Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: 1. What percentage do you advise allocating to discretionary sector.
2. Included are non-US names because of pricing power/ controlled supply. If I missed any from your favs, please add to the list.
3. Recently you answered my question on industrial stocks based on
a) core [large, defensive names]
b) high growth regardless of size
c) recent strength and positive momentum.
Applying that to my list of discretionary stocks, please rank in each category (1-3, with 1 strongest)
Thanks
Sam

Q: Can you kindly recommend any sites tracking RSI for individual stocks and whether you feel this is a good input into the decision making process of when deciding to buy an oversold stock?

Also, I notice there are timeframes for RSI (weekly, monthly etc) so how does the timeframe inform the result and help a decision to purchase an oversold stock?

Thanks as always for your guidance!

Q: I just noticed that SMH dramatically outperformed SOXX (1 year, 2 years) and i hold the latter. Perhaps b/c the former holds 19% in NVIDIA stock and ASML shows up as a holding. Why is that ? Do they have a different investment strategy?
Now i fear if i switch the trend may reverse. OR the switch is the right strategy here?
OR sell half SOXX and buy SMH looks like a right move.
So i guess this is more of a commentary: investor needs to pay attention to ETFs as well.

Q: Everyone, recently the US senate held a hearing with the largest social media companies and the politicians gave an earful from motivated politicians. Knowing that legislation takes years and the original legislation will get watered down. Will the political motivation for change (and maybe legislation) have any effect on the companies stock price in the short term? Clayton

Q: Hi guys at 5 i's

I know that nat gas prices are in the doldrums and if this mild winter continues nat gas is not going to get much of a bid. But Tourmaline TOU is getting down into the mid $50 again and the last year or more whenever it gets back down there it usually doesn't take long to go back to the mid $60's. I own a core position in TOU because of the dividends and the chance that if nat gas goes up for some reason (problems in exporting LNG from Qatar/freaky cold weather, etc.) that TOU will rock upwards. Still I am tempted to trade some additional shares of TOU. I was doing that with ARX but sold out of ARX in the $21.50 range not long ago and I am waiting for a under $20 share price on ARX to get back in. Where do you think TOU might bottom out if nat gas stays low all year because I can't see it going much below the mid $45 range.

Q: My suggested allocation for Tech is 16% but due to the amazing run up lately of the likes of Nvidia, Amazon Google and Apple, I’m now over 35%. I know how important diversification is but the momentum is almost overwhelming.
Thoughts???
