Q: I sent in a comment about this yesterday. You likely know already but now Mike Holmes is telling a live CBC, George Strombolopolus audience about the same investment opportunity and how he has made a lot of money. It appears a lot of people are jumping on this.

Q: Hello 5i Team,

Historically, FN has been a solid choice for income with modest growth.

However, I'm uncertain about the effect (i.e. headwind? tailwind?) of the current and near-future situation where people will have to renew their mortgages at higher rates, potentially leading to an increased number of defaults.

Is it a Buy, Hold or Sell?

Or is a Canadian bank stock (e.g. RY or TD) a better choice at this time for overall return?

Thanks in advance for your always helpful advice.

Q: Regarding Scott’s question of 7 Sept on FTN. The NAV as of end Aug is $16.50 and the company announced its regular monthly dividend for Sept. Your answer doesn’t match the above information from the company’s website. Do you know why the share price has declined so dramatically over the past week? Thank you

Q: Hi
Wondering about your latest addition to the growth portfolio. Curious as to this selection as the fundamentals are awful, with negative cash and operating flow and negative EPS. I assume this is a mock portfolio but do any of the contributors of 5i have any skin in the game especially in a high risk name such as GLXY?
I assume a 1.5% holding would be $1500 in a $100,000 portfolio.
Thanks
Jeff

Q: Help me understand what the 2or3 key reasons are, to continue holding ECN, in addition to economic recovery and lower interest rates. Is economic recovery and lower interest rates the dominant reason to continue holding ECN? In your experience looking at a companies whose business was similar to ECN, how long will it be to see a share price response, to these reasons, if properly executed?
