Q: What do you think of Twitter? The platform, for better or worse, has become one of the main ways in which people get their news. Trump can't seem to leave the app despite publicly criticizing it and its founder. Despite this, the stock hasn't exploded in price like other social media platforms e.g. Facebook. I assume this is because a lack of profitability. What do you think of the long term prospects? Good buy for exposure into social media and technology? Bad idea if you already have a lot in Facebook?

Q: I am looking for some guidelines on when one should trim a position exceeding 5% of your holdings. I have a 7.3% a 6.3%, a 5.6%, a 7.0%, a 7.5%, and a 6.2%. 4 of these I have already trimmed some time ago. Is trimming more of a gut reaction or do you have something more concrete to guide you? Combined with this problem, when you do decide to trim, what (and why) % do you trim down to?
I have this problem, mainly, by following your excellent advice.
Your thoughts will be much appreciated. ram

Q: Housing Boom, in USA as people want to leave City Centres due to violence and riots. I notice four lumber companies WFT, CFP, IFP ,ADN all hit new highs on August 14th WFT had a high of $ 90.00 in the past years and the other companies mentioned are far from their past highs . Lumber is at $ 729.00 up from $ 400.00 there must be still a lot of upside in these shares.

Do you agree & which would you recommend ? RAK

Q: July 10 2019 you gave the following opinion on EDG100
"We are generally not huge fans of mutual funds for their higher fees, but EDG100 is an exception that has consistently justified the higher fees through its performance. We would be fine keeping it."
1) Just wondering what your thoughts are on this mutual fund today and are the high fee still justified by it performance?
2) What alternative that operate in the same space would you suggest looking into?

Q: Thanks for your prompt reply to my question about earnings. I only wish that their revenue was $419.6M because the SP would have been up tenfold today. But you better remove the 4 and bring them back to $19.6M. Keep up the great work.
