Q: This is basically just an opinion but I think that last week the action with CRH was an example of what you really mean by volatility. The the 5 to 10% that happens some days for no good, obvious reason are to be expected in a growth portfolio and are just a healthy fluctuation in a share price. Such fluctuations actually strengthen the stock. Comment ?
Thanks for your support

Q: In March and February your comments about this company were generally positive. Yet just recently you said that this company was the most likely candidate to be booted out of the balanced equity portfolio. Sounds like you views have changed in the past four weeks. Can you explain the apparent shift in your position please. Thx.

Q: In just over 2 weeks with no particular changes in the world or the North American economy, including the market positioning or financial results of CRH; the stock has dropped over 35%! Is there something I just can't see or read into the latest Quarterly report or is there something relative to the MI positions that are not apparent in the Statements??
