Q: We have had 500 shares of orbk with a nice gain in capital. it seems the ride is over with the sale to klac. Should we ride it out to the conclusion and have some cash and klac shares in trade (pay some capital gains), or sell at current price (pay more capital gains), to redeploy the funds.?
Your advice is always appreciated.

Q: I ALWAYS ask about only one company at a time in one question. I ask here about two companies only because the two are intertwined.

Confusion lingers over QCOM.us. The uncertainty in my mind is over: QCOM’s long outstanding offer to buy NXP Semi; disputes with major customers (or is it just one customer Apple?) And now a former insider wants to buy out QCOM and his group has not clarified its position on NXPI.

I hold both QCOM.us and NXPI.us. QCOM appears to have a moat in that its products are, for now, allegedly indispensable in many devices. Is QCOM’s moat real?

Which of QCOM and NXPI ---IF EITHER --- would you sell? Your reasons would be much appreciated, thanks.

Q: KMB’s shares keep declining. It just raised its dividend by 3.1%. On financial websites financial ratios differ significantly-- ODD. One premium site depicts ROE at over a thousand % ! Yahoo shows ROE at > 400% . Could be function of ROBO-Analysis (?). So, what do you see for PEG, ROE, div payout , FCF and debt?

KMB’s sales are down and yes it says it faces higher input costs. But are there OTHER contributing factors to the continuing decline in share price?
I do not want to fall into errors like the one I made on another long-distance P&G where I am down 30%.
Is KMB worth buying now at these better prices? Does risk-reward make sense here? What do you think of KMB’s prospects? Would you buy , if only as a bond proxy? If you have suggestions for some other reliable dividend growers , I would appreciate names.

Q: Is THOR suitable for a conservative VALUE investor interested in SOME sales and dividend growth? Is debt manageable and is cash flow good? Financial data and ratios point to good value? I was puzzled to see share price down 2.5% today on no news--- one possible reason is aluminum tariffs (?). Tariffs I thought were on hold for now, except for China imports. But Thor would not have to rely on China for aluminum? Do you see the economy reasonably strong for non-essential products like those of Thor?
