Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi Peter and Staff:
More of a comment than anything else . First a thank you - I would not have hung in for such a large gain if you had not been comfortable enough to leave it in your portfolio.
I do wish that other than situations like Concordia where you decide you cannot stay in due to a bad situation that you would not drop good companies unless you added your replacement at the same time - I follow your strategy of not sitting in cash - When you toss a stock from your portfolio without a replacement despite comments you make that there is nothing wrong , I think you leave us scratching our heads as to why you feel it is so important to drop it to sit in cash . For one thing you may add a stock that we already own so we would not have sold ADW or you may add one we are not 100 percent sold on and would only sell 1/2 of Adw and buy the replacement for a 1/2 entry .
Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: Good morning,
If I sell ADW.A (which I am tempted to do) as I am trying to follow the Income Portfolio as well as the Bal. Eq. Portfolio I will need about a 5% ($35000) position in another equity to replenish the Consumer Staples sector. Currently hold ATD.B, DOL, L, and PBH. Thanks as always for your insightful responses.
Ted
