Q: In the healthcare sector I hold ABBV, BMY, MDT, AZN and CVS. Am looking to swap one out for a growth/value holding, perhaps in Industrials (maybe LMT?). Was thinking AZN would be my odd one out. Would appreciate your thoughts on best approach for long term buy and hold portfolio given the 5 holdings noted here. Thanks.

Q: Now that the financing of the proposed buyout of CRH is confirmed I was expecting that WELL's stock would stabilize. Could it be that the threat of class actions on behalf of current CRH holders may have to do with the continuous fall of WELL ? Is there anything else but just profit taking on WELL after their spectacular run in 2020?
Thank you for your insight.

Q: Hi 5i, BNGO
This company is not currently in your data base. I am considering a 1/2 or 1/4 position is this genomics company and would like your opinion on 2- 3 year hold.
Is this a company you would have any interested in at the current price. Why/why not.
Any suggestions for similar strong candidates in this space.
Thx
Jim

Q: I was bullish on this for some time because the Ontario Gov't paid them to develop expanded, locally produced lab products, including but not limited to COVID and other testing reagents and VTM.
My fear was that a cheap, rapid test would make their COVID line irrelevant, but variants may be just the thing to keep their more technical tests relevant long-term.
How would you now view their risk/return as I want to add to my small 1% position?

Q: I thought CVS was a reasonably good value at or below its recent price in the mid-70 dollars. It reported results today February 16, and tumbled ~ 5%. Before release of those latest results, I had calculated ROE just under 15% and PEG at ~2.4. (1) Do you have updates to key metrics, in addition to the above-noted ones (incorporating the latest results). (2) CVS’ acquisition of Aetna did cause indigestion, but I thought things were much better now. Not so? (3) I had also thought CVS’ participation in the administration of vaccines would very likely enhance impulse sales also. I am wrong on that too? ( So far, I am scoring zero out of 10, yes?)

Am I wrong about CVS? If it is not worth adding to my position, should I sell or leave my half position in peace for now and just monitor?

Q: As I type this question ILMN is up 13.68% today. I believe they reported yesterday so they must have been strong numbers. I'm thinking of selling my PFE to buy ILMN because (not including dividends) I'm slightly negative with PFE over 3 years. I know you like ILMN and I would be buying a higher risk company and cutting back the dividends but ILMN just seems an excellent company. It would be about a 2% weighting. Any comments would be appreciated.
Regards,
Jim
