Q: Hello,
Im wondering What you think of these two companies now that they have come down significantly in price. Do you see it as an opportunity to slowly wade in or stay on sidelines.
Do you believe they will survive this crisis? Do they have high debt level?

Thank you

thanks

Q: I'd appreciate your take on Premier Health which no analyst seems to cover. I discovered it while searching for other publicly-traded companies that use OSCAR as a platform for their electronic medical record (EMR) offerings.

WELL Health has been very clear that they are in the hunt for OSCAR-related assets - it so happens that PHGI has three of them (JunoEMR, KindredEHR and ClinicAid). They also have a couple of other assets that WELL would like to have or planning to develop (e.g. 4 clinics, a patient portal, telemedicine, a medical billing app, 2 pharmacies, interactive kiosks, etc.).

Q: Hello,
From my observed reduction of the availability of family doctors, and subsequent basic health care, for some/many? segments of the Canadian population I see the emergence of different schemes of virtual, remote, telephone, etc services. Outside of the public funded/regulated scope this appears to be a fragmented industry ripe for some form of consolidation. Are you aware of any blue chip type companies making any moves either in Canada or elsewhere to fill this growing gap?

Thank you for your always refreshing feedback.

Q: I'm having trouble with the high valuations of some of today's star stocks. On top of that, and as illogical as it is, I have trouble investing in the these stocks after they have run so far. What 2 or 3 stocks are you guys watching at this time that are at beginning stages but have the potential to turn into stars like shopify
Thx

Q: On several occasions when responding to questions about WELL you mention risk - an excellent point as it is a relatively small company. 

But in comparison to many other smaller companies there are important aspects that in my mind mitigate the risk somewhat. For example:

- the quality and reputation of management and its obvious ability to attract investors

- founded first and foremost on the ownership of health clinics (relatively stable recurring revenue, insulated somewhat from recessions)

- disciplined/focused in its choice of foundational corporate software platform (i.e. OSCAR).  OSCAR is open source and free of royalties - think of RedHat's success.  OSCAR is its singular software focus - think Westjet and the cost savings by limiting maintenance to only one type of  aircraft. And then the cost/effort when it comes to adding new functionality (e.g. telemedicine) to your product like all software products must do. 

None of this guarantees unqualified success in the marketplace of course but what additional risks should an investor in WELL consider?   Thank you.

Q: Good Morning:
In a well diversified portfolio I have above "growth" stocks at 1.5-2.5% weighting in my TFSA. They've all performed the same either slightly down or flat and was wondering if you would add to, hold or sell any of these for long term hold.
Thanks For any advice.
