Q: Hello Team 5i & Everyone!

I occasionally listen to Lance Robert's posts. Today was one of those days and anyone worried about the software sector may find part of this video interesting to watch. He answers a question from his audience about A.I. and the sell off in software stocks at the 15 minute mark approximately.

Q: One of the factors I consider when comparing companies is Debt/Equity. 5i lists SLF as 7.16 and POW as 0.05. Could you please rationalize this difference for me.
Do you have a preference?

Q: Hi,

Hopefully this question is general enough to not be considered personal advice!

I've done very well with Zedcor and Kraken (thank you!). You often mention their high valuations. I wouldn't mind taking some profits to put elsewhere.

Given the recent sharp decline (especially Kraken), would you say it's still richly valued enough to sell a bit? Or might it be better to wait for a rebound, given its volatility?

Q: I have owned this for a few years now. I had to be patient but you seemed to hold it in favour throughout.

I thought my patience was rewarded with good growth in 2025, but over the past few months, it has lost all that growth.

Can you explain what has been going on?

I'm also low in healthcare in my portfolio. This seems like a good time to redress that. What would be your top three buys for a long term holding? Do you generally prefer companies or ETFs for this sector?

Thanks for all the great work you provide. I was happy to renew recently.
