Q: ABBV is mentioned and recommended frequently in the 5I questions. I have heard that Humira is its strongest asset; is that the case? A BNN guest the other day referred to Humira coming off patent in 2023; does this affect its long term prospects? The company has a very healthy dividend, especially for a US entity; is this sustainable in the long term? Any other comments about ABBV? Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: Hello Folks:
No one can predict markets, however with the S&P and Dow close to records I would think upside less likely than downside.
Consequently we have sold Deere and Cat at good profit as their PE ratios make it difficult understanding where much upside can be achieved.

We have a 7% position with Amazon, In your view would you keep this position or sell one half on the basis of being able to replace at a much lower future downturn price, or would you leave it alone.

Do you feel because of these inflated PE ratios one should raise some cash for a future downturn?

I am always am aware of the old adage that one's stock portfolio is like a bar of soap; the more you rub it the smaller it gets.

Thanks again for your great service
