Q: I have a question about 932
Hello 5i:
in response to a question on MG/LNR, in, I believe August, you said "MG has a solid balance sheet and a very cheap valuation. Recent earnings were solid and we would consider the sector fairly attractive right now overall." From everything I can read, it appears that LNR has a substantially lower valuation than MG. Am I missing something?
Can you elaborate on LNR, and discuss why you think MG has a lower valuation.
thanks

Q: Hello; You have spoken favorably about SIA in previous commentary; My concern is about valuation and its vulnerability in an increasing rate environment. Can you comment about SIA's stock price relative to operational cash flow. I suspect it is in the 15 to 20 range which seems very high. Thanks for your great service.

Q: I am a little confused by your answer to Richard's question yesterday about HCG. On the one hand, you still consider HCG a good long term investment, while on the other hand, you said that you took it out of the Balanced Portfolio on short term prospects. I had thought that your advice was based on long term investing, not short term trading. I would appreciate your clarification.

Thanks,

Q: Hi there,

I had two questions. The first one would is on Sleep Country - I noticed that has come off it's highs of around $33ish. Do you think today's price would be a good entry point or will it continue a down trend with profit taking etc?

My second question is on the Balanced Equity portfolio. I have been following your updates and stock selections and started out with a 5% weighting or so in each name. What is the best way to deploy any new funds if I wanted to follow the balanced model? A real world example of this would be if I contribute money into my TSFA next year, what would be the best way to deploy this new cash into the BE Portfolio? Should I divide up the contribution amongst several names? Hold it in cash and wait until you have added a new name to the portfolio and then deploy it? Is there a recommended approach to this?

Thanks!
