Q: What is your current view of Profound Medical? They have received clearance from the FDA to market Tulsa-Pro. Is this not huge news? Are there further FDA approvals pending? Although up a few cents (at time of question) it is still not back to July 2018 level of $1. Would you hold?

Q: This seems to be a reasonably good way to play the major healthcare industry. I am not sure how the covered call aspect of this ETF would play in a rising market, i.e. is it the same as the tech industry, where a covered call aspect would act as a drag on the performance. Your thoughts please.

Thanks, David

Q: Is it time to get rid of PFE. I've had this for years and done well but it's been on a downward trend for a while now. What was once a 45% gain has dwindled to 13%. This is starting to remind me of GE where you hang on hoping for a turn around and nothing but bad news keeps happening. Thinking of replacing it with CVS. Your opinion is greatly appreciated.
thanks

Q: The worst kept secret is that GUD wants to buy Paladin Labs back from ENDP. As ENDP continues to get crushed by its debt and seemingly more desperate by the day, I would assume that this puts GUD is a better position with each passing moment.
If this is the case, shouldn’t that make GUD more valuable?

Q: Good morning,
VMD is down almost 15 % today. The only news I can see is that they just announced that they will have a listing on Nasdaq. Is it not generally positive news, when a stock is able to have more than one listing? It seems by the reaction that this is viewed negatively.
Thanks,
Jim

I know US listed stocks are not your focus just looking for an opinion on ZTS quarter numbers that were just reported. It looks good to me, I hold this in a TFSA well diversified. Would you add more to current position? My average cost currently is 94 per share, I am looking for long term capital growth. Thanks
