Q: Hi 5i team,
In response to my question on replacing BDI (tax selling) you suggested HNL. This was on Dec.10th. Two days later in response to question from Hans you suggested selling HNL due to debt levels and removal from TSX index. I am a bit puzzled there...?
I replaced BDI with HNL last Thu and now down 15% on this stock in just 3 days. Can you please confirm either one or another recommendation? I have 2% of portfolio in HNL (my O&G total 18%) and wondering whether I should keep HNL or sell it and get additional 3K loss?

Q: Hello, we are looking to both put the maximum 5500.00 in to our Tfsa accounts early in 2015. We have done well with Parkland in a registered account but am wondering whether it is heavily or overly dependent on the Alberta economy. Also considering Concordia/Currency Exchange/CCL as well. Our focus is 3 year minimum hold. Your regular comments to invest in companies rather than trade the market is very reassuring when there are sudden moves in the market. Thank you! Bill

Q: I note that in your Sept 11 review of easyhome you state that easyhome sold off 15 US corporate stores due to profitability and unfavourable economic conditions. Give the recovery to date in the U.S. economy and the weak Canadian dollar, have economic conditions changed sufficiently to cause EH to refocus at all on the U.S. market. Is Eh a buy at $19

Q: Is there any reason IT is getting hit almost twice as hard as AYA. I would think it would be the other way around. Thanks

Q: EasyHome has fell 17% in 5 days. It's trailing PE is now 15.5. There is no news I can find, so I speculate it's due to tax-loss selling. Unless they lend to people in Alberta more than anywhere else? I have a half position at a 20% loss. Would you add to the position?

Q: Good Morning 5 I Team

Doubtless you have a flood of emails regarding AYA. The news is scant but I would still appreciate your views and if you are surprised that AYA wasnt halted this morning. Also given the flood of selling this morning what are your recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

Phil

Q: I have read your responses to Amaya's recent investigations, but haven't been able to find a co-relation with Manulife. I understand that Manulife is also being investigated in relation to Amaya's purchase of PokerStars: how does it play into the scenario and what might be the repercussions for MFC? Thanks for your help.

Q: 1. If Oil prices do not recover in the next couple of years, is HNL at risk?
2. Does it have any significant debt maturing in the next 2 years that they might not be able to renew?
3. I know that you rated HNL as a C+ in October. Has your view changed in the last couple of months?
4. Would you recommend selling? It is a very small portion of my portfolio.

Thanks,
Hans
