Q: Hi 5i,
The after hours trading (Feb 28th) on SRPT was ugly following their report. A big miss on expectations but they were expected to lose money and I can’t tell what the expectations themselves might have been based on. I know you may not be overly familiar, as it is a US stock, but can you help size it up? I'm wondering if it is real trouble or maybe an over-reaction opportunity once things settle down a bit. Thanks!

Q: I have done well on EBIX getting in around $20, I know you follow the company and its been having a good day today. Do you think valuations are getting stretched here and its time to sell? Its still less than 5% weighting in my portfolio.
