Q: I'm not sure where FB stock is going. I like the business but the stock is behaving more irrational than I can make sense out of. I'm tempted to lock in my profit in for now and wait till it comes back into 170 or better.

Do you see any reasons why these two companies will increase in value over the next 30 days? I have significant losses that I could bank, but I like both for their dividends and could buy back after 30 days. Thanks

Q: I know you've made sector percentage allocation recommendations in the past (always with caveats), but i can't seem to find them. So I apologize for what will no doubt be repetitive for you. What sector allocation percentages would you recommend for a retiree with no immediate needs for cash but needing to keep things pretty conservative due to advancing age and increasing health issues? I will keep your reply on file!
