Q: Hi
despite some insider selling in a question by someone else in early April
it has taken another jump to new high this am

is there any fundamental reasons for the spike in this stock
I am aware that it is more defensive as consumer staples stock (am I right?)

I have a partial position, time to take profit or add to ? (I broke even a month ago)
thanks to your wisdom

is there an alternate stock (Cdn) you would recommend?

Michael
hold the stock for a few years, able to break even, dividend is nice, though not a high
dividend payer

Q: Hi team. Scr has quickly become my worst performer down 45% now for me. I am seeing recent price targets of $50, $55; over double today’s levels? Any insight to all the selling recently? Is this a case where a person should just hold now at this point and hope for a recovery , add more , or bail? Thanks for the insight !

Q: I am interested in an 'all-in-one' diversified ETF to provide regular (quarterly/monthly) income such as VCIP, that best meets the following criteria:
1) Fairly conservative
2) As tax-advantaged as possible as it will be held in a non-registered account
3) Yield that can reasonably be expected to outpace inflation over time
4) MER<0.4

The rest of the investment portfolio is well diversified across geography, market cap, and sector, achieved with a few broad market index ETFs.

Q: Hello 5i gang.
I have a general question that I'm hoping you can shed some light on.
I find it difficult to get my head around some of the market cap. vs revenue etc of some of these high flyers discussed here on a regular basis.
Can you give me a general sense of how a company that is currently at 20m in revenue with a market cap of 1.3b would grow into this valuation? Are we talking multiple years of several hundred % growth compounding? Or am I looking at this all through the incorrect lens?
I assume at some point fundamentals will matter and if said growth does not materialize, the stock price will come back to the "correct" valuation?

Thanks for your help.

Q: Good afternoon folks
BNTX has been doing very well as of late. I am up 35% ish. Also my entire health sector weighting is 6.85%...all US$...BNTX is 2% of this total. I also own MDT, DXCM, ZTS, GH, & VEEV. I have too many stocks in general throughout all sectors and am trying to sell off several slowly but surely. ( I have 66 stocks). The problem being I fall in love with each of them...(yes....very bad I know)...as they have mostly been carefully chosen and watched over almost every day.
My question is should I sell all of my BNTX or shave but sell any of the others mentioned above,
Thanks as always for your sound advice.
