Q: Hello 5i crew -
I've had my eye on Element Financial for awhile now. I know you consider it expensive at this point. If you cannot recommend a price entry, can you advise of a metric or two you would watch before pulling the trigger?
How much faith do you have with Mr. Hudson as CEO? He seems to have big plans. My concern is his history. The Newcourt Credit Group that he had built didn't exactly end very well. Your thoughts?
Thanks.
Jim

Q: Regarding the question about Fiera Capital's recent share price weakness, the 4-month hold came off yesterday from September's private placement financing which was done at $10.75. Possibly some investors taking gains off the table.
Q: I'm concerned about Fsz lately. Does it still enjoy your favor?
Q: Good morning
With the TSX market being so high after such a good run, what would be your choice for a large cap growth stock with a good yield for a TFSA account for retirees.
Thanks Jean

Q: Hi In Dec 31/08 I took a position in the Big 5 Can Banks.The current result are BMO +17.46% CM +19.56% BNS +11.61% TD +23.61%
RY+34.08%.BNS has for some reason lagged behind and lately since I enlarged my position in this stock it has been on a toboggan.
Even today the others are in green BNS red would you hold or should I cut my losses and move on ?

Q: We have full positions in the 5 major Canadian banks. I notice that the pundits reguarly recommend TD and BNS as the top picks, but I have found that BMO consistently beats BNS, growing more than BNS when the market is up and falling less when the market is down. I understand that BNS has more assets in the rather shaky Latin American countries but have never considered that an advantage. BMO has more interests in the US market, a much stronger market. It also pays a better dividend than BNS. Your thoughts?
Q: Hi, what is current opinion on GS?
Q: Hi just wondering what your take is on bank stocks like TD & Ry after today's 3% announcement?

Q: Hi Guys,
Everyone seems to love Element Financial (EFN). I was wondering if the reset (5 year bond + 4.71%) preferred share (EFN.PR.A) with a 6.6% dividend due in 2018 would make a good investment for the fixed income portion of my portfolio?
From 1 to 10 (10 very safe), how safe is my capital?
Thanks for the help.
