Q: Hi 5i: Previous governance issues aside, it seems to me that Enercare’s management is looking like a combination of clever and lucky. Presumably they were working on the details of the announced business acquisition from Direct Energy for the past few months, while watching the ECI share price working its way above the $12 level. They get to a deal they like the look of: immediately accretive to earnings and growing the business in a reasonably logical way. While all that is going on they get an overture from TSSP with a low-end valuation of $13.50 and when that news is released their currency for the Direct Energy business purchase (i.e. their share price) jumps up above 13.50 and they immediately sell out a $310mm financing at $13 per share to fund it. Now that Direct Energy deal is looking just that much more affordable and hence that much better; they have a bunch of new shareholders in at $13 and expecting a profit from that level; and they just made ECI into an even more valuable entity to sell to TSSP or whoever else may be interested. Initially they had responded to TSSP by saying we aren’t even interested in talking to you at $15 per share (which appears to have been a number TSSP put into the conversation). So where does it go from here? Would you consider it to be a good idea to add to a partial position (about 3%) at the current market price? To balance out my little sketch, can you please highlight the main risks for investors? Thanks!
Q: Dhx has received approval from the Crtc. Have they got the cash to buy the family channel or do you foresee another financing?
Q: I awoke this morning to find our CSS was being sold. I jumped on line to see the increase in share price. Wow talk about lunch bag let down 5% premium on the recent share price seems extremely light. Like other 5i members I am concerned. ps who cares about a 52 weeks avg share price. It seems the executive of CSS have sold out and abandoned the shareholders. Listening on line to the Transforce call they seem very happy with the deal of course. The commentators on BNN were positive from a Transforce perspective. Where is the voice of the CSS shareholders? Sorry for the rant, am I off base? Is there a trend for light buy out prices the BA price seemed a little light and CSS's price seems very light. Is this because there is not enough competition in Canada for these companies. mike

Q: Enercare (ECI) Subscription Receipts
As a current shareholder of Enercare (last traded before being halted on TSX @13.91) would you advise placing an 'Expression of Interest' for the "Subscription Receipts" at $13.00? Or is it better to wait until the closing and buy on the open market?

I'm retired and looking to diversify my portfolio. Income and growth have equal weightings and I prefer to hold a quality stock indefinitely. At this time I'm considering Brookfield Infrastructure (BIP.UN)or Stella-Jones (SJ}. I'd appreciate your comments comparing these two companies. Thanks

Q: Peter
I have $55,000 in Bell Alliant(BA), $80,000 in B.C.E. and $30,000 in Telus which is approximately 8.5% of the equity portion of my portfolio . I will incur approximately a $10,000 capital gain if I sell Bell Alliant as opposed to exchanging shares for B.C.E. as per recent proposal. Alternatively, if I sold Bell Alliant, I could put the funds into Telus to provide more balance. What are your thoughts on this? Is 8.5% too high a concentration in telecommunications, given our present government's continuous threat to shakeup or shakedown the industry?

Q: I have owned Enghouse (ESL) for several months and while it has not shown any price growth I know that you are quite high on the stock. However, you seem to equally like Evertz (ET) for many of the same reasons you like ESL but given that ET pays a healthy dividend , I was wondering if I should switching from ESL to ET.
Looking forward to your insight.
