Investment Q&A

Q: I would like your thoughts on GNC Holdings (GNC-US).

I have gone through the financials and they look great. Earnings and profit growth are strong, company is buying back shares, margins are increasing this year and I think they are in an industry that should really benefit from an aging population that is becoming more and more aware of personal health. My only concern is their use of long term debt but with rates low, maybe this is a smart managerial move? Thoughts?

Just getting into production have some good properties, Brazil needs fertilizer,good location, even a possibility of Rare earth production. I don't mind waiting for a sector change.

Q: I wrote about 1 hour ago about weird price action at the close respecting Enghouse. The same thing happened to Cineplex and Boyd. If you have any explanation I am sure many of your clients would like to know what happened before the open on Monday. I personally find such price action disconcerting.

Q: When I compare charts on COS (P/E 12.79 ) and VET ( P/E 21.04 I see more room for COS to improve ( being an underdog ) in spite of it being a heavy oil producer .

1.Do you have any change of thoughts on COS ... is VET a handsdown winner ?
2. Is the dividend at COS sustainable ? .
