Q: Hi my question today is on REITs. I started to buy these three reits as they are under .9 tb ratio. value. Because of there much lower price the dividend is awesome. This pandemic is the reason for there price reduction. Are they over sold and probably the next sector (industrial reit) to bounce back ? The people that are renting there property ex;Walmart are doing ok. If not a good time to buy when is ?

Q: Have you changed your opinion of this company? It wasn't too long ago when 5i was recommending purchasing the company at $39, yet now you are saying that $50 is a long way away. I know that times may have changed, but many of the Tech stocks are hitting all time highs, and with LSPD having enough cash to last 12 years or more, isn't the current price a very good price vs. fair value?

Q: Over the years I have down very well with Crew and at one point sold it at its all time high of $20.
I started acquiring a new position last year and bought all the way down to below0.20.
I asked your opinion in height of the March fear and gutting of oil prices. You stated with its debt it may not survive and that you would not want to own it. This spooked me so I took your advice and sold at a significant loss. Since that time it is up over 70%! Did you get this wrong?? Has your view of Crew changed? What is your view of the upside for oil from here?

Q: With an outlook that there is substantially more downside risk than upside potential in the markets, does it make sense to set up some pairs trades to reduce market risk. I don't short stocks, so I was thinking to use bull and bear ETF's. I had in mind (1) long NASDAQ (QQQ) / short Russell (RWM) and (2) long Investment Grade Bonds (LQD) / short High Yield (SJB). First of all, what do you think of the strategy and second, do my selections seems reasonable? Thanks for your valued advice.

Q: LSPD's business is focussed on small-medium sized retailers, restaurants and the hospitality industry. These are amongst the worst sectors in the economy and may be permanently impaired. Does this not change the investing thesis for LSPD? Is this not a case of sell now and consider buying at a potentially higher price down the road if they can confirm that growth has returned or at least stabilized?
