Q: Hello, I saw that there are seven new CDRs from CIBC: Verizon, McDonald's, Nike, Starbucks, Coca-Cola, United Health, and Cisco. Without going into the CDRs versus buying on American exchanges debate, I am curious to know if some of these stocks are worth buying today, which ones, the reason why and in what order (from most compelling to least)., presumably for a 5-year holding period. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i Team,
With the continued decline of stocks related to the semi-conductor industry (e.g. materials, fabrication, testing), is now a good time to buy for a 3+ year hold? Or should I wait for prices to settle?
Either way, could you please recommend 3 stocks for me to consider (not including NVDA, which I already own) and include a brief comment explaining each choice.
Thanks!

Q: Good Morning Peter & Team,
On November 3rd subscriber Peter' asked;
"Top USD stocks for dividend income please."
Your answer offered a number of suggestions all of which indeed generate good dividends but offer minimal (for the most part) in the way of capital gains.
Can you please tell me how your answer might have been different if the question had asked for;
"Top USD stocks for dividend income which have the potential for good growth/capital gains moving forward please."
Thanks for all you do
gm

Q: Your Portfolio Analyzer tells me that I need more 'Healthcare" since I only have UNH and Well. Can you suggest an addition?
It also noted that I have zero consumer defensive. Can you suggest two for this sector.
A further note was being over weight in Canada.
Thanks again! Dan
