Q: As you can see this company suffered a significant hit this morning. Yet from the accompanying statement the reasons for today's slide, which appears to be the culmination of a much more severe slide which began some months ago, are not clear. Can you clarify how the announced changes will affect company prospects so severely?

Q: 52 shares of Micro Focus appeared on my monthly statement a few months ago. They did not perform well. I would like your thoughts about that company.
Thank you.

Q: Can you please suggest a US$ stock that would be leveraged to an increase in the oil price? I am looking for a good, 5i-style company, but if possible, not necessarily a giant that doesn't have a lot of room to run. I appreciate you don't follow the US market but do let me know if there is something that you might be able to recommend.

Thank you,

Chris

Q: Maple Leaf Foods took a sharp hit at the beginning of trade, but has recovered somewhat, still down 3+% as I write this. How do you feel about them moving forward?

Separately, maybe a way to reduce the sheer volume of questions on the same company on a given day, is when selecting a company from the drop-down box, if 5i already has an answer 'in the works' the member can be prompted to wait to read the new answer before submitting his/her own, could take up to 24 hours, etc.

Q: Could you explain exactly what these two ETFs invest in? On their respective websites it appears as if ZFH is largely in government bonds or treasuries of some type (the scary term CDS shows up here), while MFT refers to "bank loans". Both indicate low to moderate risk, while at the same time showing virtually all investments rated at BB or less - below investment grade.
How do these ETFs compare to ZHY or XHY in terms of safety of principle and dividend sustainability?
Thank-you
