Q: Hello,

I've had these three healthcare companies on my watchlist for some time. Can I get your up-to-date assessment of each re: growth prospects and balance sheet stability? Would you consider any of them to be a buy and if so, in what order and is the current valuation reasonable?

Thank you, Doris

Q: Hi, Higher yielding equities, like Utilities, Pipelines and Telcos seem to be hit more and more, everyday. Do you see these sectors to come under more pressure, as FED/BOC is not likely to relent and continue with the rate hiking cycle, may be even into 2023. We are sitting with 15-20% capital loss situation, for above two companies bought in Aug/Sep, this year. Would it make sense to sell/harvest the capital loss and buy back later with the assumption that there is more downside to come ? Thank You

Q: I am curious if your opinion of these two firms has changed. I am interested if you see any catalysts for significant growth from either of them. I do realise they are - or at least were - high risk. Just looking for some play money attempts at a 10 bagger plus! Some of my comments are below.

1) In the last couple of years ZDC has managed to move in to something we might be able to call profit, and their market cap has grown from your $4 million estimate in 2019 to about $30 million today.

2) AMI you called a sell in 2020. Their fracking sand was supposed to be a hot thing for them for years now, and I do see "some" movement in that direction, but slowly indeed.
