Q: Hello,
I own the whole list (weights 1% to 2%) thinking I was being diversified but maybe went too far.
1) I am on the right track to reduce to about 3 names?
2) Which names optimise income?
3) Alternative names that I might have missed?
Many thanks!

Q: Thoughts on how to stomach all the volatility. Since I know you are not a fan of stop losses does one just grin and bear it. It's nice when some sectors are working but what does one do when all sectors potentially stop working? It seems there are so many unknowns which the market doesn't like. In your experience, what is it like to go through a bear market and what advice you you have for nervous retail investors. Your wisdom appreciated!

Q: For US financials you have been positive (recommended) both MS and JPM in responses to recent questions. Based on long term safety, valuation and growth potential which of these companies would you buy today? Are they sufficiently different to split the position between them?
Q: Good Morning Peter & team,
This name has experienced a significant drop since it's high on Dec 31 after experiencing a 700% ROR since May 2015. I know you can't predict a bottom and we are not to profess to be market timers. And we definitely don't like the idea of "catching a falling knife" but... FSV is starting to look more and more attractive the lower it gets. How do you think it will act with addition rate increases in the forecast and would you buy now or look for a bit of a bowl before moving in? Or would you council us to stay away and if so what would be the reasons?
Thanks for all you do

Q: Just following up on your perspective relative to market sentiment. I find that the Indices are misleading, in a very LARGE way. In fact the divergence between them and the overall breadth and performance of mid/small caps is incredibly large. What references should/could be used outside of the indices in order to gain a true reflection of overall stock performance.
Q: Out look & rating --Thanks
