Q: Hi, I see the demand case for PBH.to. But I'm cautious on the company because I don't understand how inflation might eat their lunch (bad pun). Do they have any fingers in the food production, or are they just a taker of input prices? If so aren't their margins going to get squeezed here as meat and grain input costs rise? I'm guessing there is a limit to how much they can raise their prices to stores before the demand side?

Q: In an income portfolio, currently hold CSH.UN at full position and thinking to sell outright to replace with 1/2 positions in AW.UN and SYZ to replace yield and add diversification. What are your thoughts on the move? Does it increase risk?

Q: I am thinking about starting a position in these 3 names. Do you support or would you wait for some sort of stability returning to the market. I almost bought SHOP a few weeks ago when It was much higher - It's very volatile. I am down on many other positions but luckily my exposure to growth was not very high. Thank you for all your work and guidance in this difficult market.

Q: Hello,

I am thinking of picking up Magna now that its fallen sharply, but there are a few points that are making me second guess buying now.
Wondering if you can shed some light on the following:

1) Given that Magna's profit margin is pretty small, how much of an issue would rising input costs (ie labour and raw materials) be for them?

2) Do you know if any of their facilities are unionized?

3) With rising inflation and interest rates - do you think new car demand will decrease significantly (in the near term)

thank you,
Brad

Q: Hi 5i,

If one was predisposed to achieve a higher yield for an income portfolio, what would you replace WSP, PRMW and PLC with? Or does this defeat the purpose of balance and keeping some growth?

Q: Like a previous subscriber wrote, we also appreciate your most recent report: specifically, the numeric historical context of this current correction, the sectors affected and those most likely to benefit.
We are invested in each of the three of the 5i portfolios and over the next 1-2 months plan to make staggered and targeted contributions.
Could you suggest 3 or 4 companies from each portfolio where the winds of sentiment are excessively negative and would be attractive to purchase with this approach?
This is for a 5+ years hold.
Thank you

Q: In line w/ sentiments expressed in the latest market update (thank you for that), would you put any of these names in the "likely beyond repair column"? Or do they all fall firmly in the "damaged but not broken" column?
