Q: Hi,
We have owned PHO for many years and I was planning on adding it. However over the past 5 years it has been rather choppy and not as consistent compared to xylem. Should we stay with PHO or switch into a different water stock? If you were me what would be your top choice in this sector? Looking for growth and consistency with 10 year plus time frame. Thanks
Kerri

Q: Thanks to your recommendations I have a nice profit on Itron. I have been looking at Energizer (ENR) and it seems to have good projected upside for the next year and also yields a modest 2.2% dividend. Do you think a switch from ITRI to to ENR would be a good move at this time? Why or why not? Thanks.

Q: Greetings 5i,

Why is Ford so out of favour? 5.5% div and near 52 week and 5 year lows. With the current Trade concerns is it perhaps oversold? I certainly like the product.

Cheers!

Q: Hi 5i,
B&G Foods has been on a downward trajectory for awhile now. I know there is debt but is the situation that bad? The divided is nice but should I let this one go and move on. My portfolio is well diversified but I don't like to trade if I don't need to.
Thanks,

Q: I'm down about 12% on FB. I still like the company fundamentally but it keeps dropping and it seems like every negative announcement makes it drop another 3 to 5%. Do you think I should get out? My concern is that even the company is financially strong the negative momentum and news will just drive it down to where its a huge up hill battle for me to get back what I've lost. Do you think this will drag on for years? Would a good q1 be able to turn things around or is the negative publicity too much? Thanks

Looking at stepping into CVS as a short term ( 3 month max) trade. With some of the volatility in the stock it would seem undervalued and has demonstrated an ability to adjust to their market conditions over the long haul. Your thoughts?
