Q: Hi 5i,
My NVDA has doubled since buying ealier this year (thanks!). Do you think I should sell half to buy some INTC now that they are getting into the GPU market as well? (I also hold TXN, PHO in the chip space and many other tech names so am quite diversified). I am just wondering if INTC might have better growth rates than NVDA or if NVDA is a bit priced to perfection right now.

Thanks!

Q: A while ago you had an article on various pair trades. One of them was short MAT and go long TOY. I was already long TOY so added MAT as a short as I wanted to add a little downside protection to an otherwise balanced portfolio. It was working for a while until the merger/takeover talk. Should I cover my short on MAT, or wait to see if the deal goes through? Do you see MAT raising further in price if the deal goes through?

Q: Good morning from fabulous and sunny Palm Desert, California! Could you please give me an opinion on Liberty Expedia. Is this the time to buy for future growth, or do you see something wrong with the stock? I tend to buy companies that I use, if I think the timing is right, and see this as an alternative to Priceline.

So glad your site is back up and running. I missed you like I miss my luggage!

Thanks, Susan

Q: Hi, Wondering if you are able to provide any general thoughts on holding SEMUF (Siem Industries) in a portfolio for O&G/Shipping exposure. My thesis for owning has been to get in well below book value in a company that is run by management that has compounded over the long term (Kristian Siem). My concern is with lack of liquidity but plan to hold long term. Just wondering if you have any general thoughts or considerations or concerns in this type of name?

Q: Talk of a dividend cut has been circulating for a while. Down $9 bucks a share on this behomoth! Is this what the street will be happy with--a dividend cut so that they can start growing? Would you hang on for an eventual turnaround or buy something (suggestion?) similar industry but growing. Thanks.

Q: What is your opinion on QYLD for US tech exposure. Management fee is a .60% with a 7.4% yield. I know I'm capping the upside with the covered calls but if there is such a thing as a " Sleep at night " stock in the " tech " sector. Would this be one ? Also for a one stop shop for the rest of the US would VIG be a good choice or do you have another preference ?

Q: I wish I had taken you more seriously in September when you said that Newell is "in general is not a company we would be overly interested in."
Now, based on your recent comments, and it's disaster quarterly report, I am ready to sell and lick my wounds. Would you agree?
Can you give a couple of suggestions for replacement in the consumer goods or health care space. I am looking for growth alone or growth plus income.
Thanks in advance for your great advice.

Q: I own Apple, Amazon, Facebook and Google plus others. The four stocks have done extremely well for me. I have reviewed the charts for each stock and they go from bottom left to top right; the 200 day moving average looks great, the stocks touch the line and then moves higher; the top line and eps are getting better all the time; they are all spending significantly on RD for the next AI or AR or self driving cars or whatever; and they are dominate in their respective industries to name a few comments.
What gets in their way to make them stumble? Is this or these event(s) soon?

I can’t see a reason to sell or trim.

Thanks as always.

Clayton.
