Q: Hi 5i: Thanks for providing the sector percentages. One thing still puzzles me, namely the breakdown of the consumer space into (1) discretionary vs staples or (2) cyclical versus non-cyclical. From my reading it appears that discretionary and cyclical are synonyms, as are non-cyclical and staples. Is this correct? Also, could you tell me which sector Amazon, Priceline and Facebook belong to? Many thanks.

Q: Hi. Can I have your opinion on Instructure (NYSE: INST), a US educational software company? I could not find any question on that company in the database. It provides cloud-based Learning Management Software (LMS) to institutions to administer and deliver online courses, track learning outcomes, teacher-student interactions, etc. They also a product targeted to corporations for training employees and developing skills. The stock seems to be performing very well. It is on my watch list and I am intrigued by it because I am a big user of LMS at my University. Thank you.

Q: Dear 5i
I`ve read a few times that you`ve mentioned EBIX as one of your favourite US stocks . I`ve looked at it in some detail and agree that it looks impressive . My only concern is its debt level and a relatively high short position. Do these metrics concern you at all ?
I`m considering FLIR and GRMN as well and was wondering if you could rate these three stocks best to worst .
Thanks
Bill C.
