My portfolio has: AD, POW, REI,SRU, PPL, ATD, MG, BCE, EMA and GUD.
In your opinion do I have exposure to all sectors with quality stocks? Which ones would you suggest to add or get rid of?

Thank you!

Q: Hello to all of you at 5i,
I'm debating whether to buy shares of Borg Warner so as to diversify outside of North America or make a move on Magna for almost the same reason given it does a lot of business in Europe. Which one do you see as having the better prospects? Thanks in advance.

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: All of these companies had large drops in value today(Friday)on large volumes. CSU down 1.5% and ECI down 2.5% on very large volume at the day's end. Can you explain this end of day activity? Is it a buying opportunity?
Perhaps a separate question, both LNR and MG took big hits today (Friday), both on large volumes - any ideas as to what caused this? Buying opportunity?

Q: Hello 5i team,
In response to a fellow member question regarding MG and XTC, you seem to have classified them in the Industrials sector. I had my holdings in MG and LNR as Consumer Discretionary Cyclicals; even though they fit in both sectors, where would you place them?
Happy Easter
