Q: Looking for some safety if we have a serious downturn. Like others, I appreciate growing dividends and some growth. Looking to add DIS, T, WMT, OR HD to my American holdings. Do you have any major concerns with any of these companies and would you please rate them best to worst based on my investment criteria.
Have yourselves a great weekend.

Q: Hi team,

I am watching WATCH. Cramer keeps coming up with new acronyms. I think he coined FANG several years ago. Cramer likes large cap consumer names with scale. So do I. I am looking for a new name in that sector to offset my large tech holdings. I already own a full Walmart position. While I like Amazon, I still view it as trading with tech sentiment, despite its classification, and I have more than enough tech. I am not sure it should be in this grouping, but I guess Cramer needed an A. I am considering Target, which I think is back on track after its foray into Canada a few years ago. I think I missed the big run in Costco. I don’t mind buying expensive tech stocks for growth, but I am more reluctant to overpay for consumer stocks. Lastly is Home Depot and it still looks relatively attractive to me here. What is your view on adding either Target or Home Depot for growth or are there other large cap consumer names that I should consider?

Thanks again.
Dave

Q: I own both of the above and am still above water, but they are not holding up well in this current environment, so should I hold or move out.. If so do you think intc is worth pursuing or some other stock perhaps would be better going forward.
Another question HD is another stock similar position, what do you think buy,sell or hold. If buy what would you replace it with. Thanks.
