Q: Good Evening
My question is about FC -Firm Capital Mortgage Corporation.
In your universe there are several convertible unsecured FC debentures but not the actual FC.
Can you please provide some information about this company. Their dividend was not cut since 2004. Is it suitable for an investor who is interested in relatively less risky investments with predictable income streams.
Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

You have in the past been very positive of BNS. I have held it for dividends (dollar cost averaging) and long term growth. It is also "Canadian". It has fallen in price since late last year, especially compared with TD. I would be interested in your opinion going forward and if you would be OK with adding to my position (new $$$). 3 to 5 year horizon.

Q: I'm considering taking a position in the sub-prime Canadian lenders. Between Propel and Goeasy, which one would you choose to maximize total returns given the current market price? Is there an advantage in holding both with a (50/50) position? Planned holding period is 3 to 5 years.

Thanks for the great service.

André

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I know this bank is out of your territory. However I would appreciate your opinion. I know it has done well in the last year but am wondering what are the odds that it may go higher. I have owned it for a long time. Not sure if I should lock in a profit or take the risk that it will go higher. Thanks...your opinion is always sobering!

Q: I own BN with no intention of selling, but I find the dividends of the other Brookfield's interesting for my RRSP account with the potential of some capital growth as well. I know this type of question has been asked in the past, but not since the market downturn. Would you see a benefit of owning any of the others along with BN, and if so, which ones, and what would your total percentage of Brookfield holdings be. Thanks!

Q: Knowing that this may not be your area of expertise but if YOU had to get a mortgage in the next three months or so, what terms would you go for? Expect to pay it back in 6-8 years... Thanks in advance.
In addition to my previous question, I would appreciate reasons to your answer. Thank you.
