Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Do you have a number as to what the vaccine revenue might be for COVID 19 ?
It looks like perhaps 50 or more will be splitting the pie, yet a lot of money for all I think.
I am tracking NVAX, SRNE, MRNA.
All are up astronomically, but perhaps will double
Or more from here. Do you guys own any ?
Is there an ETF that holds these vaccine company’s?
Would you buy any, if so which one or one’s ?
I see SRNE is up 26% in the first 8 minutes this morning.
Thanks

Q: This name had a nice pop after the favourable (almost glowing) Andrew Left/Citron research report. However, I see that there has been a lot of insider selling, which always makes me nervous and today I read that they are laying off a large percent of their workforce which is not exactly a glowing sign of success. What do you think about this company as a "stay at home" type of stock play? I do note your previous comments wherein you say that it was okay. Thank you.

Q: Luckily I have SHOP in my Roth IRA and need to dramatically trim.
I am currently transitioning into retirement within 6 months and want to set the Roth up as a consistent 5 to 7% income yield. I am looking at VIG and NOBL although they maybe higher risk. Would you please offer some other lower risk alternatives?

Regards,

Steve

Q: I have read a number of articles predicting that a large number of jobs, possibly in the order of 1 out of 5 or more, will remain work at home after a vaccine is developed for COVID. If companies learn to manage "work at home" employees efficiently in North America, then it seems only a matter of time before these companies start transitioning their workforces to less expensive labour, employees who "work at home" from low cost countries. Do you agree with this hypothesis? If you do, it would seem to me that international HR firms will be in high demand, to assist firms to source skilled labour in low cost countries. Which firms do you see as being able to benefit from this possible trend? At the moment, it seems to me that the market is focussing mainly on the high tech beneficiaries of these trends.

Thank you for your excellent service, and thoughtful insights.
