Q: In a question today regarding top health care stocks you mentioned abbivie as one of the top choices but not lly. I know that in the recent past you were strong on lly over abbevie. I bought lly at that time, in fact, and profited quite well from the purchase. Thank you. My question is what made you pinpoint lly as a good prospect earlier on and what brings you to not mention it now in response to the question on top health care stocks?

Q: HI, This retired income couple want to invest 5K for our 20 year old grand daughter from our TFSA. To do so we have to sell some of our holdings in this account. Our largest holding SLF to our smallest TPZ are available with profits in most. Please suggest best to worst to select for raising the necessary cash. Our plan is to use the cash to purchase VGT.US or perhaps your other preferred etfs to be used in about 3-5 years. Thanks

Q: Good day team,

I know that you always suggest trading/buying into positive momentum but if you were to choose some stocks (regardless of sectors), on both the CDN and US sides, what would they be? As we are all aware, there is a lot of red out there in certain sectors.

Q: Happy Friday,

With the current dip and a further downside expected are there any income equities that you would classify as very attractive.

Anything in the US really strike you fancy?

Thanks very much and have a great weekend.

Q: Hi Folks
I am looking to add to my Health Sector, currently holding ABBV, PFE, GILD and WELL in various accounts. I have CVS and MRK in mind to add - which one would you recommend at this time and why ? Appreciate your comments.
Thanks
Read Answer Asked by JOHN on May 05, 2022
Q: Good morning 5i,
I have a loss in Gild and have been waiting for a time to claim it and buy a replacement. It seems to me that the recent drop in Abbivie might provide that opportunity, unless there is something I don't see. Would you think that this would be the best opportunity in this field at the moment?
thanks as always for your great work

Q: Hello, what are your thoughts on Abbvie vs Anthem? I have recently purchased both but thinking about moving it all to Anthem as I heard that Abbvie will be losing its patent on one of its most successful drug in the new year. I am diversified, currently own Stryker as well. Thoughts?
