Q: Hello 5i,
According to RBC Global Investment outlook, their top 3 U.S. sectors are: Financial (11%), Information Technology (28%), Consumer discretionary (13%) .
In Canada: Financial (31%), Industrials (13%), Energy (12%), material (12%).
Could you recommend 2-3 stocks in each of these classes ?

Thank you for your great service,
Carlo

Q: My question is in regards to your information about US$ Dividends. I contacted Questrade where I have an account and they were pretty clear that if I have these stocks with the TSX, then they get paid in CA$. Here is what they said:

"I will like to let you know that we are not exchanging your dividend. We are only depositing the currency we received into your account. And I have double checked with our team and they confirm we can't change the currency of the dividend or choose them.
I am sorry you will need to contact investor relation of the company to help you with this. Please note we only deposit as what we receive from the company."

This is quite different from what the article on your home page says. Am I misunderstanding? Could you please explain. Thanks so much!

Q: I have warrants to buy shares in a publicly listed company. If this company is spinning off assets as a different company, with existing shareholders getting shares of the spun-off company, would I be entitled to shares of the spin-off if I exercise my warrants in the future?
secondary question: how do you view warrant investing as an alternative to options investing?

Q: I know that abbivie is one of your favourites. But, I have been worried that .ABBV does not have a diverse product offering and is heavily reliant on one drug - Humira . I have also read that there is a rotation out of healthcare. I was wondering what were your thoughts on this problem? Wondering also, whether because of the rotation out of healthcare, whether this might be a good time to sell?
thanks
