Q: With the general sell off in tech stocks, I'm currently down about 40% on each of these companies. However, I remain long term positive on them and would like your opinion as whether now is the time to add to my positions or whether you feel there may be further pain ahead for the sector and I'd be better off biding my time?

Thanks, Rick

Q: Hi, There seems to be a systematic decline in equity values, for past two days, in sectors like Utilities and Telcos, which are considered proxy to bonds, due to their higher yields. They held on better than the market, in general, during past few months. Do you think, the fear of rising rates has finally caught up with these sectors and these stocks might come under pressure, even more, in near term, as Fed and BOC continue with their plans to hike interest rates. What's your advice ? We have about 10% weighting in each of the two sectors. Thank You

Q: I have to take issue with (IMHO) inconsistencies in answers to related questions by 5i personnel. Because the answers are never signed I'm not sure who is answering what.

My issues are with my question on ENGH and a subsequent question on ENGH by Ronald

ON May 26th I questioned holding ENGH and a portion of your response stated "We continue to like the long-term prospects and we would be fine with the stock for a long-term hold. We think ENGH has a solid recovery potential, once the market calms down and inflation risks peak."

To me that was a rather generic response that I've seen you write on many stocks." Your comments were IMHO not negative on the stock, so I decided to hold.

Then on June 9 you repsonded to Ronald : "ENGH has missed a lot of its recent earnings expectations" and "We believe that time will be needed before this company reverses its momentum and it finds its footing. We would prefer to sit this one out for the time being."

Now, I realize that my question was pre earnings, I believe Ronalds' was post earnings. BUT had I had the comments you gave to Ronald I probably would have sold the position.

I found the second answer much more pertinent and salient and would have made my action very different.

Q: After selling ENGH yesterday, I am reviewing the above holdings and only want to keep stocks that have a potential to generate decent future income, over the next 5 years or may be acquired by another company. These are long-term holdings and I don't need the cash, but could use the tax loss. Don't want to sell any company with a positive future. Any of the above holdings that you would sell now?
Thanks!
