Q: A response to Evan on a forum for discussion.

I have monitored a discussion board for 11 years. I know most have this problem

"head and shoulders above the type of audience that plague other investing sites. "

It is a time consuming exercise to monitor discussion and you must be prepared to eliminate any possible problem. I have the power to delete posts and/or ban posters. I also may be freer to eliminate problem posts/posters than the 5i team might be. I believe my forum is known for no conflict and especially no politics. I do not have any expertise that the 5i team could offer.

5i--I separate this in case you want not to publish this link--I am neutral on it.
I am at http://www.investorvillage.com/groups.asp?mb=6781&pt=m
Bryon in Elmira

Q: I am really seeing great value in my membership with 5I, keep up the good work.
Other than the stocks in the model portfolio which I am using for my Canadian exposure, could you please suggest one stock to buy approx $20,000 worth with good growth potential over the next 6-9 months.

Q: Do you feel Bank of America ( BAC ) , which I bought on Friday , is heading up or did it just top out ? Have I made a timing error ?

Q: LRE

What do you think of it around $5?

Q: hi peter, i currently have my pension in stocks that are split between US and International companies the last year; after the good run they had last year, as the TSX was lagging, but still gaining, i am wondering if know is a good time to re-invest in the TSX and switch to totally TSX equities. Basically i am trying to decide which market has the better potential for large cap stock gains over the next 12 to 18 months?

thanks hugh

Q: Have you ever considered creating a 5I membership forum for members to discuss/debate stock holdings? There are some savvy subscribers here no doubt where it would be beneficial to hear some continued feedback on stocks bouncing ideas/thoughts etc; back n’ forth per your question/answer section, call it an added 5I advantage within your growing readership. Less experienced investors could sit back and observe taking notes/pointers – a learning forum if you may. Of course, having it closely monitored by Mr. Hodson and the 5I team to answer/clarify pertinent queries on stocks would be the main root of creating such a forum. There seems to be a short term outlook by some members on here as is evident by the barrage of questions on stocks on a weekly sometimes daily basis, there seems to be many repetitive questions on the favorite core of stocks with a short term focus which isn’t what 5i sets forth. I’m sure a forum like this might break away some of 5I’s time to give us more updated reports and perhaps blast out by mass email when a company reports on a quarterly basis/earnings etc; that you know will bombard with questions (why not hit many members with one mass email?). I’m sure there wouldn’t be a whole lot of policing to enforce on a forum with certain privileges revoked if the forum got out of hand as this seems like head and shoulders above the type of audience that plague other investing sites. I can’t be the only one to pose this question, your thoughts along this avenue would be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: Could i get your updated view on FLY? Would you buy a speculative position in the Company? Do you think it's overvalued relative to its growth potential + patent / partnerships?

Q: Hi 5i team,

I currently hold Cipher, but was thinking about switching into Biosyent. Although Biosyent has a lower market cap, it also has more diversification in its operations and better stock momentum. What are your thoughts on this switch?

Thanks as always,
