Q: In your earnings assessment you state:

"easyfinancial is seeing more 'secured' loans (33% up from 12.7%). Average loan rate fell to 32.7%, 37.5%. As interest rates rise we would like to see this trend reverse, of course."

Can I presume increase in secured loans is the reason for reduction in Avg. Loan Rate? Personally I would rather give a secured loan
rather than unsecured. Don't you think this trend would improve loan write offs?

Q: For many years I have had full positions in each of BEP.UN, BIP.UN, and BAM.A, and have done very well with them. For purposes of portfolio weighting, I have always treated them each as separate entities in their respective sectors ie. Utiilities, Infrastructure, and Financial Services. I am getting ready to retire and have started looking at the relative safety of my portfolio more critically. Given that these 3 are all actually part of the same parent company (BAM.A), should I be worried about being invested too heavily in one company, or is it fair to keep treating them as separate moving parts? I would greatly appreciate your thoughts.

Q: 5iteam: Currently down about 9.5% . Would you consider GSY a decent replacement .If considering I do not currently need the better dividend and .it is looking like a tax loss would help this year , do you feel GSY at today 's price would give me more upside potential or would you suggest a better name to add to portfolio rather than add to GSY to lower my book value?Tks Larry

Q: This company has been moving up lately due to the shift to value. I hold an overweight position in several accounts and after several years of flat to negative price momentum i am considering selling my positions as its earnings are very lumpy and has not proven to be the best investment. Would you sell now or wait for the momentum to hopefully take the stock higher?
