Q: The market seemingly loved the results at the open, but then ended the day down 6.5% on what appears to be significant volume. It looked like the contract extension addressed the important parts of the short report, but apparently not, given its performance today.

Is it time to move on, or continue to hold?

Q: Hi David,
I am looking for a diversified industrial company that I can hold for a two year minimum.
ROP and FTV look interesting -- my thought is to go 50/50.
Do you have a preference or another name to consider?

Q: Sitting on a fairly significant position and loss with CPG in an RRSP. Wondering if it is time to take the loss if there is no foreseeable upside and potential asset write downs or to ride out an eventual recovery with oil prices. Able to hold for at least another 10 years.

Q: Hi,
I am an income investor whose portfolio is currently 25% fixed income and 65% in equities. With the money I made on the sale of Enercare I would like to invest in a bond fund to keep it safe in these time of market uncertainty. Which do you prefer? Would I be better to divide equally between both funds or all in one fund? Is there a better fund I should consider?

Thank you for your time.
Leigh

Q: In addition to some individual stocks, I'm invested in the above ETFs in a (hopefully not foolish) attempt to diversify my portfolio but also increase my exposure to the US tech market; in particular tech companies involved in cloud computing. Generally, I've been splitting my funds about equally between these four ETFs. Can you give me your thoughts on this strategy and in particular, the weighting of these ETFs (investing roughly equally between these 4 ETFs)?

Q: Do you think there is a possibility that ALA could go bankrupt? Based on all the negative decisions that have eroded share value, it would appear to me that a wholesale change of the Board of Directors could be welcome news for this company. Who could make this happen?
