Q: Hi 5i Team,

I am looking at APTX Aptinyx Inc., a Biopharmaueutical Co., and am thinking to initiate a small position of it.

They are still losing money and did a financing at 3.00 in mid January, but share jumped up to 4.60 already last Friday.

What is your thought and outlook of this company? Is it still speculative ?

Always thank you for your professional advice.

Q: Hi 5i
Recent takeovers have left me with uninvested funds. I'm looking to re-invest that cash into income generating (US stocks preferably) undervalued positions providing 3 - 5 % dividends.
What would you suggest I have a look at ?
Also, PA shows that I'm light on utilities and telecoms but the suggestions don't need to be limited to these sectors.
Thanks
Mike
