Investment Q&A

Q: Hello, can you comment on their latest earnings? Thanks

Q: UNH appears to be in something of a no-man’s-land for the next year or two. An RBC DS report on January 21 says “intermediate-term recovery seems already priced in ” which suggests limited near-term upside. Disagree? I don't mean to prejudice your answer, but FYI CFRA also seems unimpressed with UNH’s prospects.
I’d appreciate your view on:
• Do you agree that UNH offers limited upside over the next 12–24 months, or do you see catalysts the market is missing?
• Have large loss which is not usable for tax. Would that factor into your hold vs. exit decision?
• If you believe UNH is still worth holding, please outline your rationale.

What do you show for current , updated forward P/E, PEG, and debt levels?
• More broadly, do you think the current U.S. administration and regulatory stance will constrain UNH’s ability to grow, and is there any risk that the core business model is now structurally impaired?
Many thanks! :ao:

Q: What would be your US stocks for tax loss selling?
Thank you so much. Lorraine

Q: What are 5 names in Canada and in the US that look interesting with tax loss selling this year?

Q: Hi, I am looking to build a diversified portfolio across various sectors and am considering adding these for consumer/healthcare/technology. Are these good picks, or would you advise against any of them, and in which order would you purchase? Thanks!

Q: I have all small positions in those equities … which one or 2 would you increase in size at the present moment?

Q: There are two questions here, the first relates to the abandonment of science, a policy issue. I note that HHL has recovered significantly and reportedly follows the prospects of leaders in medical science, in which Crisper also participates, that issue is now lagging and down. While this appears to be an extraordinarily cruel hit to an essential industry, question I have - is there a reason which might be ordinarily attributed to each of these related issues, and how do you perceive the outcome?



The second question relates to the price of Lithium. It is my understanding that China has closed a major supplier of Lithium and that this briefly sent the price soaring. It is my guess that this has occurred because salt has replaced Lithium as an energy storage mechanism for major - grid related - energy storage facilities, despite its lower energy density and because of its availability and cost to produce, but that Lithium is expected to be used in cars, bikes, and hand held devices because of its higher energy density/ capacity. Does this coincide with your view of the lithium industry's prospects and do you have an opinion for the trajectory for the price of Lithium?

Q: These are my current holdings. Can you suggest 2 usa names to add to this list which might be complementary? I was thinking about NXT but it's jumped today. I would like to add two names that are not at 52 week highs but yet, are also "growthy." Maybe something that has pulled back irrationally like a NXT or UNH (prior to the big gains today). Thank you,

Jason

Q: I hold HHL in my RRIF which is primarily focused on income. I am considering switching HHL to
HHLE. This would increase my income by approximately 30% on this money and allow me to keep the same list of healthcare stocks. Does this make sense; any downsides ; am I missing anything?

As an aside , I am at breakeven with HHL as the sector is under pressure from Trump and also United Healthcare has dampened the sector. But with Trump wanting lower drug prices , the companies will be going overseas to compensate for lower US revenue as witnessed by Eli Lilly raising international prices for Mounjaro.
Thanks .Derek

Q: Buffet has purchased a stake. Is it time to buy in?

Q: Good Morning Everyone,

I’ve heard a stat that claims that ~80% of the returns since “liberation day” have come from 10 stocks. (MAG 7, PLTR, ORCL, AVGO)
Is this true? Is this unusual?

May I have 10 each of your favourite CAN and US value stocks to look at please?

Thank you!

Q: Folks...great service....can you suggest 3-4 beaten down Canadian and US stocks that you think are great opportunities for rebounds in the next 6 months?
Thank you.

Q: I have been reviewing my health care holdings and I am disappointed in the whole sector. Their percentage of my holdings has dropped, and if I rebalance I should be adding another 50% to these holdings. I am unhappy with IHI and UNH, even ISRG is in the doldrums. Your thoughts on adding to the health care sector and these companies/ETFs at this time. Are there other companies much better suited that I am missing. I am tempted to remove the whole sector from my portfolio, as I am comfortable with risk.

Q: Why do you think Health Care stocks around the world seem to be down on a yearly basis? Is there anything other than a normal cycle shift?

Thank you

Paul
