Q: Hi 5iR, This is not a question just a comment on TOY. 5iR I think you need to adjust your thinking on TOY. An increasing number of kids today do not play with toys. They play with their devices. As a grandparent I watch my grandchildren spend hours on their devices, not toys....it drives me nuts...... Since TOY is not in the software business, I would be a seller of TOY not a buyer. Cheers, Chris

Q: I own ENGH in a taxable account with a 200% gain. I also own CSU, DSG, SHOP and ZQQ all 5 stocks with a 4% weighting. I have a long time frame and wondering if you would suggest selling ENGH and replace with what IT stock? To offset some of the 200% gain, I could sell ENB and AQN which are both below my cost base and repurchase them in 30 days.

Q: Someone from another stock discussion forum has stated that although SJ reported $0.74 EPS this was a result of a one-time $30M cash benefit, effectively making earnings $21.1M net income for Q4 rather than the reported $51.1M. Thus, without the cash benefit EPS came in at only $0.30 (below estimates of $0.31).

Is this accurate, and/or a fair way to assess the results? In light of this is it more reasonable to view today's results as more of a miss than a beat, as today's market action seems to suggest?
