Q: I understand you don't normally follow this company(trades on London Stock Exch.). I have been a long time share holder and am starting to wonder whether I want to continue with it or seek better alternatives. It has been quite flat for some time now and has done some questionable stock 'schemes' and share capital consolidations in the past. I would greatly appreciate any input and thoughts you may have on this company, if any. Many thanks to the 5I team for all their great work!

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: I have been searching for quality emerging market stocks with only moderate success to date. Does your information suggest that either of TIMB or VINP have the financial and marketing wherewithal to be strong long-term choices? Diversification and, to a lesser extent, income are my primary goals. Thanks!

Q: I am looking to expand my portfolio in the area of shipping/tankers. I like ATCO due to it's connection with Seaspan and my understanding that containers will be in demand once the economy picks up. I believe they have also recently finalized a contract to build an ice breaker. It also provides a dividend. DAC is the largest of the four and is container based as well and the most expensive of the four. SBLK is mostly dry goods like grains and coal with ties to South America and China and has seen some decent gains recently. HMLP is an LNG carrier and also provides a dividend. I can see advantages to all four but wondering if you could provide any insight or preferences to ranking and how you arrived at those rankings. Thanks very much. Enjoy the service and your insights.

Cheers,
Kevin
