Q: Hi there,
DSG has quietly reached all time highs. I am concerned that the stock is ahead of its growth profile and earnings. It has always been expensive but i have it showing at 88X current earnings. Your thoughts on this one?
Cheers

Q: Peter and Team:

After a year or so I am sitting even on CXI. I have been pleased with the recent run, and was surprised to see it downgraded in your report. I hope this doesn't result in a significant share price drop as we have seen in the past (how does it feel to be a market mover).

Anyhow I was wondering what you would think about a move to GC. There has been a really good run as of late (I was looking @ $32) but hopefully this is just the start. Your article on CSU was great and helps put things in perspective.

Thanks for all you do

Q: Mr. Hodson, in light of your confidence in GUD, which is now at $8.12, would you advise
loading up on the stock if one can do so right now ? GUD issued stock at $10 in the past, so adding more at this time would seem a good deal. Makes sense, or do you have
reservations in this regard ?
