Q: You have recommended HHL in several recent answers. I currently hold LIFE and would appreciate your comparison of the two. I would have to declare a small capital gain to make a switch; would you endorse such a move?

Q: I have a 2/3 position in MDT whose share price has fallen much more than I expected due to a product recall. Was the said recall bad enough to warrant such a drop? I am tempted to top up my position. I hesitate, thinking there must be some bad news out there that I am unaware of. Is there?

MDT seems to have high trailing P/E probably due to elective surgery being postponed. Do you have the following: PEG; fwd P/E; ROE; ROCI ?

I also wonder if my views towards MDT are biased because I see it on the AAII dividend model portfolio; on a BAC top picks (issued a couple of weeks ago); and because it seems to have been a reasonably good dividend grower.

Q: Can you provide comments on the Company's annual report?
Also the Company's CEO has repeatedly stated (multiple press releases reference this) that the Company will be at a revenue run rate of $2 million per month by the end of the year. If the Company were to achieve this, what is implied share price based on what competitors are trading at? Based on my estimates of $24m of annual revenue and comparables trading at 25x revenue this would imply a share price potential of over $3. It is currently just over $1.

Q: Spectral Medical (T.EDT) has multiple FDA approvals in it's stable including a wholly-owned Dialco division with a state-of-the-art home dialysis unit. Their core business is currently involved in a phase 4 confirmatory trial for sepsis in the US where their PMX filter is being used in a 2:1 ratio vs. the placebo or standard of care with a critical 28 day mortality endpoint. Data from the phase 3 trial being used too ( initially advertised as FAILED). Are you ready to be constructive on this? 30 cents? really?? Something seems a little off here.

Q: Could you weigh in on your views of TDOCs Earnings today? They continue to have increasing net losses from stock compensation and amortization expense. But I would think those are temporary. Top line growth is solid and it's an industry leader in the space.

The share price valuation seems unreasonable. It continues to stay barely above pre-covid levels after making a huge acquisition and going through a pandemic with companies looking to add telehealth capabilities to their benefit plans.

What am I missing?

Thanks as always!
