Q: I own ENGH in a taxable account with a 200% gain. I also own CSU, DSG, SHOP and ZQQ all 5 stocks with a 4% weighting. I have a long time frame and wondering if you would suggest selling ENGH and replace with what IT stock? To offset some of the 200% gain, I could sell ENB and AQN which are both below my cost base and repurchase them in 30 days.

Q: Someone from another stock discussion forum has stated that although SJ reported $0.74 EPS this was a result of a one-time $30M cash benefit, effectively making earnings $21.1M net income for Q4 rather than the reported $51.1M. Thus, without the cash benefit EPS came in at only $0.30 (below estimates of $0.31).

Is this accurate, and/or a fair way to assess the results? In light of this is it more reasonable to view today's results as more of a miss than a beat, as today's market action seems to suggest?

Q: Do you take downgrades with a grain of salt. There are constantly companies being downgraded. Does that mean if I hold a downgraded stock get rid of it because it isn't going to do much or when it goes down buy more? I hold TOY a recent downgrade and it has dropped off some - buy more, sell? Thank you very much Dennis

Q: There was a report today on BNN about fraud in the automobile body shop business. It was admittedly a very limited 'sting' operation by Aviva but a disconcerting one nonetheless. I could not find any further detail on the Aviva website as to the body shops involved and I was wondering if you could find this information and, more specifically, whether any of them are part of the Boyd Group operation?
