Q: Thomson Reuters via LSEG Stock Report Plus (on the iTrade platform) gives LLY-N an Average Score of 4 out of 10. From my perspective, this is a low score given the momentum in the stock price of LLY-N. Any insights about this conundrum, at least in my mind?.....As it makes me wonder about continuing to hold a small position in LLY-N.....Thanks......Tom
