Q: I'm not sure where FB stock is going. I like the business but the stock is behaving more irrational than I can make sense out of. I'm tempted to lock in my profit in for now and wait till it comes back into 170 or better.

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!!!

Q: Sleep Country seems to be on a downhill slide. Even Amazon has got into the mattress business. What do you suggest? Wait for at least one more earnings report before selling? Seek a better opportunity now? Or just hold on for an eventual stock price recovery?

Q: Hi 5i
Do you see any reasons why these two companies will increase in value over the next 30 days? I have significant losses that I could bank, but I like both for their dividends and could buy back after 30 days. Thanks

Q: I know you've made sector percentage allocation recommendations in the past (always with caveats), but i can't seem to find them. So I apologize for what will no doubt be repetitive for you. What sector allocation percentages would you recommend for a retiree with no immediate needs for cash but needing to keep things pretty conservative due to advancing age and increasing health issues? I will keep your reply on file!
