Q: I've been a thankful investor and long time fan of Magna but it's had many small problems and now maybe a big one if Tesla's startling production innovations and in-house sourcing policy are correctly reported onYou Tube. MG's strong point has also been innovation but Tesla is setting a fast pace and reportedly already miles ahead, maybe to the point of sustainable market dominance. Magna is $57.00 off it's high -is it worth switching to Tesla or do you see a Magna rebound? I can handle volatility in a five year time frame.

Q: Everyone, interest rates move in a wave pattern. When the Fed wants to reduce inflation they increase the interest rate and when inflation declines to their range of near 2% they reduce the Fed rate. This past year - ish the Fed has significantly increased the rate from near zero and recently they have slowed the rate increases. Soon they will stop the increases, then no increases and then reduce the interest rate. The time frame of the holding pattern and declines is dependent on inflation. What does that mean in general for the economy and more specifically for the technology sector. Clayton

Q: Nvidia has quickly become 5% of my portfolio. I love the firm but it's been a meteoric recovery. In 2-3 years do you see it higher or is it time to take some off the table? Same question for WSP which has doubled for me now representing 4.68%

I know allocations are personal - just looking for how you manage your winners. I typically have a 6% max threshold on any one stock.

Q: Generic question: according to one money manager, a number of stocks are now being priced at “zero” …. clearly not zero , but well below traditional metrics for evaluating stocks.( FRC the most obvious example)

AND also arguing that this has not happened since 2008.

As always I am interested in the 5i perspective, please and thank you.

And can you think of stocks that fall into that category?

Q: Just a follow up to my prior question. I was under the impression that Kxs is very expensive . Can you please give me an idea of whether you would consider if it was or not and what the numbers tell you.

Also, when you answer questions about stocks to buy you rarely mention TRI. This stock also has done amazingly well this 12 months +15%. How do you rate TRI as a buy at these prices and compared to other stocks you like?

Thanks
