Q: Hi,

Congrats on the web site update! Makes it easier to navigate for sure especially when looking up company data.
Of the recent IPO's listed above, do you have a preference for one or the other or obtain a starter position in all 3? Or a different one all together?
Also, can you pls confirm the considerable drop in revenue as seen on the Company data for ABCL....or is this an error? I normally only invest in a company whose YoY growth/revenue is trending upwards...so this is a bit of a caution flag if I were to invest in ABCL.

Cheers,
SteveMc

Q: Hi 5i team,

Further to Dave’s question on Jan 22/21, can you please add ClearField Inc (CLFD) to your database.
The recent quarter appeared to handily beat again, can they continue their impressive growth rates going forward and specifically, post pandemic? Would you start an initial (⅓) position? Is there anything concerning in their financials (P/E, etc) that would make you cautious? The Q2 release mentioned possible supply chain issues in the near term, is this concerning to you?
Given the higher Cdn $ these days it seems like a good time to buy some US stocks.

My other choice is Abcellera (ABCL) which has fallen quite a bit in the last 3 months. Any specific reason for the decline other than vaccines are more widely available/distributed.? Any preference between these two? I don’t own either stock currently.

Appreciate the work the team does!!
Steve

Q: Second question today, I took about a 3% position in this stock for a long term hold, far from the top but still down significantly. March has been volatile and really trending down in recent days. I cannot see any negative news but with earnings coming out on Monday is this a bad news indication or just market impact? Do you continue to like the company's growth prospects? Thank you.

Thanks John

Q: I see ABCL is taking it on the chin today down 12% as I type this question. Since about January 1, 2021 I have been considering selling my NVTA and putting the money in ABCL but have done nothing to date. (Procrastination is sometimes the key to success)! NVTA weighting is 1.5%. 2 Questions...
Do you think ABCL has better long term prospects than NVTA and would you be interested in ABCL at +/- $31.50 USD? Or do you think I should use the basket approach and hold both?
Thanks,
Jim
