Q: Everyone, my mother in law is 90 and I ‘may’ soon be the person to look after her finances. She has $150,000 in something that I am not aware of. What stocks / ETFs should a 90 year old women own? Clayton
Q: ECN capital got back to positive EPS in the last quarter (3 cents). The share price is breaking out today. Management is still guiding for 10 to 16 cents of EPS for the year. In the background is the chance to their partner in the manufactured home financing (triad) could do a take over of ecN (not a sufficient reason the buy on its own but another positive possibliity). And combining a good chance for lower interest rates which I believe would help ecN makes me want to add to my small position in ecN. What is you read on the earnings and do you concur that it is time to add to a ecN position?
Q: I would appreciate your comments on TREX earnings; released yesterday. It appeared to me that metrics are generally improving, yet the stock dropped $15 at today’s open.
My main interest is understanding if there is some structural/metric issue causing the drop, or is it more related to their statement on outlook for the next 1/2 of the year?
Q: The new earnings report seemed slightly positive overall, I think. Yet the stock is dropping about 3% in an up market today. Is there something I am missing? What do you think of their quarter and prospects going forward?
