Q: Hello, can you please provide your feedback on VNET? Will the latest stimulus moves by their government continue to propel this stock; they had good Q2 earnings. VNET have been up significantly over the last year. I'm unsure if I should continue to hold over the next few months. Thanks.

Q: Trane has done exceedingly well over the past couple of years. I assume this has been due to outfitting data centers, increased need for air conditioning commercially and residentially and tech advances in their products. Do you still a good runway for growth and does the share price fairly reflect its value?

Appreciate your insight.
