Q: Hi 5i Aurinia pharma seems to have turned the corner with earnings and is also getting the drug into hospitals They are again reducing staff this time by 45%. They also have a new drug in trails. Please put on your speculative hat for the questions.

-would drug (Lupkynis) be of interest at this stage in development for another company to buy them and what would the buyout price be for the right company.
-going forward they will make about $220,000,000 a year this took about 3 1/2 years with a covid launch, what do you see max sale's being with the current set up and how many years to get there.
-Do you think Aurinia is a good speculative buy.

Thank you for your service!

Q: While questions on FOUR go back to its going public over 4 years ago, you recently seem to have become more bullish on the company. Is that because it has become profitable or are there other reasons? The payment space appears to be very competitive and I wonder what FOUR has that the others didn't or don't have. Finally, your data source lists it as a tech stock but in previous answers, you suggest it is a financial stock. Do you have strong feelings as to its classification?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: I'm trying to find reasons not to buy a little taste of this. With all of the oockroaches etc hiding here, what are the odds of a takeover? Would another company step in here and purchase and if so, what could a projected sale price look like? At what point does the risk/reward make sense if a buyout is unlikely?

My thought is that if the company/governance is terrible but the business is excellent there has to be a price that makes sense but admittedly I am just looking for a reason to do it!

Q: To this point in time LMN has been a solid performer in my TFSA. Recent results and some of your comments have "cooled" my expectations going forward.

Do you have 2 CDN and 2 US stocks for a TFSA 3 year plus hold that you feel will substantially outperform LMN.

Thanjs,

Terry

Q: A year ago I asked for your assessment of the prospects of Fiserv. A year later it is up substantially. Given its share price gains and recent earnings release I would appreciate an update on your assessment of the company over 3-5 years. I would also like your opinion on this stock being a buy, hold, or time to take some profit off the table?

Thanks very much.

Q: I'm considering a new position in MU and/or VRT. The latter has run up, the former hasn't recovered from the tech reversal. Would you favour either one for a new position, or if there is enough funds, would you try to own both? Thanks.
