Q: Hi
Are you familiar with Treasury Wine Estates (Australian) and if so could you offer any opinion on them. They are trying to position themselves in the higher end segment in the US specifically. I expect this is to overcome the issues/interference they've encountered with sales / expansion in China.
Thanks for any opinion even if it is "Nope never heard of 'em".
Make question public if you see fit.

Q: Hi 5i
I'm currently overweight Tech (according to PA) but not overly concerned about it. In order to free up some cash which of QCOM and CSCO would you reduce first/eliminate completely ? The purpose being to have ready funds for bulking up smaller positions in other sectors before year end (maybe).
Do nothing is always an option as well as each have their merits.
Thanks

Q: In an answer to a recent question on Market Call on Ensign Energy Services the guest stated that ESI will have free cash flow of $200 million this year which works out to be half of its market cap of about $400 million. This seems to be a pretty good situation but I feel that I must be missing something here. What is the debt and is it a concern, Is new drilling likely to gain traction over the next couple of years. What do insiders hold and are they buying. Do you have any ideas on why this stock has not really done much over the last few years.. Thanks.

Q: Could you please discuss the significance of the following:
American Express announces it has selected Nuvei Corporation as its first acquirer authorised to promote and sell PwBt's Open Banking-enabled payment method.
I realize this is only for the UK but could you please explain what this might mean going forward for other geographic areas the 2 companies operate in. In other words, is this the start of a partnership that might provide strong tailwinds for Nuvei.
