Q: I'm having a hard time understanding the huge drop in DSG only because I've realized I don't fully understand what DSG does. I thought I did.

But, in re-reading your report, I started to get a "Charlie Brown Brain" -- you know, the part where the teacher is speaking to the students, seemingly very clearly, but all the students hear is "wha wha wha wha wah".

In real world terms, providing an example with crayons if necessary, how does it serve transportation providers, freight forwarders, and custom brokers? By scheduling for them? Is it as simple as that? In essence they act like the "air traffic controllers" for the ground forces of trucking, shipping, freighting companies?

And then, if it's simply a matter of providing scheduling and such, why is there an expected 7% drop in workforce because of Trump. Are we seeing such a huge decline in cross-border traffic?

I "think" I'd like to hang on. As you suggest DSG has now become a HOLD.

Yet, if the tail really is wagging the dog at this point (i.e., Trump tariffs being applied willy nilly with no consideration to the true economic effects on both countries) ... how wise can it really be to hang on? We're stuck with this guy til 2028, presumably.

Conceivably, it could get a lot worse.

A considered argument of the pros and cons of keeping DSG while reviewing the impact and effects would be most appreciated.

Thank you.

Q: I have had a nice run over the last 5 owning 5 of the mag 7 stocks. I have a small % of the portfolio dedicate to canadian teck. I am looking at Appel's potential headwinds with the current US administration position on trade and thinking of selling 1/2 my position and adding DSG as a replacement for a long term hold. does this make any sense to you guys?

Q: I understand that DSG and KXS operate in different spaces, but had thought that, as the market put April 9 behind it, they would recover along similar trajectories - but KXS has clearly taken the lead, today matching its December, 2024 high. Supposing that at least some of Trump's tariff plans come to fruition, is KXS the better investment? DGS's RoC (per your database) is far more attractive.

Q: I started accumulating positions in these the last couple of days with intentions of adding more. Was never able to get in at decent prices ever before. They have all bounced back today and are in green quite nicely which is great but they are only small positions and I wanted to buy more. Do I wait as this mess will give another chance to get in Or do i average up ? Any issues with anything on the list ?

Q: Greetings 5i team,
I hold the securities listed above, as well as a couple of more stable ETFs and some cash in my TFSA. I am aware that things are going to be volatile at least for the near future but am wondering in what order an investor might deploy cash to any of these securities given the correction we are experiencing.
Thank you
Steve P
