Q: There have been a number of questions about tax loss selling. I am concerned with the opposite. There are some stocks up 50-75-100% this year, and who people/organizations might want to sell early in the new year in order to postpone paying taxes for another year. Would it make sense to sell something like that, say PBH now, in anticipation of selling in the new year, and transfer the money to a company like CSU which hasn't really done much this year? PBH might be picked up again after selling is done, if it happens.

Q: Greetings 5i, I'm wondering what is so attractive about a company like PBH. I don't understand some of the more exotic metrics, but if I look at basics like net income, earnings per share, etc, PBH doesn't look to be building shareholder value as it gets bigger. Is the attraction a bet that they will eventually somehow wring more value out of their acquisitions through organic growth?
