Q: Hi there, in a recent question you mentioned that 'owning insurance companies provides a bit more protection from higher interest rates.'

Please suggest a couple of US insurance companies that you'd consider for this purpose and which one you'd choose and why.

thanks a bunch, M

Q: What are your thoughts on MSFT, specifically their cloud computing sector of their business? I would assume that in the long run, eventually every company will be operating on the cloud. Seems like it's AMZN, MSFT and GOOG as the big 3. Does anything have a competitive advantage in this space at this time?
Thanks for all your great insights.

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
I've learned that sector reallocations can sometimes be cured by changing your allocation % to sectors or by moving a hybrid company from one sector to another. Having said that what would you say a proper allocation between technology and consumer discretionary is for Amazon?
thanks for all you do

Q: I was looking at a list of your past picks that haven't been mentioned for awhile but they seem to be doing quite well. In fact, they have as good a track record as some of the US stocks you mentioned recently. Mastercard which I own is under water over the past year, I am thinking of selling it and the above 2 look like good replacements. Preferably, ZS. Do you still pay attention to these 2?

Thanks as always to you and your staff.

Q: Hi. I'd like your opinion on SHAK as a long term investment. With its strong brand and small(ish) number of locations, over the next 5 years do you think they can deliver similar/better/worse revenue and eps growth numbers that LULU and CMG achieved over the past 5 years. Thanks a lot.

Q: Would you be able to provide a grading for the following stocks as you currently have for CND companies in the Report section? Would appreciate your thoughts, +A through E for the selected companies.

Any chance you’ll be adding US companies to the Reports one day?

Thanks

Q: Hello Peter, Ryan and 5i Team,

I have held a small position in Crawford for a number of years, mainly for its dividend, low price/volatility, and as a hedge for extreme weather impacts due to climatic change. It tends to do well when there are events that trigger large volumes of insurance claims, as insurance companies can't handle enough claims with in-house staff and then outsource to Crawford & Co. Can I please get your take on this investment thesis and the company? Do you think it's a reasonable hold or do you have a better suggestion in the sector. Thank you.
