Q: Hi Team, I held hlf last year and every quarter my frustration increased, all of this to say that this company can't seem to report 2 good quarters in a row. Now that the hurd seems to be piling into the stock again, I am thinking of shorting the stock around $25 or slightly below. What do you think?

I am also thinking of a pair-trade long pbh if I can pick it up around 56-58.

Q: How is it best to determine the valuation for First Service? I am guessing price/cash flow because looking at the P/E, it appears to be extremely expensive. What would be a reasonable P/CF range for this company? What would be a reasonable P/CF range for this sector?

Q: Hi 5I team, I have learned a lot via your educational investment ideas. For stocks trading at low volume, how many and when to buy and sell? How do institutional funds trade or they just avoid if average volume is less than certain number? This low volume may associate with small market capital. Thanks again.

Q: Hi Team,

I know the expectations on ceapro are probably VERY HIGH and the recent attention on it is probably pricing it for perfection. On the other hand, it is debt free, adding a new facility, has rising sales and has a patented technology. Could the current price be justified?
Great job as usual guys!!
