Q: Hello, SPRY is a company developing an alternative treatment for anaphylaxis treatment. I am wondering about the team's thoughts on its current valuation and if it seems reasonable given the company's prospects. Also given favorable inflation data continuing, could this small-cap have good price appreciation potential with lowering interest rates?
Thank you.

Q: YAMCF is Yamaha and was recommended recently on Market Call. I have been watching and it seems to be doing fairly well. It also has another name YAMHF still representing Yamaha. Can you give me your take on Yamaha. SMR was one you had talked about some time ago and is on my 5i Watchlist. It has dropped off considerably. Would you have an update on it?

Q: Dear Peter et al:

I know from your answers that you like VRT. I am down by about 8%. Not too worried. Willing to hold on to this.

The question is two fold:

1. I look at Finviz screener (freebie version!) and the Debt: Equity ratio and LT Debt is high? 2.25 it says. What does it mean? Indicates risk?

2. Worth adding to VRT as it has pulled back or do you think there is more downside drift to come given the sector rotation is now firmly in place?

3. Offers a decent premium and to my earlier question sometime ago you had recommended this as a candidate for writing call options. Do you still hold that view?

Many thanks in advance.

Q: Hi 5i Research team,

I have a brokerage account where I get Analyst Rating change Notice about the stocks I hold. One of my holding is GOOGL:Q and today there was an analyst rating change from Mizuho Securities for the current price target to US$205 from previous price target of US$295. Normally this kind of downgrading gives weakness in stock price.

My question is "do this kind of large price decrease targets are normal and do these people have inside information what normal investor have no clue"?

Your thoughts about the company will be appreciated.
