Q: Hi 5i can you give me some understanding of this company. according to TD Web it trades at a PE of 5,div of 15.6% with earnings of 1.91/share - it has traded in the $9-$10 range for some time. for income investors what are the risks - rising interest rates? payout ratio of 89% too high or D/C of 60% too risky - maybe no growth or are they just returning my capital would appreciate your knowledgeable views thanks Paul

Q: Your answer to Marilyn,Feb 20, regarding a CXI financial issue
raised more questions. Will the stock price pullback to 26 or 27 $ area? Is this not what usually happens when a company makes a "new issue" below current price? If this deal "allows larger investors to get in" as you suggest, could they possibly snap up the new issue price in some kind of dark pool; thus leaving out any possibility of a pullback that retail investors
could participate in? If the stock price for CXI does go down to $26 or 27, I think it would be a great buy opportunity - do you agree? Thankyou. I really enjoy the Q&A......Lionel

Q: CXI announced a new issue today at 26.75, with some interesting conditions I have not seen before. It is to be held for 4 months and then trade on a restricted basis for 12 months. Can you explain this?
Thanks so much,

Q: genworth mic continues to drop - is it a screaming buy at these levels or would it be chasing a falling knife. Is there something fundamentally wrong with this company, or just some overreaction. Is it a buy hold or sell at these levels. It is currently 1.5% of my portfolio. Thanks for any advice you can give.

Q: I read your updated report on HCG and agree that this is a great company. However, the NIM, EPS growth and ROE have all been declining as the yield curve has become more flat and competition for mortgage business has increased. Do you see this as a short term issue or more or a longer term problem?

Thanks,
Hans

Q: I looked up previous questions and answers on CHW and the last was Jan. 22nd. Just wondering if you know of anything new that is causing the constant decline, or is it still mostly the US dollar component? Thank you!

Q: HCG is down over 20% since i bought it in July. It's in my TFSA, so I can't do a tax loss sell. The questions is, should I just wait it out and hope for the best? I understand the question is basically not how much I've lost, or even whether or not i can recover it, but whether the ( seriously reduced) money would be better off somewhere else. Thoughts?

Q: Hello Peter & Co,
Terrific results: Revenue up 36%, Net Operating Income up 64% and Net Income up 29% year over year; what's better is that the previous year was 13-months long (change of fiscal year).
I just bought a full position on January 21, 2015 and I'm already up some 22%.
What is your take on its outlook?
Thanks,
Antoine
