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

Q: Following up on recent questions about PTE.
I am also very surprised by the share price weakness. Since hitting a high of $1.50 it has continued its growth path, paid off debt, signed record sales deals, had coverage initiated, been featured on several subscription services, and been subject of discussion on market call numerous times. Yet the stock seems to have lost its steam.

I realize being discussed on BNN shouldn't be a metric but it seems like PTE was on the brink of being 'discovered' only to have the stock price decline while the company continues to perform.

Are you able to comment on any recent institutional or insider buying/selling?

Thanks.

Q: As part of a diversified stock portfolio, I own all all of the stocks in the B E model with approx 2.5% position in each. I want to rebalance my fixed income to stock percentage. Because I have done well following your advice( thankyou, ) I have enough cash to either add 1 % to each stock in the B E model, or would you suggest a higher weighting in some favorite names in the B E model that you like at this time?

Q: Regarding the asset allocation of the income portfolio, what does N/A at 7.86% represent? In addition, generally speaking, where have you included CPD,CVD and XHY? If I excluded CPD, CVD and XHY and recalculated the remaining sector %'s, would the adjusted asset allocation work by substituting larger companies for some of the smaller cap names to decrease the volatility? Thanks

Q: Hello 5i

In reviewing some of my positions from a 5 year chart perspective, it is clear I have come to the 5i Party later in the game than others. I am interested in your thoughts about buying some of the 5i wonder stocks that have been money makers, at this point in the market.
The example I choose is the super run KXS has had but now, even before the recent customer issue, the stock price took a break, broke the uptrend and is now potentially faltering.

How does an investor gauge whether the party is over and protect against being the Holder of growth names for the down side of the stock run?
I have had this experience a few times in the recent years and it really eats into a Portfolio value.
There is no doubt this question highlights a low propensity for volatility and the need to keep portfolio weights in check, but what about stock prices today and buying growth stocks at level never seen before?

Thanks for the highly valued comments
Dave

Q: As stated,TOY missed estimated eps,but sales increased by 26% accompanied by sharp increase in both allowance for doubtful accounts to $9.9m & accounts receivable.It appears that there could be more write off for the account of Toy R US in future.I wonder why management did not provide details of TOY R US & its impact given that it & 2 other big companies represents a sizeable portion of sales
