Q: Hi,

Based on guidance from CN, and results from TFII, would it be fair to say that we are in a recession. My experience over the years, is that CN always leads in and out of recessions by about 6 months in advance. Based on CN’s guidance, and had they not had record grain shipments for the last quarter, they would not have recorded the beat that they had. Would you agree?

Q: I hold the following companies in my consumer cyclical and defensive part of portfolio.

Cyclical:

AirBnb
Aritzia
DOO
MED
SBUX

Defensive:
COST


I’m thinking of selling MED and adding to the balance of my cyclical positions. What are your thoughts on this portfolio of companies and which ones look most attractive today to add to?

For defensive, I only hold Costco. What companies would you suggest I look to diversify my defensive portfolio?

Thanks

Q: Brief thoughts on these weeds I'm looking to pick.

Return and % weight in portfolio now and what I plan:

MGA: -39, 2.13%. Looking to trim slightly down to 1.5%, add to ATZ, BYD, BKNG or SBUX?
ILLM: -87%, 0.14%. So small now its insignificant, roll into GOOG position
CTS: -46%, 0.96%. Hovering at 1 yr low. Aside from strategic review, what's the catalyst?
MED: -61%, 0.80%. Sell and add to ATZ, BYD, BKNG or SBUX?

Toss them, hold them or water them? Thanks!
