Q: I have listed a few comapnies that I believe are in the, let's call it "Tariff Penalty Box". My thinking is as follows:
1) They have already been hurt by the threat of tariffs.
2) If the tariffs do not come, they will 'pop'.
3) If the tariffs do come, they will also move up as the clarity of actual tariffs should ease concerns compared to the threat of nebullous, potential tariffs.

Does this seem reasonable to you? And do you agree that these four should all be on this list and are there others you would add to it?

Thank-you very much.

Q: I'm thinking the sell off of these two stocks is overdone due primarily to all the uncertainty around trade and tariffs.
For a longer term hold (3-5 years) would consider this to be a good time to step in (perhaps a half position) or should I wait for these matters to be clarified/resolved?
Thanks, Rick

Q: I am light in consumer cyclicals and am following the balanced equity portfolio. I own a full position of MRE ( so haven't bought any MG). I have a slight aversion to buying companies that dont pay any dividends so am hesitant to jump on TOY or GC. Any good buying opportunities in the consumer cyclical space ( 5 year hold) as alternatives to TOY and GC?

Q: In tracking these four auto parts companies, all seem to have been doing very well in this volatile market. Even ACQ enjoyed a ~5% bump today! Wondering if the reason is somehow related to Trump's tariff controversy. Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i: I bought MG and MRE about 6 months ago. MG is now down a little and MRE is up over 30%. I know that both have interests in Europe, and that MRE went through a rough patch with management issues, as well as some plant problems, both now behind them. Does this explain the recent difference, or is there some other explanation? The news on the auto parts sector is not particularly rosy, and I've been thinking about a switch to some other sector. What do you think? Sell both, sell one (which one?) or just hold tight? I'd appreciate your advice.

Q: I am a 21 year old investor with a long investment horizon. In my TFSA, both CPH and MRE have stagnated and I am thinking of selling these and moving on. Would you endorse this move and if so, could you recommend your top 2 names (any sector) to replace them?

Thank You!

Q: Hi 5i team, just read your recent report on XTC. How can you explain the higher multiples for XTC versus the three others: growth is currently favored by the market over size, value and more diversification? What would you expect the stabilized P/E to be over the long run for them? Higher and lower for which of these? Thank you, Eric

Q: Good morning:
I am a retired investor who owns small weightings in the above-mentioned shares. I am thinking of selling Ford and re-investing the money elsewhere while still having a position in the auto sector with the other two companies. I would like your thoughts on this and how you think this sector will perform in 2017. Have auto sales peaked?
Thank you.
