Q: I have been following this company for the last couple of weeks, & they supposedly have had several companies sign on to their product line. The stock has gone from approx. $1.00 to $.15 cents, with my limited understanding for financial statements it appears revenue has gone up considerably. What don't I understand here.? I understand this is a very risky stock, but I still am interested, but cautious. Do you have any suggestions how to get further information on their sales or patent, or anything else you can supply me with would be greatly appreciate.
Thank you very much for your great service

Q: The stock options announced today seems very generous given the stocks history and current trading price.
Should I be concerned about this?
I currently hold 1% position.
Thanks

Q: My question is on over diversification - or indexing. My personal portfolio is over 8 figures. I currently hold 44 stocks spread accross the various sectors as shown below.

Technology 17%, Consumer Cyclical (Discretionary) 15%, Financial Services 15%, Industrials 11%, Consumer Defensive (Staples) 10%, Basic Materials, Metals, Mining 8%, Healthcare 8%, Communications / Telecom 5%, Energy 5%, Real Estate 3%, Utilities 3%.

The stock choices within are the BE portflio plus some top picks. With a portfolio of this size, my mind is having a hard time dropping the portfolio down to 20 stocks. I guess it is all relative. In your experience as a fund manager how many stocks are about right? I have adopted your style of buying a stock and holding it until the story has changed.

Thank you

Q: These 3 companies are in my Basic Materials, Metals, Mining sector which makes up 8% of my portfolio. With a five year plus hold, would you add, swap or remove any of them and if so could you rank your choices; 1st place, 2nd place, and participant?

Thank you for your help and sharing your inside knowledge and actual experience.

Q: What do you make of the most recent earnings announcement and why is the liquidity so thin? I would have thought that after several years of growth and profitability the institutional market would have been interested in picking up some ownership from the tightly owned group. My other question is why would Bennett who appears to own over 63% of the company list it if he is not willing to distribute stock to others, isn't that a very costly venture to list a company public for no other reason that to see its name listed (sarcasm here!)
