Q: Hi, before you mentioned that we should keep small cap positions to around 3%. Ahead of WELL earnings, my WELL position is closing in on 5%. Is this reasonable or too aggressive? I can handle some volatility and I am a long term growth investor. I see in your growth portfolio WELL is over 5% now. Would you look to trim back to around 3% or maintain the 5% position? Thanks!

Q: Hi,
I own TDOC and there is much "noise" today about Amazon entering the telehealth space and its all doom and gloom for TDOC.
I thought this news was actually "old news" in the sense that we did anticipate this was going to happen.
In your opinion, does this move by Amazon fundamentally change anything for TDOC?
Thanks,

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor. I am in the process of trimming my way out of Shaw (held in my TFSA) and looking at where to deploy the funds as they become available over time. I know WELL is not the same risk as SJR, but I am considering it.

However I really focus on asset allocation. I see WELL listed as Healthcare as well as Technology. Is it a hybrid? My tracking system has no problem with splitting it up into either or both sectors. As an example TC Energy, as a pipeline, is categorized as both a Utility as well as Energy. I believe it is a Utility, but because it seems to trade more like Energy stocks. I go 50-50.

I could do the same with WELL. What portion of their business is technology? Is any part of their business related to the Telecom sector? If I was forced to pick one sector, I'd go with Healthcare. Your thoughts?

Thanks....Steve

Q: Good morning, would you be able to comment on NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, do you see it as a stock worth picking up, and if you do, at what entry point would you yourself feel comfortable going in? I have been waiting for it to go lower but it seems to have a good bit of strength in the .90-$1.00 range. I was hoping it would dip into the .70s but its not looking like that will happen again soon. Thank you!!

Q: Haven’t seen a question since January. MDRA looks over sold and the stock has just issued a possible early technical buy signal using scholastics. More importantly this mRNA technology got another “shot in the arm” with the latest data indicting that they may work by STOPPING transmission not just mounting an immune response to decrease the course f the disease while you remain contagious. How well funded is MRNA. How is their free cash flow and their debt load. This technology keeps getting more and more exciting. Malaria, the common cold, HIV, etc!! And if is better maybe even influenza?

Q: So working in the finance industry, when it comes to business valuation, I know private health clinics get very low multiples. If Well is continues to consolidate in a space where now one else is and provides technological efficiencies. Even if they are just able to capture the majority of market share in Canada, could the potential upside be the sky?

I'm looking to sell and replace with something in same sector/space with better share price growth potential. Medium risk with 2- 3 year horizon. Dividend would be nice but not absolutely necessary.

Q: DOC closed a bought deal today at 2.70 in the face of a market price which is much lower now but was a bit above the deal pricing when announced. I assume the brokers and/or underwriters will want to recover the value of their investment but I do not know how this sort of event generally proceeds. Can you clarify please, including the role and obligations of the parties and the likely outcome for the share price. Thanks
