Q: I recently took a half position in TPK in the low 6's. I'm hoping for growth plus a solid dividend.
Today they reported earnings. Sounds like a strong Q4 helped salvage the year.
I'm curious on your thoughts given their recent report.
Is this a good long term hold? (5+)
Is the dividend safe/could it grow?
What is the payout ratio?
Should I add to my position at these levels or wait?
Thanks!

Q: I have losses between 55% and 33% on the following list of stocks. DH 55%, PIH 48%, TPK 46%, CAM 33%. My regret is not so much in the losses but rather not having the good sense of using stop loss orders. Would you appreciate your opinion regarding stop loss orders and if you would continue to hold these stocks. With thanks, Bill

Q: The theme of this questions is the potential for rising coffee prices and how it may affect the companies I have listed.

I have been watching the iPath Bloomberg Coffee Subindex (JO) and it has me concerned enough to trim some of my position in SBUX and I am also curious to know if you think this is something investors in PHB and TPK need to worry about. Thanks.

Q: In 2016 I had significant realized capital gains as I sold off shares to re-balance my portfolio. Currently I am in a loss position with the above mentioned companies. I was thinking of selling shares in these six companies to help offset the realized capital gains. Which of these shares do you think I should buy back after 30 days to avoid the superficial capital loss? Normally I would not be selling them, but for tax purposes I am contemplating doing so. AAPL makes up a significant part of my Info Technology sector and GILD is my only exposure to the health care sector. If I do not buy back the other four companies it will not impact my asset mix in my portfolio significantly. Is this the right time of year to do tax loss selling for these companies?

Thank you
