Q: Hi Peter and Staff
If I am correct, I believe you were high on DXCM at one point and may not feel as high on it today? It had gone up nicely until recent earnings but downward spiral since then. Is it closer to a buy or a sell in a basket of health care stocks .
Secondly, assuming it might be deemed not as good as some or all of the following,, please rank the top 4 in order from
ABBV, CRRX, ISRG,MDT,SYK,VEEV and WELL

THanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: How are you feeling about GH these days?
Do you see better opportunities out there for an investor who's currently in the red?
Thank you!

Q: Hi,
TDOC is down roughy 50% from its high while I am down ~20%.
This is the only health/telehealth stock I own within my portfolio.
I wanted to maybe sell out of TDOC and buy another stock within the same industry. I realize that this could be a foolish move as I would sell at a 20% loss only to acquire another stock that could drop too.
What would be your thought process and would you still be ok with TDOC?
Thanks,

Q: I follow the Balanced Portfolio & am wondering why you continue to hold GUD in the portfolio. In the portfolio it is down 47%, since Dec 2020 the price has remained at its low & the stock pays no dividend. Does 5iResearch see a favourable turn around in the near future.
Thanks … Cal

Q: Hi team,

Grateful for your views on Oncorus (oncr-a). Apparently, the CEO was previously head of oncology at Moderna. Any other favorites for growth in the field of immunotherapy ?

With great appreciation for your work,

Q: hello 5i:
I haven't seen a question on ABBV's latest earnings, so if you've answered already, please ignore this one. If not, can you review their latest quarter and particularly the discussion on drugs in the pipeline? I'm considering adding to about a 2% position.
thanks

Q: Hi 5i team,

Further to Dave’s question on Jan 22/21, can you please add ClearField Inc (CLFD) to your database.
The recent quarter appeared to handily beat again, can they continue their impressive growth rates going forward and specifically, post pandemic? Would you start an initial (⅓) position? Is there anything concerning in their financials (P/E, etc) that would make you cautious? The Q2 release mentioned possible supply chain issues in the near term, is this concerning to you?
Given the higher Cdn $ these days it seems like a good time to buy some US stocks.

My other choice is Abcellera (ABCL) which has fallen quite a bit in the last 3 months. Any specific reason for the decline other than vaccines are more widely available/distributed.? Any preference between these two? I don’t own either stock currently.

Appreciate the work the team does!!
Steve

Q: What do you think about their announced NCIB? Since they are a growth by acquisition growth company, they have a tendency to issue shares and they need their available cash. Why would they start buying back shares in this case? Are they just trying to ‘stick it’ to the short sellers? Seems like a weird capital allocation strategy to me.
