Q: You may not be familiar with this company as it's a US-based bio-tech. But, in case you do, ALNY just reported and the results were very good. Yet even before they reported the stock was dropping and is continuing to drop. Any reason why?
Thanks,
Murray

Q: I'm holding a under weight position here and debating on closing it out and adding to my a&w position which would put me to an equal weight there. The fund has been totally silent on the Cara deal and all though the first quarter result showed positive signs of growth it was far from reflective in the share price. I am wondering if the Cara deal is not being viewed in a positive light for the fund.
