Q: Hi Everyone at 5i! You have mentioned that HHL is not your favorite ETF in the health care sector. What would you consider to be a more favourable alternative that exhibits better growth and some income as well ? Cheers, Tamara

Q: I'm looking to take advantage of the strengthening CAD and add risk by selling my stake in GUD (break even) and purchasing caredx and gaurdent for a five year holding period. Is this a bad idea? Will recent comments from the White House around healthcare reform help or hurt these companies? Thanks

Q: Good morning team,
Re: Gud's NCIB:
“Be mindful that the largest beneficiary of the share repurchase program is Jonathan Goodman. Even if he does not participate, the reduction of shares at a substantial discount to last $10 per share capital raise only serves to increase his percentage control of the company. Like his conflicting interests with his family business (Pharmascience), either way he wins and shareholders lose.

“Rather than engage in financial engineering that principally benefits the CEO, why didn’t the Board consider a partial tender offer for shares at $10? Just give shareholders their money back at the price paid? It’s a fair question. But one that we fully expect the company to ignore.

Q: Hi 5i,

Can I get your thoughts on Personalis, Inc.? It has pulled back since the IPO. What do you think of the risk/reward ratio? Would it compare to Guardant?

TIA!

Q: Does the legal action started have any possibility? Most of these issues end up dying a slow death. Shareholders have been deceived but whether there is sufficient fact here is questionable as is the usual response of the TSX and authorities to simply allow managements actions that are clearly against minority shareholders wishes. It would be nice to see some teeth in investor law.

Q: Hi 5i team,
Thank you for your answer on Eidos Therapeutic on 21st, June. I own this stock and has gone up 30% + thanks to your positive comment ( at least the ceo has bought 28m in shares), I usually hold on to my winner and let it runs, but I do not understand why it gone up so fast within a short period of time with no news.

As stated in your answer, the company has no revenue and is still losing money. Do you see further upside for this stock ? Should I continue to hold ?

Thank you for your excellent service and helpful advice as always.
