Q: Hi. LBS just announced a preliminary short form prospectus! What does that mean exactly? The stock price fell and had much more trading volume.

Q: Peter, Lana & Team,

I am rounding out a 15% financial sector weighting. My existing holdings are approximately 2% for each of: Sun Life, Home Capital, TD, Scotia, Fiera and JP Morgan (12% total thus far). I have 3% left that I want to throw behind some small cap names, and have shortlisted the following 5i favourites: Firstservice corp, Tri-con, Element Financial, Rifco and CI Financial.

Questions:
1. Would you throw 1% behind 3 names, or 1.5% behind 2 names?
2. I know you like all these companies, but which 2/3 would you buy today?

Investor Profile = Young and risk on. Will be deploying new capital routinely, so ideally names that I can average up with over the next few years.

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.

Q: What did you think of Counsel's quarterly results?

Looks like they just missed earnings estimates, but showed good Mortgages Under Administration growth. Seems like a bit of a messy quarter with slight underperformance. Do you think it's a buy on weakness (if it's weak tomorrow)?

Q: I am looking to increase my holdings in financials. My only holding is Gluskin Sheff bought this year. I have looked at Fiera and Element and Genworth MIC. I am leaning towards Fiera, but I would appreciate your thoughts on the similarities or lack thereof.
I also find the description of "financial services" rather vague. It would be informative to have a little more definition of what they are doing. Our local loan shark says he is in financial services. Your thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi,
Just wondering about FTN - Financial 15 Split Corp. Is this too good to be true? It has a very high yield and holds a basket of some very solid names. How would you rank it in your scoring?
