Q: Hi 5i,

Looking to maintain and potentially expand exposure in my portfolio in the auto industry. Currently have held BWA for 3+ years and feel as though I could be putting this capital to better use elsewhere. Would you be able to recommend any alternatives?

I am not interested in investing in a direct manufacturer like FORD/GM/TESLA since I have no idea how this EV market shift will go. Feel as though the suppliers would be a safer bet.

Thank you,

Greg C.

Q: I need to liquidate some equities to be able to pay out my RMD. I am inclined to sell the above 2 stock (NVEI and PBH), seeing only downward momentum compared to the other equities (above) I have that show steady or upward momentum. Might you agree?

Q: PBH: 5i continues to sing the praises of this company and I am not sure why? last 7 years stock same range with peaks and valleys, high P.R. low ROE & high debt. I thought about it at around, I think $79.00; but, bought GSY which looked better to me using every metric. Have owned IGM for long time and added to that when price was low - best of breed IMHO.

Q: I bought CSU way back at $400 or so and (despite your advice), hate the idea of selling any more of a stock that seems to do so well month after month. At some point however, I need to reduce CSU again, and am wondering about putting some into LMN which you like as well. I have very small positions in both TOI and LMN, but so far neither has done much in comparison to CSU.

My question is, if CSU has "an event" that drags it down really badly, will the sister companies also get tarred with the same brush? Would I be better looking at something completely different like HPS.A?

Thanks for your advice - I have done well by it!

Q: Empire Chief Operating Officer Pierre St-Laurent Sells 100% Of Holding. This is a headline I read yesterday.
Insiders are selling because of a variety of issues. However, rarely a COO eliminates 100% of his position.
Do you see a specific company issue for this sale? Are you comfortable with holding this security?
Thank you as always for your guidance ?
