Q: re: Element Financial EFN

Hi 5i team

I saw your answer for Rod when you replied;

"We are very comfortable with the credit quality and management of Element."

I've been watching EFN for some time. As of today it is below it's 50 day average.

I was wondering what you see moving forward considering their recent purchase of PHH?

FYI... Bruce Campbell on May 2nd ($13.13) had it as one of his top picks.

Thanks for all you do

Gord

Q: I was stunned to see that Sun Life tops a list of Corporate Canada's mountains of cash - a recent Globe and Mail piece - with $6 bb. Could you speculate what they might do with it? Hopefully not purchase a US mutual fund like Great West did with Putnam! On the subject of lifeco's I stumbled across an ad for a class action lawsuit with Manulife, the stock that was touted to be as safe as houses. If you purchased shares between 2004 and 2009 - which I did - you should register here http://www.classaction.ca. It's free to join.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
I recently purchased more shares of GS for my husbands RRSP during it's recent pullback at $28.46 as all the research I have done indicates that it is a good stable company with good growth, dividend and the potential for additonal special dividends or take. I was pleasantly surprised to see the bounce it today to $31.66 on the reported news that they were acquring another firm. I would like your opinion on this acquisition and would you continue to hold this stock? I know you like to hold for the long term but a 11% return in 11 days is tempting unless you see further upside.
Thanks for all the sound advice you provide.

Q: I recently purchased Fiera (FSZ) but it has been on a fairly steady decline for the past month. Are you still comfortable with your rating, and might this be a good chance to pick up some extra shares 'on sale'?
Thanks, Bob

Q: EQI Equity Financial just reported the results from their AGM. Looks like we all voted with Smoothwater and now S. Griggs is the new COB. Can you sum up where you see this puts the stock at this time and set up what the future may look like?

TIA

Q: Hi Peter,

Very much appreciate the Q and A service.

Would you recommend selling GMP to buy FSZ for a long term hold? Which one offers the best prospects for dividend growth and capital appreciation?

Thank so much.

Q: (From Greg)
Scotiabank is selling its CIX (CI Financial) holding at a price of $31.60 in a just-announced secondary offering. Given that CIX closed today at $33.65, this seems to be a very good deal. What is your opinion? Should I commit to this offering through my broker (no transaction fees), or will the market price of CIX likely decline to meet this price anyway in the next few days?
