Q: In your recent answers to questions you had good things to say about SMCI and NVDA. They look good on my Globe Invest chart. The two I like OPK and MOH (MOLINA) looked good on my Globe Invest chart. Rank them 1-4, as I am looking for growth.

Thank you,
Dennis

Q: Sanderson farms (SAFM.us) has been taking a beating for about 2 months, and stocks shorted ,as percentage of float, are sky high. It is hard to see why. (For some bizarre reason, our hospital doesn’t supply Bloomberg terminals in the OR.)

In early December SAFM was selected for the “stock superstar portfolio ” suggested by AAII.com, a service that is generally diligent. AAII selected SAFM when it was trading at US$95 ; its price today is $75. I am tempted to add to my modest position.

I have flipped through various analysts’ reports and found nothing alarming. Most biz reports on SAFM tend to be positive. SAFM is a domestic US entity and is not hostage to Forex fluctuations. Health professional colleagues of mine are not aware of any public health issue or any regulatory problem at this company. I don’t know why there would be so many shorts on this beleaguered little company. If you are able to unravel this mystery and enlighten 5i members , we would be very thankful.

I see no valid reason for such a sharp price decline. But then nothing is obvious to an oblivious one like me.

Q: I made an error and have both Ford and GM in an RSP. I would like to sell one or both to free up some US cash. Each would incur a small loss.

Which one of Ford or GM would you sell? Perhaps both? In the alternate would you simply reduce each one and keep some of each? (The only other industry exposure I have is a small position in Martinrea)

Q: Good morning,

I read an article in the Toronto Star this morning regarding the expected strong growth in robotics (manufacturing etc.) over the next 10 years .Quoting the article, growth quadrupling by year 2025.

Can you please provide two or three of your best ideas in this space from a best risk/reward perspective(either US or Canadian) that would stand to profit the most if these projections come close to fruition.

Thanks
Tom

Q: I am looking for some beaten down oil co for my US portfolio and I understand the sector may be volatile for a while but I am looking for some growth and excitement. I am open to any other sector if you think this may not be the right one. I do hold FEZ,IWO,QQQ,VIG,BRK.B and SLW.
Regarding SLW with US thinking of raising intereset rates wouldn't that be a headwind for gold and silver and with the US $ getting stronger are these ETF's ok to hold for the next 2-3years? Your opinion please.
