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!

Q: I currently hold Abbvie and looking to add a second health care sector name to our portfolio. This is a dividend focused portfolio and I'm considering AMGN right now given its 3.8% yield and 5 year dividend growth rate of over 10%. Any thoughts on AMGN and/or another preferred health care holding to add to our Abbvie holding?

Q: When comparing the two companies would you say there’s a lot of overlap in their businesses? Is one diversified enough in healthcare owning both and if not, which would you prefer? Also, could you recommend a few HC stocks that would compliment either? Thanks!

Q: What are you thoughts on thermo fisher for a long term hold. It seems like the magna of health care industry providing products for making drugs without the risk of drugs going of patent . They also make some drugs on limited runs for companies. How do these companies do in a rising interest rate world if that does come to pass.

Q: what are your thoughts on thermo fisher at current prices for a long term hold. I would like some health care exposure without drug specific concerns.
It seems to me that Thermo is the Magna of pharma and biotechs is that a fair comparison ?
As they produce all the products necessary and even produce drugs in small batches for some pharma companies.

Q: Hi, I sold GUD awhile for tax loss, and will sell WELL also for tax loss. It is my only stock in that sector 4%. My question is whether to buy back all in 30 days, change to another company after my sale, or purchase two stock for the Heath sector (Canadian market). I have no problems with risk with good management.
Could you name the two or three health companies you might prefer, thanks
