Q: Vaccine developers are something like the Klondike goldrush, numerous companies are hoping to discover the vaccine for this virus and that would make them the next Shopify. I read a lot and especially on US sites. A few companies surfaced recently which could possibly be the next gold discovery (vaccine) which are ARCT, NVAX, DVAX, IBIO and GOVX. Do you recognize any of these and think they could be the next big stock winners in providing a vaccine for the epidemic?

Q: Hi 5i,

I'm concerned with all the sabre rattling leading to a US/China trade war. Of particular concern are American companies that are needing China as the engine for growth. 1. Do you think this is a valid concern? 2. Would you position your portfolio more domestically/defensively for a trade war? 3. What would be some good alternatives to these three companies that are more domestic (or Western) centric for growth?

TIA!

Q: I currently hold GUARDANT, ALTERYX and ROKU in one account. As a basket they collectively just can’t seem to stay above water. Are you still optimistic on these names or has your opinion changed? Should I remain patient or would you swap any for VEEV?

Q: Bloomberg Businessweek of May 4, 2020 has an article "Tock to Go Brings Fine Dining To the Socially Distant" in which mentioned that Tock is a comprehensive platform built to fundamentally change the way restaurants think about and run their business. This includes a robust reservation, guest, and table management system for restaurants of all sizes across the globe. It sounds a very powerful platform for the industry mentioned. I am not sure if Tock has a stock. If it does, will it be a competitor to LSDP?

Thank you as always for helping us navigating through this crazy time.

Q: Hi : What's your view on Monster Beverage? It screens well (based on pre-CoVid data) but I am unsure how its business will be affected by the CoVid situation. Are there other companies in the same space that you like better?

Thanks for your insight,

Q: San Diego small cap Sorrento Therapeutics stock exploded on Friday. Sorrento said it's STI-1499 antibody demonstrated 100% inhibition of the COVID-19 virus infection of healthy cells in pre-clinical trials. The company advised full results of the experiment will soon be submitted to a "peer-reviewed publication." A week ago they announced an agreement to work with Mount Sinai Health System on a phase one clinical trial of the retained plasma of 15000 covid patients commencing in Q3.
The company appears to be claiming that STI-1499 at the pre-clinical stage is a cure which they plan to develop as a stand alone treatment as well as the 1st part of an antibody cocktail treatment which they are developing in cooperation with Mount Sinai for the same purpose.
Generally speaking I am an investor, not a gambler but am interested in your views/comments on this company and it's financial situation, which is why I mention the word "gamble". Would you invest/gamble ? on this co. at this stage or sit back and wait for further confirmation of test results.
