Q: Seasonality in Quarterly Earnings
I noticed some stocks have a large difference in earnings forecast due to seasonality. For example, BRP has larger earnings forecast for Q3 and Q4. Shouldn't the strategy be to buy prior to those quarters and sell out before others?

Q: I recently added a few "commodity" stocks and they've recently had very strong runs...Would you be inclined to hold them or take some profits? None of them represent an oversized portion of my portfolio. I'm just thinking after such sizeable gains in a short term...they must be due for a pullback. What macroeconomic indicators would you use to identify a change in outlook?
