Q: Well announced today that Circle’s growth continues to be excellent and possibly accelerating. The last thing I would think of doing is selling that business if I owned part of it. They talk about unlocking shareholder value. I would prefer they buy more of Circle. Never mind selling there piece.
What are your thoughts on this.

Q: i've owned a half position in Edwards Lifesciences for several years in a basket of several important US medical companies. Certainly I see an opportunity to create a full position at these low levels. However I'm primarily a dividend investor close to retirement, and Edwards does not pay me a dividend. Is the company ever likely to pay a dividend ? What is the likely future for this company ten or twenty years out.

Q: I bought LLY on your advice a few weeks ago and it has been declining ever since. I am now down 14.6%, marking the steepest decline over this same period of any stock I own. All things being equal, my general rule of thumb is to cut the chord when stocks decline by 15% to minimize future losses. In LLY's case, I hold it in a non-registered account and can thus claim a tax loss. I confess to being disappointed by the stock's recent performance as part of my purchasing decision was driven by your very strong endorsement immediately prior to my purchase. (You had rated the company as a 9/10 for safety and 9/10 for growth.) If you were me, would you wait for LLY to eventually turn around (as I'm sure it will at some point) or are there greener pastures out there?

Q: Hello,

I have small investments in LLY, ISRG, and UNH within the health sector. With the recent news about increased competition for LLY in the weight control product market, should I take advantage of the price decrease to increase my stake in LLY, or would you recommend another biopharmaceutical company?

Thanks. Esther
