Q: Hi Team! As more more and more people are working from home, cloud based software companies, cyber security companies will benefit as I think this will become a new reality as companies realize they can save money. In Internet communication and hardware companies out there that will see an increase of their services and products are there any names you would recommend? I thank you in advance. Sam

Q: With the possible exception of MDT or ISRG, some of the US listed medical stocks remain down near their lows while other names have rallied hard. I am interested in the companies above and wonder if you can tell me if each would be a buy for you at current levels? Again each are down a lot, have favourable analyst ratings but haven't bounced much. Are there any on this list you DO NOT like?

Q: Hello Peter and co,
Thank you for your voice of reason in these crazy times! My 18-year old granddaughter has been talking about investments, and recently announced that she has decided she wants to invest in a cruise line company, since they are probably way down. Her thinking makes some sense to me, as the cruise industry will survive, and the strongest players may benefit from assimilation of weaker players assets. Similar thinking regarding airlines. In both cases, bankruptcy may be a risk. Is it safe to assume that buying these sectors is a good long term strategy, and if so, which companies would you suggest? Presumably strong balance sheet is a must. I think I read that Warren Buffett bought some Delta Airlines shares recently. Considering all that, what would you suggest for a young 18-year old?
Thanks.

Q: How would someone find a list of companies that have been around since the early 1900's (have gone through the depression, wars, hyper inflation etc) and never cut or suspended their dividend? Would those same companies be theoretically safe and follow the same history if we end up in a prolonged recession/depression now?

Q: I have always believed in the long term value of lumber, hence my interest in this name that i have been in and out in past. I guess the question the market is now reflecting on is about the company's financial capacity to sustain debt payment, or stay afloat.
They are inherently designed to go through different cycles, and reduce operations, but would you think they can survive worst case scenario based on their debt ratios, and would you see value here even if dividend is probably going to be cut?
