Q: I am a retired Dividend-Income investor and need to bump up my asset allocation in the Industrial-Tech sector.

I have narrowed it down to WSP and ET from your Income portfolio. ET looks good but seems fairly illiquid. WSP appears to have better metrics than ET (P/BV, P/Sales, upside based on Globefund summaries), but the beta is a little higher. Additionally, RBC has WSP as overvalued.

I like to give a stock time to run and have a healthy dividend. What are your thought on buying WSP vs ET at this time?

Thanks for your great service.

Q: This is more of a comment than a question, although I would be interested in knowing what drove the action yesterday - extremely unusual for any stock. It started with a huge gap down, no doubt in response to their earnings. Then, wow! It took off with volumes 5 times the 100 day MA. My first response was, as other correspondents, to sell. But the four analysts available on the Scotia iTrade website are all on the positive side, agreeing with you at 5i. And since I am not a trader but an investor, I am holding on. Something positive seems to be in the works.

Q: Hi 5i Team
Referring to my question of November 13th... should I invest in TMA, QST or increase DHX or SGY or another higher dividend paying but low share valued stock to diversify sectors?
Thanks for your guidance.

Q: Hello 5i team

Long term holder... have been reading comments in the forum but have not had the opportunity to see anything accounting for the 9% drop in share value since 60 days ago. Obviously the market correction probably accounts for some of that... anything else going on? Does the upcoming split have something do with this?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Hi, This is more of a trading comment to supplement your response to Steven's question about Cineplex weakness at the open, yesterday. I did not like the results too and sold half of my longtime position at open. But bought back 0.75 higher within a few minutes when noticed strength. I usually place a counter Buy order at a slightly lower price and watch, if I like a co. long term (like Cineplex). It has helped many times. Thanks

Q: In response to Steven's question on Cineplex (cgx), Patrick Horan, who has been short Cineplex since at least August, mentioned on BNN, that the CEO of Cineplex stated the possibility of acquiring Carmike Cinemas as one option available to create shareholder value. Horan thinks this is what caused the spike in Cineplex, yesterday.

I'm not certain I believe that narrative but I started researching US cinemas and it seems like quite a few publicly traded cinemas, in the US, are posturing about making acquisitions or putting themselves up for sale (Regal Entertainment, Cinemark etc.).

So perhaps it was takeover speculation in the sector that partially fuelled Cineplex's move yesterday.

Q: Hi Guys,

AHF is down to 86 cents today. Do you still rate it a B-?

Do you know how much of the company is owned by insiders in total and by Mr. Ben Cheng in particular?

Are they keeping clients?

Thanks
John

Q: Is RDM competing with with DH? Who else competes with RDM? This seems like a very large space but RDM has very small revenue. Does RDM have a strong competitive advantage?
