Q: I wrote to you about US utilities on July 20,2020. Included in my question were : AEP (with DUK and SO).
AEP dropped about 4% this morning. I didn’t see any news today that is bad enough to affect the share price that much. All news items are two or more days ago. Do you see anything what caused the price drop? 4% is not trivial for a steady bond proxy.

In particular , would you change or update your answer to my July 20 question please? Thanks.

Q: Your views on AMGN. The price is moving in the range between US$230 to US$245. Pays a dividend yielding 2.5% plus and increasing dividend year over year. One bad thing is happening with its new drugs. They are failing and not getting approval. Your views. Should exit the position? What's your choice? Do not own any drug company but own BAX-N as 10% of my portfolio. I run very concentrated portfolio based on individual companies and ignoring sectors.

Q: What is the future of Dupont? The company did acquisitions then merger then sold some business and finally split in three but company never grew? Your suggestions. Should I switch to DOW-N which I got when DWDP (DowDupont) split or APD-N which is betting on new $7-bil Hydrogen plant project?

Q: Hello,

Since the last question, insiders have continued to buy, and debt seems to be more manageable now, at least according to TD Bank / ThomsonReuters. I'd be grateful to hear any update in your thinking on this one, half a year later.

On a related note, I've noticed over the years that CFOs tend to buy less than other officers, such as CEOs and Directors. Is it stretching things to assume CFOs are more conservative by nature, and that significant insider buying by a CFO is a slightly stronger indicator than by another officer? Am curious to hear your take.

Please deduct two credits.

Thanks,

Marc.

Q: Hi. There seems to be some confusion between a “ gaming “ company and a “ gambling “ ( or betting ) company. For example, EGLX is involved in gaming while WYNN is involved in gambling. Two very different activities. Derek
