Q: Greetings! What do you think of Helen of Troy as a growth stock? Ford Equity Research rates it as a "BUY". Is it over=priced? And, can you suggest a couple of other US stocks for fairly rapid growth?

Q: Hi 5i:
I have not specifically bought any stocks as a play on US housing, but I'm thinking it may be time to do so. For possibilities I'm looking at Canadian lumber stocks, US home builders and US banks as sectors from which to chose. Do you have any advice? Of the US banks I've heard WFC suggested as the best housing play. Would you agree?

Q: Hi 5I: currently my portfolio holds only Canadian growth stocks. We feel that we are missing US growth, so therefore would appreciate your help. With 150K (Canadian) to invest, could you give 4 or 5 suggestions that we might enjoy the same measure of growth and dividends we get from the model portfolio.

Q: Greetings,

I bought a half position in this US Online bank about 6 months ago and it continues to chug ahead. Understanding that you don't foucs on US stocks, would you comment on the company and given the track record, is this a good time to fill out my position. I frequently travel to the San Francisco Bay area and hear many people speaking about the company as their bank of choice.

Thanks
