Q: I'm thinking that I want to remain invested in ECN because I like how they think and their results. I'm thinking of buying more shares in the coming days which ended the day barely up from the day before and I expect it will not fall the full $7.50 when it goes ex-dividend which would give me the post-dividend shares at a cheaper price than buying later. I would do this in my RIF and TFSA so there is no resulting tax. What do you think of this idea?

Q: Could you enlighten me about just why ECN is selling off a big chunk of their business and then paying a special dividend to shareholders? From what I can see and what you've said so far it will go from a $2.5 billion dollar company to a half billion dollar company. It will pay us $7.50 a share in a special dividend, but then the value of the shares we hold will likely drop by the same amount, if not more, since larger investors will probably abandon the newly shrunk company. So where is the benefit for shareholders in this action?
Q: As far as additions to any board is concerned, Mr Levitt is quite the addition for XEBEC.

Q: Can you please comment on a special dividend that would be paid $7.50. Stock is only up .22 cents right now. The stock should go up by at least $7.50. Do you think the stock would move up by at least $7 to 7.50 once the date is announced? Do you consider buying the stock to collect the special dividends?
Am I missing something here? Do you expect the deal would not be completed?
Thanks for the great service

Q: I have a question about 1037 .
Would you expect increase in this stock value along with the infrastructure bill passage in US. It has a significant presence in US.
Would it be treated as US company for the infrastructure projects in US despite domiciled originally in Canada? Or the directive buy US would be a problem for this company?
Thank you,

Q: Can you comment on ECN earnings and the deal announced today. How does a $7.50 special dividend make sense for a $10.65 stock? Will the stock price spike and then drop after it goes ex-dividend?
Q: Hi 5i team,
On Aug 9th, Bmo capital markets raised it's outlook on price for GSY to 207$. When an analyst raises it's price for a stock, what is the time frame they believe it will hit that mark?

Q: An article in today's TorStar indicated that the company will sell 7.7 million shares at a price of $93per share. The underwriters have been granted an over allotment option up to 1.155 million shares.
It's not clear that the dollars quoted were in U.S. or Cdn dollars. If it's in Cdn. then the Monday closing price of $116.57 is within range. Can you confirm? Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,
Can you clarify the logic in having a portion of the portfolio in cash? I have seen in past questions you reference a lean stance on cash still being around 7%.
