Q: Greetings! What do you think of Helen of Troy as a growth stock? Ford Equity Research rates it as a "BUY". Is it over=priced? And, can you suggest a couple of other US stocks for fairly rapid growth?
Q: Hi 5i:
I have not specifically bought any stocks as a play on US housing, but I'm thinking it may be time to do so. For possibilities I'm looking at Canadian lumber stocks, US home builders and US banks as sectors from which to chose. Do you have any advice? Of the US banks I've heard WFC suggested as the best housing play. Would you agree?
Q: Would this be a good time to initiate a position in GE now that they are refocusing the company and dispensing of a variety of divisions. Thanks as ever
Q: Stock has been acting poorly since they bought their sister company MOB recently. Thought this would make this a stronger co. not a weaker one. Comments please?
I have had exceptional success in buying positions in all 3 portfolios and to date have almost a full complement.
In the growth portfolio the following stocks got away from me, didn't seem to correct and therefore I don't yet hold. They are. GIX,PEO,CDV, and QHR.
I'm not asking you predict the future, so let me put it this way.... If you were in this position would you say to hell with it and buy at market open today or would you exercise patience as I have done to date and simply put in a bid and leave it there.
Q: Hi Team, I hold full positions in the above ETF's , do you think there is a bit of overlap between VV and VIG? If so , any recommended alternatives. Thanks for your expertise and wise counsel.
Q: With memories of Northern Telecom being such a significant portion of TSX just before the start of its demise, I get nervous when I see Valeant becoming so large.
I remind myself that it is also traded in US, and that there are many larger cap drug companies.
I would value your comments.
Q: with phms announcement today of its latest deal and when it closes they will have adjusted ebita of 44 million with about 236 million shares outstanding, my question is the stock seems cheap by any metric. am i right or wrong. dave
Q: Hi 5I: currently my portfolio holds only Canadian growth stocks. We feel that we are missing US growth, so therefore would appreciate your help. With 150K (Canadian) to invest, could you give 4 or 5 suggestions that we might enjoy the same measure of growth and dividends we get from the model portfolio.
