Q: Morning-I am a retiree whom is dependent on monthly income to survive.I have 60K to invest in my cash account hoping to create some income.

Q: Brick Brewing Company has shown very good gains since I bought it. Do you see further upside in relation to the fundamentals and momentum? I am at a decision point and considering taking my profits and investing the original amount in another small/medium size brewery. If I were to do this do you have any suggestions regarding this type of company. Thanks.

Q: I have a small ($35k) car account - bought a new car and financed most on basis of keeping my capital, hopefully offsetting the low interest cost with dividends. Portfolio: AD,AX,CWX,DFN & PZA. ax represents 37% and has given me a 12% capital gain in addition to the 8% dividends. It now seems range bound at $13. Thinking of taking that capital gain and replacing AX with a combination of ALA and IPL both of which seem to have some upside potential, while still paying 6-7% div. What do you think? Thanks, continue to love your service.

Q: Isn't the fall in SP an over reaction?? Home Depot has been successfully fending off Amazon with successful online retail of its own for several years in many of its business lines already (hand and power tools etc). Not to mention people don't like buying a lot of their goods online and prefer to buy or pick up in person. I just don't see why there's such a big reaction. I own HD shares and am now a bit under water. I don't typically like holding on to losers very long. What would be an appropriate stop loss level for this stock and/or what are your thoughts on the stock moving forward. Thanks
