Q: Hey 5I

Seeing how PRL is in a bit of a spiral for all the reasons you've recently mentioned, I am contemplating selling PRL and buying EQB with a plan to but back into PRL when it turns around. What do you think?

Q: I'm getting mixed messages from 5i regarding EQB . In several answers you have it as recommended buy ...... But in a reply to Adam on Aug. 28/25 you make the following statement . ...... " But with some overall economic concerns continuing it is also hard to foresee a big recovery in the next several quarters as well. "

This suggests it will be dead money for a while .... Looking at your report on the company it appears that circumstances have changed . In your " Valuation " section you make the following statement .....

" Management noted that with the recent and expected easing of interest rates, EQB is seeing signs of renewed mortgage activity and strong loan growth momentum is expected going into 2025. " ...... Well that didn't happen ...... Are you planning to update that report in the near future ? ....

I own shares { in a RRIF } and am in a bit of a quandary on why I shouldn't sell in favour of greener pastures ..... So please explain to me how I should evaluate holding or selling ? .........Thanks for your terrific service .....
