Investment Q&A

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

Q: This is a general question to try and clarify many of your answers. Often when someone asks an opinion between to similar stocks the response comes down to both for diversification. I totally agree with diversification, however you also often comment that more than 20-30 positions is not necessary or manageable. I have struggled trying to have a balanced portfolio, including some income as well as growth and including all sectors. It doesn't seem possible. But your answers do make me consider other possibilities.

Thanks, Lyle

Q: Dear Peter et al:

I understand that JPM won a case against regulators and got their SCB-Stress Capital Buffer reduced from 3.3% to 2.5%. Apparently this frees up 18 B from their reserves and they can invest it wherever they want. I understand that they have announced a share buy back (50 B) AND a dividend hike! (1.50$: 7% increase over the last time).

1. Is this true? If so, is JPM a buy over other banks/Financials? Especially BRK.B?
2. If you don't fancy JPM or BRK.B (you don't like their cash position is what I see in you previous answers), which other large financial would be your pick?

Many thanks.

Q: Lately, these 3 stocks have performed well (exceptionally well). Sometimes it is said, "let your winners run" or "don't be afraid of new highs", however I wonder if they are becoming overvalued or extended beyond what is appropriate. Do you think P/Es of AXON @ 199; SPOT @ 129; or NFLX @ 63 show they are overvalued and it is time to sell? If you think otherwise please explain why they continue good investments and should continue to be held. Many thanks for your excellent service.

Above % represents post sale. I am thinking of putting cash into BEP.UN or BIP.UN. what additional adjustments would you make at this time?

Thanks for all your help.
