I would be interested in any thoughts you could offer regarding Wingstop. They seem to have done very well during the crisis, but I don't know much about them - just that the accumulation seems to be continuing. Many thanks for all your hard work!

Q: Morning 5i,
I'm looking to get my US allocation in my portfolio up to ~40% in the Healthcare, Industrials, and Tech sectors. I have a VERY long time frame, but I'm interested in businesses that have aggressive/high growth in the IMMEDIATE to 2 year timeframe.

Could you please rank the names below in terms of highest short-term growth potential coming out of a COVID world (reopening, new normal).

And if possible, are there any US names that trump these selections instead? Please take as many question credits as required:

Healthcare: VEEV, AMGN, REGN
Tech: TEAM, TWLO, MSFT, NVDA, AYX, AMZN, GOOG, QCOM, PYPL
Industrials: ROP, RTX

Q: Moderna seems interesting for all the wrong reasons. I know they are promotional as you like to put it, but they don't seem to have a single product yet, indeed nothing is even at the clinical testing phase. Their minimal income I presume is from some deals with larger companies and/or simply interest from their cash horde. Do you know of anyone in the leadership with a dubious past or any other reason to suspect out and out malfeasance?
