Investment Q&A

Q: What do you think of
Buying biontech or moderna? Is it to late?

Q: HI Gang

I have a happy problem....BNTX is growing exponentially. I sold some of my shares one month ago and cannot decide whether I should shave a few more off. My weighting is 2.85% again. (But I have 65 stocks - still trying to reduce this). If I were to own only 25 or so stocks my weighting would be over 8%. How should I think of proceeding?
Thank you and stay safe...we are hopefully closing in on the finish line.

Q: What is your opinion of BNTX as a 3 year plus hold. Do you believe there is evidence to show there technology is transferable to cancer and flu vaccines. Do you see any potential downside to purchasing the stock at this time or are there other companies that you would prefer in this sector. Thanks

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.

Q: If one believes in the potential importance of mRNA therapies to the future of human medicine in applications beyond COVID vaccines, which company would stand to benefit the most? Which are likely to benefit the most in the short term from COVID vaccines, or is this "baked in" for most already? Deduct points as needed and thank you for your excellent service.

Q: We purchased ARCT at $105 US and it has dropped 50% due to underwhelming results.
It jumped 10% yesterday. Should we consider dollar cost averaging?
How would you rank the vaccine stocks in terms of growth?
Thanks for a great year.

Q: I have these 4 stocks, purchased higher than they are trading now, is there any hope they will go back up or should I just sell at a loss and take the hit? I was wondering if they may go back up with good earnings?

Q: What covid 19 vaccine stocks would you recommend --- if ay Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson and Johnson, Astro Zeneca or others.

Q: Good morning 5i: I would like to have a small position in a US vaccine company. Both Moderna and Novavax had great run-ups these past few days. Should I wait for pull back or jump in? And which one would you prefer? Thanks so much.

Q: Hi Peter and Team
Your advice on options, specifically covered calls is very much appreciated. Some time ago you had advised on opportunities in the US market for selling covered calls. As I believe that with the US election done that there may be some return to normal, is this a good time to again consider selling calls and could you advise 3 Canadian and 3 US shares that might offer good premiums ?
Thanks so much for the ongoing advice. Peter

Q: Which vaccine company if any would you recommend to invest in?

Q: Does today's price have a baked in value of the vaccine passing the fda approval or can we expect it to double or triple after approval.

Q: With the news today. Where does Gold price go in the next three months?

Q: I've learned recently that mRNA-based vaccines require extra cold storage (-70C; dry ice temperature). This will be a logistical challenge if such vaccines are approved. Two-part question:

1. Your thoughts on the impact of this logistical challenge on PFE/BNTX and MRNA?

2. Dry ice (solid CO2) lasts only about 3 days in insulated packages. Widespread mRNA vaccine distribution might depend on having a lot more dry ice produced at facilities near airports, shipping hubs, and smaller distribution centers. Any ideas for a play on dry ice via companies selling dry ice production equipment?

Many thanks! New subscriber this year and very satisfied!

Q: Sorry if this is a repeat question. Who do you like as an investment for coming up with a covid vaccine.

Thanks Steve

Q: Hi Team
BNTX seems to be tanking with lots of positive news for vaccines.
Do you still consider this a good hold until at least year end ?
I hold in registered accounts so cap loss / gain is not an issue.
Thanks, Peter

Q: The price of BNTX has been languishing to $68 since the stock offer at $93 per share in the July. Please help me to understand the reasons of the decline if any. Thank you very much. Bill.

Q: Hi 5i,

I am considering an investment in BioNTech. I'm just wondering about the possible upside and downside if the company is successful or unsuccessful in getting approval for their vaccine candidate?

Thanks!

Q: Is there a Canadian company that you would recommend that possibly would benefit from a vaccine to overcome Covid 19, if not what U.S. or international company would you recommend? Thank You.

Q: I would appreciate your view on this stock
Thank you, Team!
