Q: Regarding Guardiant Health Care which I am typing out the full name as I'm getting a little tired of doing searches on Gamehost to see all the information.... In a a balanced but slightly leaning toward conservative portfolio how much weight should a speculative stock like this be ? I'm thinking on 3.3 % with no other stock quite in that risk factor....{ other than a 1.2% position in TSGI which is about to get the boot } .

Q: This seems to be a reasonably good way to play the major healthcare industry. I am not sure how the covered call aspect of this ETF would play in a rising market, i.e. is it the same as the tech industry, where a covered call aspect would act as a drag on the performance. Your thoughts please.

Thanks, David

Q: Is it time to get rid of PFE. I've had this for years and done well but it's been on a downward trend for a while now. What was once a 45% gain has dwindled to 13%. This is starting to remind me of GE where you hang on hoping for a turn around and nothing but bad news keeps happening. Thinking of replacing it with CVS. Your opinion is greatly appreciated.
