Q: Hi Team
According to portfolio analytics I need to increase my industrial weighting by 7%. At present I have AMAT, CNR and LRCX. CNR is the largest weighting here.
At present my portfolio is 7% Industrials and I should be at 14%.
I also own ZSP and XIU but I am not sure if analytics accounts for the specific sector weights there when it figures out your weighting or if it only counts as a broad spectrum diversification.
Which stocks would you recommend adding. This is a non registered account.
Thanks for your help.

Q: Two companies so please go ahead and take two credits to allow for a detailed reply for each.

DMTK: Any life in this? I have always loved the idea of accurate, non-invasive skin cancer detection but this has not done well. Is there upside at current levels or is it likely to be bought out? It's hard to see how the tech is not more widely adopted by doctors.

NVCR: What happened to this one? Problem with their technology or just not producing numbers to keep Wall St. happy? Any upside given the extreme pullback?

Q: Just venting here, post if you wish but I have been an investor for many years and have a list of successes and of course disappointments..strange though that my biggest surprises to the downside have been companies based out of Montreal..just finding that management there seems to lack credibility

Q: Hi Team,
Can I have your thoughts on nvei earnings? Currently the market is not happy with them and SP is dropping like a stone. In the release I see the net earnings have collapsed due to what appears to be interest payments on debt. This being said; what would possess them to start giving out a cash dividend when net income is almost now zero? Wouldn't the money be better spent trying to pay the debt down that is now sinking their net earnings? It seems even though revenue is building and even though they keep adding new customers they just can't get their earnings to improve. Is it time to dump this name or hold out for better days, or perhaps a takeout?

Shane.
