Q: Hi, I received shares in this company (HLS) via a reverse takeover of ADM (Automodular) back in late '17.
I don't see any other questions on this company thus the inquiry. What is your valued opinion of HLS?
From their web page...'HLS Therapeutics is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the acquisition and commercialization of late-stage development, commercial-stage promoted and established branded pharmaceutical products in the North American markets. We focus on products targeting the central nervous system and cardiovascular therapeutic areas. '
They seem to have a couple of drugs Vascepa, Clozaril and Absorica that are or will generate decent revenues going forward.
They also introduced a quarterly dividend recently and I know you favour companies when this occurs.
Are they a 'show me' story right now and patience is required for a couple quarters to see how they proceed, ie it looks like they will be filing for approval with Health Canada in early 2019 for Vascepa (it's already FDA approved).
Analysts targets are for around $20 for 2019 (from your 'Companies' page).

Cheers,
Steve

Q: Hi 5i team,
I'm thinking of buying VGRO Vanguard Growth. I like the fact that it is one balanced ETF for global diversification and rebalancing by itself. However, I've read comments that the funds are not optimized for tax efficiency. What does this mean? Is it appropriate to be held inside TFSA? Any better ETFs suggestions? Thanks.

Great service

Q: I've done very well with SHOP (thanks to 5i) but it has grown to 12% of my overall portfolio. I really like to let the winners run, and am quite risk tolerant, however I am considering selling 20% and reinvesting the proceeds. I plan to top up KXS, which seems has good momentum, but need some other suggestions. What other technology stocks would you suggest at this time? Options outside of tech would be appreciated too.

I am increasingly concerned about the financial stability and credit quality of several of my investments.
Could you please provide the S&P or DBRS issuer rating or bond rating of : ENB, TRP, PKI, BCE, CSW.A, AW.UN, SIA.
This information is very difficult for me to find and is often quite dated. Could you suggest a source I could use.
Thank you........... Paul K
