Q: What is your view on the announcement by EIF regarding the loss of North West as a client? The announcement said the effect on the bottom line is only about $1 million, which is so immaterial.

Also, is this piece of business development what the shorts are basing their recent incessant attack of the EIF SP? If so, can we expect a much appreciated short squeeze on Monday?

You insight is much appreciated as always.

Q: This is basically just an opinion but I think that last week the action with CRH was an example of what you really mean by volatility. The the 5 to 10% that happens some days for no good, obvious reason are to be expected in a growth portfolio and are just a healthy fluctuation in a share price. Such fluctuations actually strengthen the stock. Comment ?
Thanks for your support

Q: In March and February your comments about this company were generally positive. Yet just recently you said that this company was the most likely candidate to be booted out of the balanced equity portfolio. Sounds like you views have changed in the past four weeks. Can you explain the apparent shift in your position please. Thx.
