Q: US Debt. How long before it sets off a crisis in the stock and bond markets. Is there declining interest in buying American treasuries today? And do you think there is a real risk to the dollar being replaced as the world standard. US politics and media are oblivious to this looming issue, or do you believe this is just paranoia.

Q: After looking at your chart attack, it seems to me that the S&P (blue line) might be vulnerable to a 20-25% correction, similar to 2022 ? Do you think this may be a serious risk?? Thanks Jim

Q: Still holding MG as it approaches the Covid lows.


My question has to do with the financial health of the company, and is its dividend supported if we finally enter the long awaited slow down/recession. I've scanned past questions and would like to know if your 2025/2026 views of this company have changed. It would also be great to reflect its current valuation over past cyclical downturns.

Thx.

Q: TOI was spun out of CSU around 4 years ago, with the goal of having a smaller and faster growing company. Since the spinoff, both companies have done very well, yet CSU has outperformed. Do you think that the spinoff thesis is still intact? Or is it too early to make this call?

Thanks.

Q: hello 5i:
we've owned JPIE for just under a year now and am very happy with returns, and low volatility. Two questions:
One: is performance mostly due to timing eg. expectations of lower interest rates, meaning if expectations reverse, price would fall?
Two: what would you consider to be direct competitors to JPIE, possibly with less risk, when (not if) rates begin to rise again?
thanks

Q: You had some previous thoughts on this one. I'm attracted to the 9-10% dividend but concerned about your previous comments that this one could be "hurt" by lowering interest rates. I guess that is why it is near a 52 week low. Any thoughts on this one now and as we head into 2025 ... is the ~ 9% dividend safe...it's been at ~ $ 17 for almost 2 years ... is the share price safe at around that level ?
