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?
