Q: In my opinion the U.S. China trade relations will soon improve. One reason being Trump does not want to go into an election without the economy firing on all cylinders. Can you suggest a stock that will benefit from the easing of trade barriers.

Q: The Surge Energy share price is now struggling to stay above $1.00. Please comment on the implications of a company's share price declining below this threshold. Once it does, do certain institutional investors (mutual funds, ETFs, pension funds, etc) have to divest their holdings? If so, does this mean that the overall demand for the shares will drop significantly?

Q: I was watching BNN last night and they had Asian correspondents on talking about Cathay Pacific and all of the challenges they are having with earnings amid the unrest. My thesis (and what I would like you to comment on) is whether this might not be a time to buy into a company facing headwinds that are beyond its control but priced into the stock? I love flying on the airline and hope you can comment on the stock.

Q: Hello,
Hello 5i Team,
With several recent announcements about U.S. tech companies soon offering a variety of payment or financial transaction options, do you see the future prospects for Square beginning to wane? Might TTD or GH be a better high-growth U.S. play?

Thanks.

Q: Hi,

I'm sitting with a 15% gain in Parklawn. I believe I bought on advice read hear so thank you. My question is whether it should continue to be held in a balanced portfolio or if you would exit a 5% position because a better opportunity exists elsewhere? To go one step further, I have done well on Medtronic and might like additional exposure to US healthcare. Could you recommend a) whether to sell PLC and b) what you might shift to if you agree with my alternative above?

Q: Just wondering what the expectations are for AYX next quarter. Looking at the past few quarters, the year over year comparison is going to be tough, given that last year's revenues almost doubled; December 2018. I never did figure out how much of this is related to changes in accounting standards for recognizing revenue. Any comments appreciated.
