Q: Ron's comment made mention of the fact that a short interest approaching 25% of the float should raise red flags. Can you explain this?

Q: As a follow-up to CXR, I believe the uncertainty of the Brexit vote is also impacting share price, since AMCO is based out of the UK. Word on the street is any offer from Apollo Global Management is depenent on Brexit not going through. We may not see any recovery in share price until after the vote.
Regardless of the above, the uncertainty offers yet another opportunity to acquire CXR shares at a very attractive valuation (considering management offered good guidance at the last earnings call).

Q: Just a follow up on your answer to Neil's question about Concordia.
My theory is that the short interests are killing them. The latest data issued show yet another increase pushing them close to 25% of the float. I believe your opinion was anything around this mark raises red flags.

Q: Hi there
I note you commented on Enghouse's recent earnings, but before the conference call. Just wondering if you listened to it, whether any other information/impressions came out, and how you would feel about buying a bit more at this time. I was thinking of raising my position from 3% to 4% of my portfolio.
Much thanks

Q: Any thoughts on why BAM.A is down so much lately (especially today). BAM.A seems more volatile than it's holdings (BIP, BPY, etc.). Am I correct on this, and if so, can you explain why it is more volatile. Thanks.
Q: Do you have a theory on why CXR is testing its 52 week lows again? It seems extremely cheap and even without a potential buyout, is generating good EPS every quarter. I would like to buy more, but I am already over weight - so I am patiently waiting for it to go back up! Thanks, Neil

Q: Could you give me a break down on the recent filing. How will this impact the overall balance sheet? (Notification according to chapter 9, section 5 and 6 of the Securities Market Act: BlackRock Inc.'s holding in Metso.)

Q: Napec (NPC-T) was a top pick on BNN last week. Although this is not in your data base would you be able to comment on its debt level, insider ownership, earnings and cash flow. At first glance does it seem like a company to put on a watch list. Thanks.
Q: Where do you see the greatest risk to equity and bond investments?
1. High inflation caused by economic growth finally putting to work all the money that was printed by central bank quantitive easing around the world; or,
2. Deflation caused by slow growth due to unfavourable demographics and financial deleveraging by consumers.
What would you recommend as the best defense in each of these scenarios?

Q: Mega Uranium seems to have some good potential especially with its $55 million holding in Nexgen. However it has 290 million outstanding shares. Do you consider this number of shares to be a concern for a company with a market cap of $45 million and could you provide information re the issuing of new shares over the past two or three years. Although there has been recent insider buying the overall insider holdings appear to be quite low. Could you give the actual insider ownership at this point. Also do you have an opinion on the management of this company. Thanks.
Q: My question is companies that will benefit from rising interest rates. I was wondering if you could give me a top three that trades in Canada and a top three that trades in the US...May one ETF too if possible. I understand that rates wont go up over night. I just want to start accumulating now for a 5-7 year hold to wait for rates to rise. I would prefer it if they paid a dividend as well.
Thanks so much
Jimmy

Q: Are there any companies/organizations in the Artificial Intelligence sector that 5i believes are good long-term investment opportunities; perhaps focusing application to diagnostic medicine.

Thanks for your excellent investment analysis.

Q: I have made some good gains on XCS(24%) and XIC (10.5%) from the market runup from January. Thanks to your article about small caps stocks from last year. Now I am wondering if I should take the gains, wait for a sell off and buy in again. With most of my stocks I never time the market and its all buy and hold but with XCS and perhaps XIC I am considering taking profits. Or mayble I should just take profits from XCS..Note that the holdings are in a registerd account so tax is not an issue. Your opinion is most valued. cheers, Shyam
Q: Your opinion for this stock is appreciated.Thanks.Ebrahim
