Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Why is there this marked difference between WTI & WCS? Is it because western Canadian oil is land locked? Is it a squeeze caused by US refineries who know there is no alternative to them as a buyer at this time? Will this difference improve when the Canadian pipeline to British Columbia is finished? The difference now is about $16.00 but at times it can be $30.00.
Thanks Dave

Q: I currently own ABBV. I am aware of the off-patent cliff for Humira. Earnings are expected to drop when they are announced at the end of this month. I'm not so sure their other two drugs - Rinvoq and Skyrizi - will be capable of picking up the slack. I had read a recent article, and it gave me the impression that Humira and its new biosimilar competitors have some active ingredient(s) that allows them to be used for patients using Rinvoq and Skyrizi (?) In other words, I'm wondering if the upside of Rinvoq and Skyrizi is limited. I think you like ABBV, but is there any concern longterm? The market doesn't appear to be pricing in the risks.

I've pared back some of my ABBV shares, and am considering selling the rest. Alternatively, how robust is Amgen's pipeline in comparison ? LLY looks historically expensive, and I already own JNJ.

Q: Hello Peter et al,

From your answers your faith and belief in GOOG seems unshakeable! Would say it is worth nibbling at this price? Or is it worth buying cash covered puts and be ready if assigned? In other words, wade in gradually (DCA as per your recent editorial in CMS!) or use options strategy? If you do hazard a guess, what would be the floor for GOOG? 90$? Your crystal ball is as good as anyone's on CNBC!!

Mano.

P.S. BTW miss you at BNN! You folks may want to consider regular webinars for the subscribers with a Q&A function.

Q: Have a couple of stocks in LSPD and SNAP that have performed poorly over the last year. Was thinking about replacing with Lumine Group and AEHR. Do you think a trade like this would make sense. Would there be other stocks that have high upside that you would also consider? Thank you
