Q: Hi Peter and team,

Understand you don't follow the US Equities that closely but I have owned Disney for some time but its valuation seems a little overdone here and I was considering the switch to TWX since it is trading at a much cheaper multiple. My question is will the sell off of the cable division impact TWX overall and do you think this is worth the switch?

Q: PEIX
PEIX reported block buster result because of high ethanol prices and low corn prices. Q1 should be even much better as the price advantage is higher. It seem that a few years ago they were a speculative company. It went up 20% after hours, and has risen more than 150% since December.
What is their cash and debt position?
Do you see them as a good investment at current level?

Q: Hello Peter & 5i team, what does an investor do with a situation like KSU, where there may be a material change? Along with CNR, I wanted a US rail name. Despite the highest multiple in rails at the time, I was persuaded by growth potential from the US crop turn around, a comparatively fairly small coal exposure at 10% of volume coupled with a small but growing crude shipment opportunity, the Mexico advantage to come from 4 auto plants coming on stream and the KSU pipeline from Mexico into the US. I had been doing very well, but the stock is now down 27% from November highs. KSU missed earnings (but still grew earnings by 15%)last report due to a coal customer switching to natural gas (turns out coal customers are fewer but larger), warned the Mexico auto business would take longer to fruition, but reiterated the railway as a growth company. But then Mexico breaches its duopoly multi year remaining rail agreement by proposing to open up to competition, subject only to Mexico senate endorsement (which may or may not happen). Turns out rail network is government owned and not the competitive moat we are looking for. Do you sell and move on at a loss or wait for this to play out? I have a 6.5% US weighting; 2.5% weighting combined portfolio. Thank you for your consideration. Keith

Q: GE... while being a holder of GE right now with the recent down turn may not have much appeal, this is a quality well diversified company which should be able to take advantage of any US recovery over the next few years. My questions are at what price do when think would be a good entry point or, do you think an investor should wait until April when quarterly results will be published?

Thank You 5i family
