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

Q: you recently suggested soxq as a reasonable investment in the semi space.
I looked at their listing and noticed that they are currently averaging less than 30,000 daily transactions. As you mentioned, their charges for both the balance of the year(zero) and only .17 points for the future seem to make this an attractive etf to invest in. Does the low amount of daily transactions affect your outlook.

Q: I know that abbivie is one of your favourites. But, I have been worried that .ABBV does not have a diverse product offering and is heavily reliant on one drug - Humira . I have also read that there is a rotation out of healthcare. I was wondering what were your thoughts on this problem? Wondering also, whether because of the rotation out of healthcare, whether this might be a good time to sell?
thanks

Q: Hello Peter & Ryan,
My wife would like to have your thoughts on EPAM & DAVA. She has some cash but only enough to buy either EPAM or DAVA. She wants to know which one do you prefer and why?

By-the-way there is still no response to my question on UFS submitted almost 2 days ago.

Your opinions are always valued (even if occasionally a little tardy)!
