Q: Good afternoon. I currently hold Easyhome(EH). Its' shareprice has been in a steady decline since the new year. Has anything changed for this company. I am thinking of switching to Leons (LNF) or Dollarama (DOL). I am looking for capital appreciation rather than dividends and I have a medium to high risk tolerance. Can I get your comments please.
Thanks, Tim.

Q: HI Peter,
I just joined 5i, and really appreciate what I'm reading and learning on your site.
I'm down 59% with Burcon NutraScience, Bu., and 74% with Precious Metals and Mining Trust MMP.UN. Having held them both for 18+ months I'm loosing hope of them recovering. They are 7% positions each.
I'm thinking of taking my losses and moving the money to one of your pics which has some positive momentum; CF and BAD. What do you advise.

Q: What do you think of WIN's decision to not increase the dividend, despite the widening profit margins expected with low litigation costs? The buyback program was halted as well since November 6. The quarterly dividend requires $4.8 million of cash and the buyback was approx. $2.4mm quarterly. if they allocated the buyback capital to the divvy, this could have a 27 cent annual dividend, yielding somewhere near 8% at current levels. If they don't sell this thing, it seems like they could create value by making this a much better yielding royalty type security, while using the cash balance as a buffer for periods of unusual litigation activity. thanks.

Q: Hello,
In addition to a savings account, I opened a $10k TFSA to serve that same purpose; I was thinking of buying Bell Aliant.
It has traded within a range between $25 and $28 for the last 5 years; it now sits at the low end of the range.
What do you think? Could you also suggest an alternative?
Thanks,
Tony

Q: Hello 5i Team!

I am looking to buy a consumer staple and I see that although you don't cover it, you seem to have good expectations for PG.

Read a couple articles talking about its recent decline being tied to the emerging markets crisis.. Would you recommend buying it at this level? waiting? or is there a better option?

Thanks in advance!
