Q: I would like to respond to Paul F`s question regarding the best time of the day to make a trade and as well look for some sort of logic as to what happened to Currency Exchange`s SP price since yesterday. I have been following your recommendation on this stock for several weeks now, but was leery on it as it does not offer a dividend. I finally could not resist buying into the growth expectations of CXI and decided to buy. CXI closed at $32.98 on Friday and opened yesterday around $33.00 with upward momentum. As per the strategy that you have communicated, I held off until 11:00 AM before placing an order. The quoted price at that point on BMO Investorline was roughly $33.40. Due to the live time delay of ½ hour, I unknowingly had the distinction of being probably one of a few people who bought at the record high of roughly $34.70. The SP then immediately took a tailspin and finished the day at $31.70. At the time of this writing the SP is now $29.47. I have owned the stock for less than 24hours and am down over 15%. My big mistake was not setting a price limit and as a result availing myself to the mercy of the bid-ask process. This negative however pales in comparison to the precipitous fall of the SP in such a short timeframe. I am looking for any amount of salve to heal my wounds but am more interested in sharing this with other newer investors who may learn from my mistake. In my own defence, I have to say that I did not expect this kind of volatility from a stock such as this. Caveat Emptor, I guess. Thank you.

Q: With the increased limits for the TFSA I was thinking of either increasing my holding in CXI,currently 1.8% of my total portfolio OR using the $9000 (my TFSA and my wive's) and buying EFN.However if I did this it would mean EFN would only be about .5% of my total portfolio and in a recent portfolio review you felt that anything less than 1% wasn't worth while.Other holdings in our TFSA's include DSG/ESL/SYZ/CGX/ENB.All are over 1% with ESL the highest at 2.9% of my total portfolio.Any advice is greatly appreciated.Thanks Paul

Q: It was discussed on BNN yesterday by Jerome Haas "BNN effect". Like 5i, he feels it has good prospects for growth ahead. I haven't watched it but I believe he made a comment saying it could be a $50 stock within 12 months. In the past, I believe he also said it could be a $1B company in the future which based on market cap would put it at $150/share.

"CXI is a wholesale provider of foreign currency services to financial institutions such as banks, credit unions, and trust companies. It’s a low-risk, high-growth business, and I think it has the potential to be something very big. The market has only started to awoke to the growth potential ahead of CXI, driving up the stock by about 135 percent in the last 12 months. FY2014 numbers were fantastic: sales and EBITDA both grew 40 percent year-over-year. Management is confident that they can grow the business organically at a 30 percent rate over the next few years. We believe they will be able to exceed that rate over the next 3 years; 50 percent growth is not out of the question. Still not a well-known story; another ‘uncrowded’ trade; only three sell-side Analysts cover the stock."

Q: Hi Peter and the Team,

CBC Radio had an interesting segment this morning that dealt with the aftermath of the Bangladesh clothing factory disaster. I was pleased to see that Gildan takes their corporate responsibility very seriously as outlined in this link:

Q: WiLan's Q1 estimate of 5 cents (3 analysts avg.) is a far cry from last year's 14 cents, and revenue of $20.3M below $26M. What is causing such a reduction in expected numbers, is it legal fees and the Apple suit as suggested in your 2014 report, or is this company just shrinking? I guess any big beat could cause a good lift off the bottom of the chart, so I'm wondering if I should add to a small position as the 6.8% yield is tempting. Do you agree with the analyst numbers? Thanks, J.
