Q: Hello, you recommended UnitedHealth Group Inc. (UNH) in the past. The recent launch of an antitrust investigation against UNH has led to a sudden drop in the stock price. I’m curious about your thoughts on this investigation. Do you believe it will cause any damage to the company? And considering the circumstances, do you still consider UNH a good buy? Thank you!

Q: Hi 5i, this company recently tried to sell itself and there were no takers. They now have decided to let go of 25% of the workforce and buy up to 150 million dollars of shares back.

Looks like they will be cash flow positive by next quarter and are starting to get better traction on selling the drug.

The drug patent is for dosing as the chemical composition expires in a couple years. How would you value this company and would you rate it a buy hold or sell.

Q: Hi. Follow-up on your previous EQB good results quarter question. Being a rookie investor I just don’t understand after such a good quarterly report why the stock went on sale down $9.99 at one time today. Can you explain in plain layman’s term why or at least give a guess why such a big drop? If this report would have been horrible does that mean the price would have jumped? Just when I thought I knew how the game worked this change has added some confusion to my thought process. Thanks again for all that you’se guys do for us amateurs. Ken. :-)

Q: Hamilton has the tax breakdown of their ETF's for 2023 posted on their website. I see both HMAX and UMAX distributions are 84% Return of Capital. This seems high. Do you think this is an aberration or potentially the norm? If an aberration, could you please quesstimate a percent range that you'd expect Return of Capital to usually be.

Q: Life would be a lot easier if I understood the process and stock reaction/appreciation associated with mine development as well as the related economic pressures. Do you have the resources to respond to this question, particularly in relation to Solaris given the currently lowered valuation and the reported magnitude of their find. Look forward to hearing from you. With thanks.

Q: I am curious as to your take on this brief article (https://findependencehub.com/when-low-rates-cause-people-to-do-dumb-things/#more-207962) and the author's argument that given the elevated earnings multiple of growth vs value stocks (especially in the US) and historical reversion to the mean of returns, that going forward investors would be better served by exposure to value vs growth stocks (again, especially for US equities) and seemingly Canadian vs US given the "far more attractively valued" Canadian shares. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter & Team,

If I understand bonds correctly, we are in a period right now where we could see them do quite well over the next number of years. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

If you said agree.... Some of the best performing in the past have been Municipal bonds. Could you please share your thoughts on Municipal bonds specifically regarding risk? If you think they would be a good to hold in a long term portfolio? And do you have any Municipal bonds you could recommend that might do well by us?

If you said we disagree with my statement in paragraph one... could you please explain why?

Thanks for all you do

gm
