Investment Q&A

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

Q: On several occasions when responding to questions about WELL you mention risk - an excellent point as it is a relatively small company. 

But in comparison to many other smaller companies there are important aspects that in my mind mitigate the risk somewhat. For example:

- the quality and reputation of management and its obvious ability to attract investors

- founded first and foremost on the ownership of health clinics (relatively stable recurring revenue, insulated somewhat from recessions)

- disciplined/focused in its choice of foundational corporate software platform (i.e. OSCAR).  OSCAR is open source and free of royalties - think of RedHat's success.  OSCAR is its singular software focus - think Westjet and the cost savings by limiting maintenance to only one type of  aircraft. And then the cost/effort when it comes to adding new functionality (e.g. telemedicine) to your product like all software products must do. 

None of this guarantees unqualified success in the marketplace of course but what additional risks should an investor in WELL consider?   Thank you.

If you could give me two suggestions either from my list or if you have a choice of your own that may have better potential.

I really appreciate your advice in this question section. It has help me on many occasions in making a better informed decision when purchasing the stock.

Q: Hey,

I came across ISH.CN, Inner Spirit Holdings. They are a penny stock right now. They seem to want to be the Circle K (formerly Macs) of Pot.

I was thinking of adding to this and holding on for 5-years. Would be interesting to see if they can actually grow and be profitable.

Revenue seems to be growing.

What do you think?

Q: I have small positions in these companies and they are down by about 50%.
Are the dividends secure in your opinion? I am just deciding to add or sell. Do you think there might be a turn around in this sector over the next year?
