Q: Could you provide any up- dated assessment you may have re. Novo Nordisk in light of FDA approval of their obesity drug Wegovy. The monthly cost of a regimen of the drug is apparently $800.00 ( without insurance ) . But with 100 million obese Americans and obesity increasing risk factors for many other diseases, might it be a reasonable speculation that insurers may cover the drug at some point. Any sense of how much of this potential might be already factored in and how much might be a potential game changer if it plays out successfully over time?
Thank-you

Q: Your views on AMGN. The price is moving in the range between US$230 to US$245. Pays a dividend yielding 2.5% plus and increasing dividend year over year. One bad thing is happening with its new drugs. They are failing and not getting approval. Your views. Should exit the position? What's your choice? Do not own any drug company but own BAX-N as 10% of my portfolio. I run very concentrated portfolio based on individual companies and ignoring sectors.

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: I am looking to increase my healthcare exposure in the US. Would you recommend VEEV or GH or both or would you have other recommendations. Risk is not a factor.
Thanks for your service!

Q: Hi Peter, I've taken some comfort despite my loss on BDX shares because some commentators have pointed out that their products (joint replacements) will soon benefit from the pent-up demand due to Covid-caused delays in such surgeries. However, Stryker, which is in a similar business, has significantly outperformed BDX both before and after Covid. In other words, do you know why BDX is so underperforming SYK, and would you hang onto (or perhaps add to) BDX at this point? Thank you.

Q: Eddy Elfenbein recently wrote a detailed review of Veeva Systems (he also did one on The Trade Desk a few weeks ago for those that want to better understand that company). In general, he likes the company and its prospects but felt it was quite overpriced. I know that many tech growth stocks have seen share price reductions and Veev seems in line with those drops. I have owned the stock for a while and intend to continue to own it. What do you think my expectations should be going forward - slow and steady growth, high growth or it flatlines for several months as it grows into its current valuation?

Appreciate your insight.
