Q: Hello Peter,
I read your article on 'smaller' US stocks and have been keeping an eye and buying some of your recommendations.
Since then, CGNX has gone up quite a bit. With decent enough results this quarter it has zoomed. It was very expensive P/E multiple to begin with and now even more. But on the other hand, tech stocks are on fire and there is no indication of a slow down.
I am hesitating between CGNX and FLIR, which has also done well. Two different businesses. Where would you suggest I put the money? Or should I wait out the summer for a correction and maybe sector shifts?
Thank you in advance for your opinion.
Regards

Q: Now that we have all the bad news out of the way, can a case be made for holding Cineplex for the longterm, ignoring the current price fluctuation? I had a "stink bid" placed ahead of earnings announcement and I never thought it would hit. At first I felt extremely fortunate. Now I'm reading all of the doomsday articles on Cineplex's future.
So we all know that Cineplex has to, and is diversifying to other avenues other than just movie theaters.
Questions:
Can the company diversify fast enough?
Can the company sustain the (hopefully growing) dividend?
Are you comfortable with their balance sheet?
Is a 3% holding too much for a longterm dividend growth investor who rarely sells?
Thanks.

Q: Hello Folks:
I have owned GE in our portfolio for a number of years however am disenchanted with it's performance, and have limited hope of a shorter term fix, because of it's complexity and size. I do not own any teck stocks and considering google or microsoft. Allowing I am 70 years of age would I be foolish to go with google, even with it not having a dividend. I feel google has much more upside.
Thanks for everything
brian
