Q: Hi team,

Is the worst over for HCG and CRH? Or it is better to stay away for a bit longer?

If you had money to invest would you consider any of them at this time and what weight would you give it? Or would you put the money in another stock? Like what?

I am a growth investor and can take on moderate risk.

Thanks as always!

Q: Two quick questions: I see AVO is halted this morning. Any idea what might be up? For KXS, what do you see happening in the short term. Is the story still intact/anything to be worried about? Is this a buying opportunity to complete a full position?

Q: Can you please comment on the earnings for $WSP. Thanks Valter

Q: With the latest news about CBL and the big drop in stock price, what do you suggest a shareholder do (if anything)? Can this company be trusted? They report earnings Thursday after the close but can we believe what they say? I stayed "patient" with DH, Concordia, and HCG only to add to the initial losses. Do you think they can recover from this even if it is shown that no fraud has occurred? As usual, your thoughts please.
Thank you
