Q: Hi Team,
The last couple days I am seeing a drastic sell off in oil producers, and what seems to be a rotation into investors buying up the most beat down tech names. Do you see this rotation continuing? Is it time to dump oil stocks and buy back into tech / growth names?

Q: Hi, Energy sector was creamed today with 5% decline on the top of 15-20% drop over past week. I also learnt from CNBC that many large investors are buying significant amount of September Puts. We trimmed 25% of our 10% Energy weighting, selling XLE, XEG,CNQ and TOU, mostly at market open. Do you believe , Energy sector could be range bound for near term and has further downside ? Would it be prudent to cut the sector weight to 5%, in General, without being specific to our portfolio ? Which companies would you reduce, in order of priority, among, CNQ, TOU and SU, based on balance sheets and possible further downside caused by Oil/Gas price and recession ? Thanks

Q: Hi, With recent drop in Oil/Gas prices, would it be prudent to reduce exposure to Large E&P and Integrated names and increase ENB weighting, so we have Energy exposure but with limited downside. In your Balanced Equity Portfolio, I noticed that ENB weight is about 7.5% and you appear to be comfortable with that. Thank You

Q: QUIS has been a significant disappointment for some years now and appears to have changed its business profile at least once along the way, such that even now there is a current apparent need to make a substantial progress. So the question is there a reasonable prospect that the recent announcement involving Visa will have a significant impact on this company's sales and profitability?
