Q: Hi 5i - I understand that WELL is a provider of OSCAR electronic medical records, with this open source software originally developed by McMaster University. Today I see that Alphabet is filing for a new IPO, OSCAR Health which aims to cash in on the surge for digital health services. Is there any connection between WELL and Alphabet on this or perhaps it's Alphabet tapping into the OSCAR open source software?

Q: I have WELL thanks to 5I bringing it to my attention but
there is one thing I really do not understand.
WELL has payed a premium of over 80% for CRH.

For many years, CRH has been struggling not been doing well (no pun intended).
5I Research has said in every commentary that it would SELL CRH and "not need to own"!
For WELL to buy a struggling company at an 80% premium, how can this
be a good deal?

Thanks and I am very interested to your response.

Q: I'm looking to add a new holding in the healthcare sector, and am currently looking at either WELL or PTQ, for a smaller cap stock. Currently, I only have Stryker (SYK) and Amgen (AMGN) in the healthcare sector. Which of either WELL or PTQ would you prefer for more significant growth potential over 3-5 years, with moderate risk. Please provide a rationale for your preference. Thanks!

Q: Hi,
Could you comment on my profolio for a 5 year hold? Should I add/remove/replace any of the stocks?
Also, Cathie Wood said she is expecting a drop of the market this year. However I currently have ZERO cash position. Do you think I should trim my profolio to have some cash? If yes how much percent do you recommend?
Thanks!

Q: I am looking into opening/growing a position into a Canadian growth stock, I already have LSPD at around 6% of my portfolio. I have been debating as to whether I should increase my position in LSPD or open up a new position in a company like WELL, is there also any other Canadian growth companies that you guys are favouring during this time?
Thank you,
