Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
SAN has been on a positive run this year hitting a new high. I know you do not follow European Banks. However any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Apparently they are selling their Polish Bank. So do you think all the good news has been baked in? Do you think it has any more up side or will it plateau soon and maybe retreat? Thanks for your insights!

Q: hi 5i,
I have the above 4 in my TFSA. I am considering selling ATZ ( due to tariff concerns vis a vis Aritzia manufacturing in China/Vietnam/etc. ). I own ATZ in another account and will keep it there. I would deploy the proceeds of a potential ATZ sell in the TFSA to the other 3 remaining equities, or perhaps to another equity if you have any other better suggestions currently ( CDN equities only please ). cheers and thanks, Chris

Q: It is sometimes unclear who actually composes some of the posts on the 5i Blog page. The latest “Rockets and Duds” posted April 28 just as an example has Chris White’s name at the top but Peter’s signature at the end. If Peter’s signature is there does it mean that he wrote it?

Q: Seeking your guidance and insight on my poor investment made in Dow Inc. I made to increase exposure in materials back in March 2022. I'm sadly down 50% in my registered account on DOW. I’m weighing whether to hold long-term or if this might be a permanent value trap and loss? The stock offers a high dividend, but I’m concerned about the risk of a potential cut. (classic) Since it’s in a registered account, I can’t write off the loss. Could you share your thoughts on continuing to hold through an entire cycle and the outlook over 2-5 years and any strategic considerations for my situation? Do I book the loss or hold on that their situation improves in due time. Much appreciated.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I have read that some analysts are predicting a 90% chance of an economic slow down or some type of recession later this year. If this were to occur how do you think it would effect large European banks or insurance companies in general? Thanks for your insights...they always help!
