Q: I know that abbivie is one of your favourites. But, I have been worried that .ABBV does not have a diverse product offering and is heavily reliant on one drug - Humira . I have also read that there is a rotation out of healthcare. I was wondering what were your thoughts on this problem? Wondering also, whether because of the rotation out of healthcare, whether this might be a good time to sell?
thanks

Q: Further to you explaining your investment philosophy in your July 9/21 answer to Todd.

Regarding not "averaging down".....how about the situation where you are slowly building a position over time, as funds become available? For example, I am in the process of building a position in Leon's (LNF). I bought in Jan '21-$21.60, Apr '21-$21.95, June '21-$21.65 and plan to buy my last portion when the monies become available in August or September. Each time I review various LNF metrics, as well as recent 5IR questions, and then decide whether adding is appropriate. If I continue to like the metrics/answers and LNF happens to be lower in price, I then feel like I am getting it on sale. Does this rationale make sense to you?

Thanks for your help...Steve
