Q: Could you provide any up- dated assessment you may have re. Novo Nordisk in light of FDA approval of their obesity drug Wegovy. The monthly cost of a regimen of the drug is apparently $800.00 ( without insurance ) . But with 100 million obese Americans and obesity increasing risk factors for many other diseases, might it be a reasonable speculation that insurers may cover the drug at some point. Any sense of how much of this potential might be already factored in and how much might be a potential game changer if it plays out successfully over time?
Thank-you

Q: I see you are sitting on over 7% cash in the Income Portfolio. Any plans to deploy these funds in the short term....or is this strategic?

I notice the Balanced Portfolio is at 1% cash, while the Growth Portfolio is at 6% cash.

To my way of thinking, I can understand the Growth Portfolio having a higher cash balance due to the more volatile nature of the fund and wanting more cash, so as to take advantage of opportunities that may arise. But...I would have thought the most conservative fund, the Income Portfolio, would have the least amount of cash, so as to generate the most income at the steadiest level.

Thoughts?

Thanks...Steve

Q: I know you typically don't like averaging down. I'm underwater on the following names. Would you be comfortable adding to them and if so which order would you prioritize new money be allocated. 10+ year timeframe.

BEP.UN (down 22%)
KXS (down 21%)
TTD (down 36%)
U (down 41%)
XBC (down 54)

I assume you would advise a few more quarters with XBC before adding?

Thank you,

Stefan

Q: I was hoping you could go sector by sector and suggest some companies in both Canada and the USA which you think will attract investor interest partly because of their ESG-friendly tilt.

As one analyst explained, there are commodity producers whose costs will be reduced thanks to ESG-related government grants, thereby boosting profitability. Wondering what you make of that and if you can suggest any examples. Thanks.

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.
