Q: May I please get your thoughts on Peabody Energy (BTU). They had a decent quarter given the drop off in coal prices at the start of this year. They are buying back a lot of stock. Can I also get your general thoughts on coal (both thermal and metallurgical). Are there standards for regional coal prices (like WTI, WCS, and Brent for oil)? Thank you.

Q: Morning 5i team,
I bough URI back in May 2023 and have done quite well over a short period of time. It's close to it's all time high and although it might have some more upside potential, it may be limited.
I'm thinking of switching from URI to AMZN for a possible better return.
What are your thoughts on the switch or should I stay the course or would you suggest a different stock to switch to.
I currently hold AAPL, GOOG, MSFT and NVDA in that account.
Your thoughts and reasons for your suggestions are appreciated.

Have a great day.

Joe

Q: It seems the outlook for Uber is changing positively. Although I don't think it can be placed in the same rarefied space as GOOG, AMZN etc in the technology space, do you see it as getting to occupy the same space in the next 5 to 7 years (my time frame before drawing down).
Please briefly give your bull case and bear case for this tech co
