Q: My question is about Manhattan Bridge Capital Inc ( LOAN on NASDAQ).
The company pays a regular7.6% quarterly dividend and the stock trades in a range of $6.00 to $6.60. The company seems to have quite stable income but is highly leveraged. Nevertheless if the pundits are correct and we have low interest rates for 2020, would it make sense to borrow money at 5% to buy this stock? What could possibly go wrong?
Cheers
Ian

Q: I would like to buy a stock or ETF that deals with water treatment, possibly desalination, or purifying water. This would be a US holding, but not necessarily aimed at treating water in the US. What suggestions might you have? I thought about American WaterWorks, and would like an idea of what else is out there, especially for desalination treatment. Thank you.

Q: Greetings,

I need to add an industrial and a consumer staple/discretionary to my overall well balanced US portfolio. After reviewing a number of options, my top in each category are GD and HBI. I am looking for some growth and a dividend as I am nearing retirement. I am betting that GD will continue its strong growth and HBI will turn things around. Your thoughts and do you have a better recommendation in each sector?

Thanks
