Investment Q&A

Q: I own some GILD and am looking to add to it due to its drop in share price which I can't seem to pinpoint why. Do you believe this is a stock to be adding to, (assuming weighting is still in line). If not, any other recommendations for US value stocks (any sector)

Q: Hello 5i team

Saw your answer to my question yesterday. Thank you for that.

Anything else you have seen or heard which might explain the 6% plunge in share value since the beginning of the week? (down 12% in the last 10 days)

Thanks for all you do

Q: hello 5i team

Have been watching GILD for a while now as I think there is tremendous potential. Having said that today it was reported AbbVIE appears to have pulled a bit of a fast one on GILD by convincing the patent office they have invented a novel computer model to predict effective combination therapies. This has apparently convinced the patent office the very same patents applied for by GILD back in Sept actually belong to AbbVIE.

It was these very patents which gave GILD such a big upside moving forward but now it appears with AbbVie jumping into the picture the market is not looking favorably at GILD with it down almost 10% in 10 days and dropping.

Both are now suing each other.

Can you shed any light on all this for us and exactly what it means for GILD moving forward.

Thanks for all you do

Q: I know you are not really into u.s. Stocks but if you had to recommend 2 or 3 mainly for growth what would they be. I own gilead and bank of america and just on cdn. Dollar weakness i am doing fine, i expect the cdn. Dollar to continue lower, so why not a few more u.s. Stocks .dave

Q: Gilead Science GILD.US had 2 pieces of good news today. UK government has approved its drug for Hepatitis C at the full price charged in the US. Roche had its patent challenge rejected. GILD has moved up by about 2% on this news and is up about 20% since the beginning of June. This is now about 10% of my portfolio.
I would be grateful for your comments.
