      Top 5 Burning Questions on Gilead Sciences 
  Image Source: Gilead Lab. We felt answers to a few burning questions pertaining to the abysmal first-quarter 2018 earnings release by Gilead Sciences would be of value to our readers. We are not in the least bit impressed by the earnings print, but we feel patience may be well rewarded. The Questions: 1. When will the decline in the Hepatitis C franchise abate? 2. Which new product will drive future revenue growth? 3. Will Cytokine Release Syndrome sink the potential of Yescarta? 4. How durable is Gilead's HIV franchise? 5. What else is in Gilead's pipeline?

      The Dividend Cushion Meets the Dividend Aristocrats 
  We showcase the Dividend Cushion ratios for the Dividend Aristocrats, a grouping of firms that have increased their dividends for more than 20 consecutive years.

      Dividend Highlights in Big Pharma 
  The first quarter of 2018 will go down in the record books as one of the most volatile in recent memory--a sharp jump out of the gate was met with significant selling at the end of March as numerous political and economic worries entered the picture. We believe a timely review of some of the dividend stalwarts is in order. Mar 22, 2018
     
        
      AbbVie’s Product Concentration Risk Intensifies; Shares Yield ~3.9% 
  AbbVie will not seek accelerated approval for what had been expected to be its next blockbuster drug, Rova-T, which had been investigated for third-line relapsed/refractory small cell lung cancer. The market is reacting negatively to the disappointment. Mar 12, 2018
     
        
      The "Luck" and "Randomness" of Index Funds 
  If the year-to-year performance of active funds relative to index funds can be considered “random,” so then is the year-to-year performance of index funds relative to active funds, regardless of fees and expenses. Image shown: page 1 of 14. Mar 6, 2018
     
        
      Updating Our Thoughts on Celgene

Although the combination of disruptive new discoveries coupled with burgeoning demand thanks to the aging demographics of the world’s population sets the biotech space for a potential virtuous long-term cycle, we’re not too happy with with the recent developments at Celgene.

      A Key Inflection Point for Gilead Sciences 
  Image Source: Gilead. We have closely followed events at Gilead Sciences for signs of an inflection point as we have long felt the market is myopically focused on the Hepatitis C franchise instead of cash flows. Our decision to add the idea to the simulated Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio and simulated Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio has played out very well as the share price remains locked in an uptrend. We are updating our thesis following the recent conference call. Feb 18, 2018

"Though we largely achieved the Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio’s goals in advancing the newsletter portfolio each publication year (ends December 15) and achieving relative outperformance and risk-adjusted superiority to the benchmark, we may have done even better had our equity allocation been full during the measurement period." -- Brian Nelson, CFA
