Q: Hi Peter, I've taken some comfort despite my loss on BDX shares because some commentators have pointed out that their products (joint replacements) will soon benefit from the pent-up demand due to Covid-caused delays in such surgeries. However, Stryker, which is in a similar business, has significantly outperformed BDX both before and after Covid. In other words, do you know why BDX is so underperforming SYK, and would you hang onto (or perhaps add to) BDX at this point? Thank you.

Q: hello 5i:
we hold MRK in our portfolio, and have been notified of the allotment, as of 2 June, of shares of Organon. Can you discuss how you will see MRK shares being affected and whether or not you think the new Organon shares will have opportunities in the future that MRK did not have. Said another way, do you see this as beneficial to existing shareholder and does the new company hold some promise. CSU and TOI come to mind
thanks

Q: Greetings,

I have 4% cash currently and would consider short term opportunities. With a new competing bid IPL is trading below the offer price. Do you see an opportunity here to purchase IPL and hold for the sale and possible counter offer? Or is the difference more related to the half cash half PPL stock offer which will be more volitile? Hence risk. I appreciate your insite.

Cheers!
