Q: I would like to add a good, US dividend-paying stock in either the tech or healthcare sector. Currently, I own JNJ in healthcare and IBM in tech; please provide recommendations in both sectors that would complement my current holdings. I am looking for stability; a secure, good dividend (either ~3%, or ~2% with good dividend growth); and anticipate a holding period of forever. Please also indicate your top recommendation for each sector, given my notes. Thank you.

Q: I bought QCOM a couple of months ago with the intention of holding this longterm for the dividend. In light of the potential takeover by Broadcom, what should I do now and/or if/when it gets taken over? If I have to find a replacement, which US tech-sector stock would you endorse for a generous, stable dividend (preferably >3% if possible) and modest growth, for a longterm hold?

Q: Hi,

My question is regarding their recent offer for convertible debentures and I would appreciate any thoughts you might have on them. The cd's will bear 7% interest paid semi annually, with a conversion price of 2.20. There is also the chance THCX would force the conversion of all of the principal amount of the outstanding cd's on 30 days' notice if the average trading price of the common shares be greater than 3.15 for any 10 consecutive trading days. I do agree with your skepticism of this sector, but can't help but wonder about this one partly because of it's location and partly because we have a government that seems to be willing to move forward with setting standards that might help this industry to become more established.
On the other hand, it also occurs to me that with the recent rise in the US dollar, I should just buy MSFT, INTC or more NVDA, the latter which thank you - I bought on your recommendation some time ago.
