Q: Hello 5i advisors, these are the 5 US stocks causing me pain this year; i feel that all are basically good companies with room to run; (DEA, of course a Reit), I know that SHLS has received an inadequate supply and that they are litigating about that, and that they swung to a loss on last earnings; I don't know how large that issue is in terms of their revenues, profits, liability. Please rate these as buys, holds, sells from here and, for the holds, how much patience may be needed and how much upside you see. thanks

Q: Season's greetings - what are your thoughts on MRNA. The skin cancer test results lofted the shares yesterday. It still seems inexpensive, given a sub six PE. I have a small holding and am thinking of investing more. It's well within my portfolio recommendations. Don't understand why it not getting more love with all the viruses running around the world. Thanks

Q: Moderna seems to have come back down to earth. Last week the US Gov't started a case because their scientists were not included in the patent, and today they are announcing positive data from a phase 2 study for another mrna product, as well as a C-19 booster authorized for people over 18 years. How does the stock look now? Do they stand to lose profit if they lose the case to the US Gov't? Is it something interesting to buy at this level?

Q: When comparing the two companies would you say there’s a lot of overlap in their businesses? Is one diversified enough in healthcare owning both and if not, which would you prefer? Also, could you recommend a few HC stocks that would compliment either? Thanks!

Q: Don’t you think the increase in the MRK stock price is excessive given that the benefits were shown in unvaccinated people which is a shrinking market because more and more people are vaccinated and that this MRK news release shouldn’t be a negative for Covid vaccine manufacturers like MRNA…isn’t MRNA a screaming buy now. Isn’t the market misunderstanding the news release?
