Investment Q&A

Q: Hi gang

I have held this baby for years, I have a boat load of shares, sold some at $.33. I sorta gave up on this one, my cost is $.06. It has gone up a lot, what do you think ,about this one, I know that they need to raise over a billion dollars to get into production. I like the management, that is a reason I bought it a long time ago I have it in a cash account, so maybe I will sell some, looking at a big tax hit, not that I should bitch about that, better to make money than loose it.......


Thanks

Q: Trez Capital has suspended redemptions of it's funds. Do you have any insights as to why. Have they done this before. Is it a sign of anything to be worried about. (FYI) I almost invested in one of the funds but did not because of the many conditions attached. Are the funds a worthwhile investment?

Q: Hi there,

ABBV has been on a decent run since July. I assume their mostly positive quarterly report indicating lots of activity in their drug pipeline is one reason plus healthcare seems to be showing a bit of life.

How do you see it’s valuation is it an ADD/BUY in a diversified portfolio for growth and income?

What fixed income investments do you suggest these days. I could add to the above and/or to corporate bonds, if that makes sense.

Q: I noticed you prefer KSX over DSG recently, and I’m wondering why. Or is GSY the better choice of the three? I have held all three for a few years and due to timing issues I have a much higher gain on DSG and GSY. I know past performance does not guarantee future results, but can’t get over my negative bias towards KSX. Also I have too many different stocks and know I should concentrate more. (I.e. 20 vs 30+)
