Q: Hi Peter & the 5i Team,

In your recent answer to Stephen, you stated that Boyd is in the Industrial Sector of the TSE. Actually, it's in the Consumer Discretionary Sector, as indicated on the TMX website and 5i's Portfolio Analytics.

If one wanted to sell BYD but remain in the Consumer Discretionary Sector, what would be your three best Canadian stocks to consider?

Thanks as always for your assistance.

Q: Long time holder of BYD. Currently have BYD at 1.9% and CPRT at 1%. CPRT has really outperformed BYD over many timeframes. BYD is consumer cycl. and CPRT is industrial. I'm up 20% on BYD and 39% on CPRT. BYD has been a frustrating stock over the past few years but CPRT has shown resiliency and stable compounding growth. Thoughts on the BYD earnings and both companies going forward? Continue to hold both or I was thinking of selling BYD and adding to my CPRT. Thoughts? Thanks!

This stock has been painful to own over the last couple of years so not sure if this is a needle mover or more consistent w/ their past performance.

Didn't seem like a big catalyst.....
