Q: I see the rolling banner on BNN/Bloomberg is reporting that the CEO & CFO have resigned in a Management overhaul. Do you think this increases the odds of a sale of the company?
Will it help stop the bleeding?
Thanks,
Scot

Q: This morning I asked a question regarding MG where I stated that I had a 1/4 position. I believe your interpretation was that MG comprises 25% of my portfolio, whereas I meant that I have 1/4 of a "full" position. I consider a full position to be 5% of my portfolio. So MG comprises only 1.25% of my total portfolio. So I am interested in your opinion on selling all my MG shares now and employing the funds to good use elsewhere.
Also, I want to compliment you on your very quick response to my question.

What do you think about freshii, it’s bouncing off all time lows but it’s quarter seemed to turn in the right direction.

Q: Prices are down quite a bit from their highs.
Do you think one of the reasons for the decline is a switch by some investors from growth to value?
If so and faced with higher interest rates in the future it might time for you to consider starting a value equity model portfolio
