Q: I have owned the GOOG class "C" shares for many years and it trades with a minor discount to the class A GOOGL shares. On Market Call today the guest indicated "you should always buy the GOOGL shares. What is your opinion and if you agree should I sell to then acquire the GOOGL shares? That said, is this a reasonable time to bring this from a 3.4% weighting up to a 5%? Appreciate your insight.

Q: DR is taking a fair hit today, apparently over the change in leadership announcement (or is there something else?). How significant is this change, in your opinion? With a 7+% dividend, do you think that DR might be worth buying now as a small position, with the objective of collecting a nice dividend and perhaps a bit of growth potential?
Thank-you

Q: Although Mullen share prices are weak currently and the PE ratio is about 34 it seems that the Mullen Group (MTL) is optimistic about its own future with recent acquisitions and substantial stock purchases by the president and a director in Mid-May. It seems that the company has diversified to some degree away from the oil and gas sector although still quite dependent on performance of the sector.
I value very much your opinion of the future for this company over both the short term (1 year or so) and long term (5+ years) as represented by its stock price and dividend growth.
Thank you very much, Ed

Q: Tenneco (TEN.us)
Would you please update your mid-2016 opinion on Tenneco. Is it worth holding given the challenges faced by auto part makers and auto manufacturers. (GM for example has the lowest P/E in the S&P 500, I think--- not sure). I am a value-growth investor who also looks for dividend growth. Does TEN.us have good prospects? Is the company growing and are the fundamentals good?

Incidentally a member last year in a question on Tenneco referred to “the 5i-Scratch-Test”. What is that please?
