Q: Just a suggestion: think it would also be helpful to have questions that are related to US stocks show up when you search for the ".US" field, if possible. Right now, they only show up when you search for the specific symbol name. Not sure how easy this could be to incorporate, but thought I would ask. Thanks!

Q: What do you think of CA Inc? It seems to trade at a good multiple, have reasonable debt levels and pays a good dividend. However technically its been looking weak since I bought it and earnings growth seems to be slowing, although this could be temporary problem. Would you regard it as a sell? Are there better places to put my money in the same space?

Q: Hello 5i!
I would like to get your opinion on Omega Protein Corp (OME:US) on the NYSE. The company trades near book value, a trailing P/E of 8, and appears to be growing quite nicely. Why is this stock so cheap? Would you recommend it for a 6-12 month position?
Thanks

Q: Please let me have your thoughts on Lockheed Martin Corp. LMT.NYSE.US. The dividend is reasonable, but I don't know whether it is growing and although the share price has moved up in the last year, is it likely to rise going forward?

Learning so much here. Thank you.

Q: re: 3D Systems DDD

"Yesterday, the company announced that it will offer 5.95 million shares of common stock in a public offering. Furthermore, the underwriter has the option to buy 892,500 additional shares in the 30 days after the offering."

We all know this sector has a future. The market did not like this announcement. Could this move be for acquisition purposes? And if so, what would this mean moving forward? Any other comments are appreciated.

Thanks for all you do

Q: Hello Peter, Weyerhaeuser, WY-N, is in the process of splitting off it's real estate holdings which are to combine with it's subsidiary Tri Pointe Homes TPH-N. It appears to be a fairly convoluted transaction. From a growth perspective, does it make more sense to convert the WY shares to the ultimate WRECO shares or keep the now less diluted WY shares.

Q: Hi Peter and 5iResearch team,
Can you please provide an update on Hewlett, HPQ-N. I would appreciate your analysis on its progress with respect to its turnaround strategy, valuation and would you buy it. It was highly recommended by Lorne Steinberg (?spelling) on BNN this morning. He also highly recommended Cisco, CSCO-O. Do you prefer Cisco over Hewlett at this time, or neither for a LT strategy? Thank you. Linda
