Q: Would you recommend to buy, hold, or sell GSK?

I ask on behalf of a relative I help with investing. GSK is currently 1.3% of their portfolio. I had already been thinking of recommending that they sell when the news on June 3 came out:

"Shares of GSK dropped more than 9% on Monday, after a Delaware judge allowed more than 70,000 lawsuits alleging its discontinued heartburn drug Zantac caused cancer, to go forward, in a blow for the British drugmaker."

They are at a 15% loss with their GSK holding (less if you consider dividends), but luckily it is a small part of the portfolio.

I am leaning toward a 'sell recommendation' but am open to counter arguments.

Thanks so much!

Q: The Ukraine Recovery Conference happening in Berlin had me wondering how someone might be able to participate in reconstruction as an investor, beyond a Ukraine-specific ETF.

This of course assumes a Russian defeat and (hopefully) longer term stability.

Q: Hello, when we buy a company like for example EVVTY (on the OTC market), should it reflect the same pattern as the shares on their primary market, in this case on the Stockholm market ? Will the dividend be payed on the OTC market ?

I wonder because some days the shares are up on the Stockholm market and down on the OTC market. Also the shares on the OTC have a return of -10,38% YTD and -5,64% on the Stockholm market.

Thanks you for the education and feel free if you have more information on the subject.

This beer company is at a new low. Please give me your prognosis going forward. I am looking at it as a contrarian pick. Are there hidden risks that I do not see? Better to wait a couple of quarters? Thanks...your opinion is alway valuable and has helped me as a retail investor.
