Q: Hello Folks:
I have owned GM for a time and this investment has lost 20% of it’s value.
Do you think there are better options in U.S. industrials ?
Also a friend suggests I attend a vector vest meeting with him... do you feel this system has value.... I am not an active trader tending to buy and hold stocks?
I most appreciate your great service!!!
Brian

Q: Hello, what do you think of Foot Locker (FL) right now? If you had to choose between Nike and Foot Locker as an investment in the US cyclical sector, which one would that be and why? Comment: I have tried to look up FL in the company profile section but just can't find it, there must be something I don't do correctly? Thanks, Gervais

Q: I've been a long time (over 10 years) owner of NLY and have added to the position several times. I'm considering adding to it again. The dividend is very high but they seem able to handle it. I had thought they would benefit from rising interest rates in the states but they seemed unaffected as the rates rose. My adviser says that it likely doesn't appreciate in price due to the fact that many investors just don't understand their business. I would be happy if all I ever made on this was the current dividend.
Do you have any insight here?

Q: HI 5i,

Concerning American banking system, rumors are that under the Trump governance, some banks have gone back to the same financial strategies as before the financial crisis of 2008.

Q: Regarding Square, I encountered it twice in as many days recently. One was by a guy renting wet suits from his van at the beach. The other was a girl who runs her own small gift shop in Nova Scotia. I can see where it would continue to grow. It's so easy for both the business and the customer to do a transaction.

Q: greetings - many of the small businesses i know that use square say it is very expensive on a per use basis and if they had a cheaper alternative they would switch. What prevents someone like Visa from entering this space with their own product?Smaller merchants are extremely sensitive to costs so i would expect any 'cheaper' aletnative could erode either their profitability or their client base. Have you seen anything that addresses this issue.
