Q: Good Morning,
I recently came into $23k US which is pure investment money. I do not need it for anything else. I would like to keep it in US funds. Are there any screaming buys out there for growth and/or income that I could park the money and watch it grow?
Thanks,
Rick

Q: I've been looking at a few boutique banks, specifically Greenhill & Company (GHL) and Lazard (LAZ). They both pay nice dividends and seem to be gaining steam from all the M&A activity lately. What is your opinion on these two and boutique banks in general. Thanks

Q: I'm looking to buy some US Stocks. I'm relatively young and also being risk tolerant, I'm looking for medium-to-high growth stocks for the long term.

I know you mentioned many US stocks on this service, but of the ones on your purview, can you give me a few names that are good and high growth on the US exchanges?

Q: I would appreciate your opinion on PID versus PFM. 3 & 5 years performance as well as sharp ratio is much better for PFM than PID while standard deviation for PFM is lower. So don't understand why morning star is giving PID 5* rating while PFM has only 3* rating. Am I missing something? would you have a better alternative to these two?

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter,
I have been a member for about a month, and must admit, your advice is very good. I have two questions: i like the aapl stock, but i cannot see it going very high. If it doubles, it would get to a 1000 billion market cap, is this possible? I do not recall seeing a stock hitting those highs. Second, i have been looking at a company called the Buckle, BKE in the US market; it is a high end retailer competing with the gap with high insider ownership. It has done very well and the ROE is high followed by lower PE under 15. The stock has not moved much in about two years. Any comments please? Thanks very much.

Q: Hi 5i,

I have another question regarding buying companies with options. I would love to buy calls (8 months-1.5 years) for ESL or CSU, but unfortunately none are available.

Upon trying to find comparables to CSU or ESL I've come across Tyler Technologies (TYL). TYL has shown great growth, has no debt and maintains a nice ROE. My only concern is it appears to trade at over 60x earnings. Is this accurate? Are there other solid and growing tech companies that you think might be appropriate here? (I already have some Jan 2015 OCT Calls that have done very well).

Thanks!!

Q: I have noticed alcoa (aa) and a french company has been testing and promoting an electric car battery that extends a vehicle range up to 1800 kms. There has been some talk of creating a plant in Quebec. I have looked into the technology and it seems they do have something that has the potential to be enormous and could propel electric vehicles into main stream. I understand Ford is involved also. Do you have any opinion on this new battery and alcoa and if this is a good entry point? Thank you Dave T.
