Q: As a newer subscriber to 5i, i am interested in purchasing your BE portfolio. The above names have had huge run ups and I don't know how to approach them. Which ones are buyable at these levels?
Of the ones you deem buyable, can you comment, for each, as to whether a half position or full position should be taken.
And can you rank these in terms in terms of your preferences at current levels?

Thank you for your excellent service, as always.
