Q: Hello Peter & Co,
(1) It seems to me that Air Boss would fit in the Industrials sector; does it?
(2) I have no exposure to the Patient Mobility business (Health); do you have a preference?
Thanks,

Q: Good Morning 5i Team:

I currently hold some IT, as I think it will perform well during a deflationary/recessionary time.

I have heard the issues AYA are having with the investigation.

What relationship do those AYA rumours have on IT? How do you feel about an investment in IT?

Thank you!

Q: Hi Team,

Would you go full position on Priceline today? Do you still believe in the company the way you did last year? Would it be worth biting the exchange bullet on this one when you have to buy every US dollar to purchase it? The holding period is 5+ year.

Thanks as always on your informed and prompt response.

Q: Hi Peter and team,

When you remove FM from a model portfolio, does that mean a sell for us even if we do not hold the same positions as the portfolio. Would you recommend swapping FM for another company in the sector (e.g HBM or LUN) or just getting out of the sector at this time?

Also, what's you take on PRW's survivability in the current environment?

Thanks for all you do for us.

BK

Q: Down around ~40% on Kelso & Questor in 8 month old's RESP. $1800 to use elsewhere if I sell.

Context is 3 RESP's 4 year old, 2 year old, 8 month hold, managed as single portfolio (new contributions annually). 14 Names held at relatively equal weights are KLS, QST, GUD, PHM, CXI, PSD, ADW, BNS, WEF, MCD, CSU, FFH, SU, ESL. Happy with all except maybe PSD is a bit of a dud lately given sector.

Sit tight on KLS & QST given investment horizon?
Sell and put into a little overweight in one of 12 names left?
Or sell and put into AirBoss or other 5i stock/ETF suggestion?

Q: Hi, When asked about DRT today you mentioned that the "growth rate is disappointing." Does this mean you don't recommend buying the stock now?

I own a half position. I had heard on BNN that this quarter wouldn't be great so planned to buy more to complete my position after it fell on the news. Is this still a good plan? Or are you suggesting that people wait to buy?

Thanks,
Carla

Q: This is a comment only I could have been much better off sticking to 5i portfolios and not worry about all other stocks.
Now I learned it hard way.
