Q: In terms of a better recovery with less risk and you needed to sell one, which one would you let go? Currently down 18% with Hamond and 5% with DRX

Q: Hi 5i, I was listening to a steel analyst stating that "value added steel manufacturers" like Russel metals would be exempt from steel tarrifs. I realize the companies that actually make steel and the steel outputs for downstream manufacturing will be taxed. If this is true then aren't companies like the one mentioned or DRX or HPS also exempt? Now if anything manufactured in Canada is taxed then all bets are off.

Thx

Q: Hi 5i, I'm struggling to keep the mentioned companies in the face of pending 25% steel and aluminum tarrifs. Would appreciate a review and some comforting analysis :)

One thing not talked about is the dollar impact on these companies which have US sales, and the potential benefit of monetary policy easing faster now that this tarrif nonsense has basically put on hold any investment in our industries.

My gut is telling me that our last year recession, masked by insane immigration, will become an official recession this year.

Thx
