Q: Can I get your updated views an Velan? It has had a nice run this year but still well below its previous highs. Likely on the risky side given small market cap & debt?
Thanks.

Q: Good afternoon:
From an income investor's point of view, could you provide recommendations of your favorite 7 to 10 companies each of which have little to no debt?
As a second question, could you also provide your top 3 to 5 growth company names, again with little or no debt.
Thank you
Ian
