Q: I bought the above stocks in my Margin account last year and I'm down considerably on both so wondering at this point if you would bring any of them back to original weighting, sell or hold with a short reason why. Medium to high risk, long term growth investor.
Thanks in advance. Please deduct credits as you see fit.
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: Hello, what are your thoughts on Abbvie vs Anthem? I have recently purchased both but thinking about moving it all to Anthem as I heard that Abbvie will be losing its patent on one of its most successful drug in the new year. I am diversified, currently own Stryker as well. Thoughts?
Q: I have some money in my RRSP and would like to buy some US stocks. Could you recommend your top picks you think are priced to buy now, which gives 3% or more dividend. Also any you would wait on, and what price point you would enter. Thanks so much!
Q: Is Stride taking over from the downtrodden Chinese education providers, TAL, etc.?Bottom line, what is your perspective on their intermediate term prospects?
I'm trying to understand the impact of the recent fight between Disney and the State of Florida. What would you estimate the impact to be if Florida strips Disney of their special status to govern themselves. To be honest, I'm not sure if this will have any impact as it may be a zero sum game if the surrounding municipalities collect a tax to provide the services Disney does and pays for itself now? Is that too simplistic?

Q: I was perusing for low p/e US stocks and I came across Ryder Systems. Low p/e and an attractive dividend that has been paid for 45 consecutive years. I went to the company web page and looked at a corporate presentation and I was surprised to read that this company has a lot of verticals (I thought they just rented trucks!!). It seems to provide a lot of services for the e-commerce retailers which has secular growth. I know they have a lot of debt (but doesn't anyone in the truck leasing business need a lot of working capital?) so why does this company seem to trade a such a low multiple with a decent dividend? Price momentum is poor but I have other stocks that are momentum plays and I like to have some value stocks as a counter balance to the portfolio. Is R good value or other there issues I have not uncovered?
