Q: Hello,
Uber and CRWD have grown nicely to reach levels of 10%+ in my portfolio. I know that you cannot personalize but so my question is whether a prudent move with companies like these are to let them run completely or pare down to a comfortable number. If lightening is preferred, what would be optimal? If one or the other is safer to keep at a high % please feel free to answer separately for each.

Q: In June this year you named this company as one of your favorite cyclicals. I didn't buy it but it has dropped significantly since then. I am considering buying it now as it looks like EPS has exceeded expectations for at least the last 4 Q's. Would you still consider it a buy or have fundamentals changed? Thank you. John

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide a summary of the fundamentals for IES Holdings including cash on hand, free cash flow and a measure of its profitability. Could you also provide its growth potential over the next 3 to 5 years and if possible indicate the ratio of organic growth to growth by acquisition. Also what are the insider holdings and has there been any significant buying or selling over the past few months. Is this a company that could benefit substantially from the dramatic increase of data centres needed for AI purposes.
Thanks.
