Q: If you could add any company to a portfolio what would be your top 3 companies (regardless of current holdings) taking into account valuation and current share price. Can you also provide earnings expectations for 2018/2019 for the three names provided? Thanks

Q: Regarding questions on SIS and other companies that announce earnings release dates. Some announcements are made before the market opens while others are after market close. Do you think there is a tendency to announce after market close if results aren't stellar and to force share holders to sleep on it rather than announcing before market open and having a knee jerk panic sell off? Although some may worry until market opens in the morning and selling could be just as bad. Have you ever pondered release time frame versus good/bad results?

Thanks
Dave

Q: Hi 5i,

This is a general question but I listed Tesla as an example. I am curious about the influence of shorts on a company's stock movement. I have a friend who says that the price of, say Tesla, is held back by a large number of outstanding short positions. And, ... if the shorts start to be removed, Tesla stock will take off. My own belief is that there are many significant factors on what a stock moves up or down, and I would say, shorts play only a minor role in the price movement. So my question, how significant are the short positions in price movement ?
