Q: Hi 5i,

Thank you for the great work. My experience grocery shopping this weekend is that the stores are busier than ever.

Is it to simplistic to look at the current virus volatility as an opportunity to add to positions in the grocery companies?

Currently I have existing positions in Empire and Metro.

Thank you in advance.
