Investment Q&A

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

Q: Healthcare is approximately 10% of our portfolio. Medical Facilities is the largest investment which we have held for a long time. JNJ and HCP we have added more recently. NVS and AZN we inherited. We want to simplify our portfolio and plan to sell NVS and AZN and add to JNJ. Wonder what your opinion is of DR and HCP specifically and also AZN which I didn't see mentioned in your question section.
Thank you, Marie

Q: The GUD investing thesis is largely based on management including past success with Paladin. Paladin was certainly a well run company and created lots of value for shareholders so credit to management is not misplaced. But, do you think that the ultimate success with Paladin was more a function of incredibly lucky timing to have been taken out during a really crazy pharma cycle? In other words, how much credit goes to management and how much goes to a once in a generation crazy pharma cycle?

Q: Hello, I am looking to add IHI to the healthcare allocation of my portfolio (10%) but would like to sell one existing holding first. Current healthcare related holdings are JNJ, ABBV, GUD and SIS (although I have SIS filed under Industrials). My question: which of JNJ and ABBV would you advise selling? Thank-you.

Q: Last week, Resverlogix received a positive confirmation from the FDA that it would likely support approval of BETon MACE based on the result of its Phase 3 study. The stock moved up ~28% today. It shows great promise in treating types of cardiovascular disease. From your experience, is it normal for the FDA to offer a positive comment? Would you have an opinion based on the FDA comment to open a position? I am a prudent investor yet have room for higher risk opportunities.
Thank you
