Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Disappointed in NFIs stock performance this last month - down about 14%. I regarded this as one of my ‘hang on and ignore’ stocks. I can’t find any negative stuff on it - seems all positive. Is it tax selling this early? I realize it is up on the year so I suppose this could be it. I think I am missing something tho. Pls enlighten me. Thks guys.

Q: Here we go again.The underwriters try to push the stock as high as possible,but in this case of ENB with limited success.After market closed today ENB announced it is going to the market again to raise financing to the tune of $1.5b of private placement of 33.5m of treasury shares @ $44.84(recent 52 week low of $43.91),At the same time it reconfirmed 10%pa increase in dividend for a number of years.Please advise who are the lead underwriter(s) & underwriters.I guess BMO is one as it did a glowing report in G&M @ end of last week.My purchase @ $50 is 10% higher than the. $44.84,so hopefully the gap can be bridged.Thanks for u usual great views & services.

Q: I am a holder of SYZ, IMHO they have the worst website for shareholders I have ever come across. The only good thing is a link to Sedar. Why not have a list of press releases at a minimum for easy div. date reference. Not acceptable for any Co. never mind it's a computer Co.
If you agree you would have more clout with SYZ.
Please contact them.

Q: Do you see ENB as a potential tax-loss selling candidate for the remainder of this year, despite it not being on your list in your recent blog entry on the topic?

I have a 3% portfolio weighting of ENB in a taxable account and still wish to hold it long term, however as I have a small (7%) loss I'm contemplating selling it and buying it back at the beginning of January or thereabouts to offset some of this year's capital gains. Would you advise such a move for ENB right now, or is this all a bit too fancy (and/or risky)?

Q: I have a follow up question to your reply on a question earlier today on Photon:
" PHO has just broken out to a new high on good volume. Typically, this would not be a good time to sell after such a good move. There are no guarantees, of course, and it will fluctuate a lot, but we would view it as a 3 to 5 year position."

What are realistic expectations of returns for holding for his time, how do monitor the results and what flags do you/we look for if the growth is not working?

Thanks

Q: Hi team,

This question is probably going to highlight my ignorance in this area only, but I am going to ask it any: Would it make sense for CSU to take over DSG in a mega deal? Would there be any synergies from a friendly acquisition? If yes, why CSU is not interested in DSG? or similar large Canadian software companies?
I have both and not sure if there are any advantages in keeping both.
Your feedback and insight is much appreciated.
