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

Q: In the 15 June 2015 Interim Financial Statements/report, there is a loss for the period of $ (28,336).

The next section attributes this loss to two entities:
Non-controlling interest $ 3,062

Can you explain who/what the non-controlling interest is, and why they make money in the quarter? Thanks Cameron

Q: Hi Peter,

After reaching a new high several weeks ago, Boyd seems to be dropping quite steadily including today. I would expect that they would benefit from growing operations in the us but is this a general reaction to everything paying a dividend or did I miss some report or analyst downgrade on the stock.

Thanks

Q: How concerned are you regarding new revelation that a long standing director has resigned. Of note is the timing just before clarification on mortgage originations as well as no reassuring comments from the director involved. I feel it's too late to sell now but this seems like more worrisome news. Thanks for your comments.

Q: With all the bad publicity and now an important director resignation would you think it wise to place a stop loss on the stock and around what price would you place it?
Thank you

Q: Douglas Porter suggests (see quote below) that the very weak dollar will cause inflation to rise and consumer spending to fall. In terms of those 2 themes, I am wondering which of the 5i stable of equities you expect to benefit most and least. A couple of examples would be a great help.
Many Thanks
Mike

“As opposed to the somewhat mixed picture for business, there is no ambiguity about how a weaker currency affects Canadian consumers — it is bad news, period,” he says.

“Ironically, a weak currency is probably a bigger risk to Canadian consumers than the perennial bogeyman of record household debt.”
