Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

James Hodgins commented on Savaria recently: "There is all this growth potential in the stair lifts but a big chunk of their business is car lifts, which are a big luxury and which is in decline. He is slightly short the stock. He doesn't see a huge upside."

This stock is a loser in my wife's RRIF, and would like your opinion regarding his negative opinion of the car lift sector, and if you concur that it's the main reason for recent under performance.

Would you be OK with classifying Savaria in the Healthcare sector instead of Industrial?

Thanks as always for your advice and insight.

Q: I just received an email from Citron talking about SDGR. They feel it is the second coming of TSLA but of course, in a different industry.
They are a brand new IPO and are up 20% today, but would this be worth purchasing in the event that it pulls back to prior to the letter and held for a period of time.
In a nutshell they recap it thusly:

"Through use of artificial intelligence and a world class scientific team that is unmatched by ANY public company, Schrodinger has created a software platform that integrates predictive physics-based methods with machine learning to become the leader in molecular simulation that 1) reduces the average time and cost required to identify a drug development candidate and 2) increases the probability of drug discovery programs entering clinical development.

With the global pharma industry spending approximately $180 billion on R&D annually, this innovative software platform is completely disrupting the drug development process."

Would you invest in this concept yourselves, once you research more about it.? I know its not a p/e , value play it may or may not be TSLA of 10 years ago.

Thanks

Sheldon

Q: Hi, great job my portfolio is up, thanks.
I bought GUD for sector, management, cash position, growth (safety) etc.
They finally made an acquisition which looks ok.(no homerun?) still down ,bought at $8.50
Looks like an important quarter in March,if it is good all should be ok, if not ,it will not have the big cash backstop that it did in the past. Won’t this be a problem?
Getting a little impatient, if it is only a so-so or down quarter, is it not time to seriously consider an alternative? Or would you give it “another”3-5 years?
Thanks,

Q: I'd appreciate your take on Premier Health which no analyst seems to cover. I discovered it while searching for other publicly-traded companies that use OSCAR as a platform for their electronic medical record (EMR) offerings.

WELL Health has been very clear that they are in the hunt for OSCAR-related assets - it so happens that PHGI has three of them (JunoEMR, KindredEHR and ClinicAid). They also have a couple of other assets that WELL would like to have or planning to develop (e.g. 4 clinics, a patient portal, telemedicine, a medical billing app, 2 pharmacies, interactive kiosks, etc.).
