Q: Hi Team,
These Tariff moves have gone from "not a big concern" to a major concern with anyone holding a growth portfolio. Currently I am down 23% from peak in short order since January, due to a higher concentration in Tech names and other growth names. An amazing fall considering I thought I was holding all solid names (such as NVDA. PRL, SHOP, TTD as examples) Do you view this as 2022 all over again? Or do you think the market will bottom sooner than it did in that year? Hard to say I know based on Trump saying that he no longer cares much about the market this go around. A much different tune that last term. However I suppose that could change overnight. I don't imagine Musk in enjoying Tsla's fall; perhaps that will end up in a clash with Trump on trade policies or hopefully talk some sense into him at the very least. Looking for your take on the current situation. Lastly, I assume that since major damage is already done would I be best to just hold the line at this point? Or sell out some growth names even at current levels? If buying new purchases what would be your top 3 names to add to at current levels?

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Your thoughts please on Caterpillar vs Deere for long-term growth, and generally how you would rate these as buy/hold/sell in the current environment. Id appreciate any comments where you expect growth will come from (eg mining automation/AI) and leverage. Thank you.

Q: How do you see the ATD stock reacting if they are able to buy the North American retail business of Seven & I? (initial reaction) And how do yo see it reacting if they cannot reach and agreement to purchase these assets? Does the U.S. SEC have to endorse the purchase?

Thanks for all your help? Mike

Q: Within each of their sectors, CPX and GSY seem to have suffered larger drops than their peers.

Can you comment on why they each have been so negatively impacted and provide your thoughts on whether you think they should be continued to be owned or do you have other preferences in these sectors, if one's goal is income and some growth.

Thank you
