Q: Hi 5i Team - I have been reading your responses to questions on CTS Technologies and am still not sure of whether this is a stock to hold on to. You mentioned in one response that the net debt is $320 but said that it has a healthy balance sheet in another response. Is the debt a concern? Small revenue growth is expected over the next few years but strong earnings growth is expected after this year. This appears to be a contradiction but perhaps not - could you please explain. Maybe I have not read this correctly. Also it was made clear that a long time frame is needed. Would this be three to five years - or more. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i Team,

I'm looking to sell the following 12 stocks in my cash account to crystallize some losses in anticipation of better buying opportunities in the fall: BNTX, CAE, CHTR, CIEN, CJT, CTS, DIS, FNF, GNRC, HAS, TEAM, and YETI.

For each of these stocks, could you please indicate: HOLD; SELL; or SELL + RE-BUY (with suggested proxy).

Feel free to deduct as many credits as you see fit.

Thanks in advance for your always helpful advice!

Q: Hi 5i,
CTS closed at $3.35 yesterday a couple of days after its quarterly results came out.
WELL meanwhile closed at $5.30 yesterday, the day before this morning's release of its latest quarterly results.
I own both and I'm down substantially on CTS and down somewhat on WELL. I'm feeling optimistic about the latter, not so much about the former.
I wonder if you could do a quick side-by-side QUANTITATVE comparison of the two and, based on that, advise if you think the present price discrepancy between them is justified by the underlying numbers, or if it it's based on sentiment. If the latter, what are your thoughts on a turn around in the perception of CTS, and where might it be price wise if it wasn't in the doghouse? (I wonder if yesterday's 23% gain for CTS could be meaningful ...?)
Thanks!
Peter
