Q: Thanks so much for your great service and all the best for 2014 as you gain momentum which is the theme of my question. I have noticed that you often mention your appreciation for 'momentum' and I wonder how one identifies this quality in a timely way. For example, I missed out on BAD since I was waiting for a pullback that never came, and I have some Y and Y.WT arising from a bad investment in a preferred of the old Yellow Pages, and these have had tremendous momentum recently (8.66 on May1 to 21 now). Again, I didn't add to my meagre holdings, but it would have been wise to do so, in retrospect. In short, I wonder if there are ideas on how to assess this fairly common phenomenon of watching a stock continue to rise, knowing, of course, that it will end sometime. Perhaps the short answer is that i should ask you as soon as I notice such movement! But I wonder if you have particular guidelines that you follow is assessing whether it is 'a bit late' to join the party, or not too late. Thanks.

Bob.

Q: Hi 5i,

Your thoughts on ALX. I know you commented back in early December, but wonder if you think it's worth a punt at the current share price. Sounds like you agree that management is impressive. My question is - would you give them the benefit of the doubt at the current share price? Would you wait for a pull back?

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team,I know that you like companies that start a dividend policy. AXX (Axia Net Media) is starting a dividend at the end of January. Can you please give me your additional comments wrt AXX

Q: Axia was expected to initiate a special dividend due to the excess cash on the balance sheet associated with the sale of some non-core assets, instead the company has initiated a "small" quarterly dividend and they have renewed their share buy back in December. You've previously said you view the initiation of a dividend as very positive. I believe they are trying to signal their long term intentions to the market and based on their cash position and their projected income levels they have ample room to grow the dividend over time. What are you thoughts about this move by Axia? Do you think this is the right move as opposed to initiating a special dividend? Are they being too conservative with returning capital?

Thanks,
Rob

Q: Happy New Year to all at 5I. I have been watching DHX for a good buying opportunity (it is down 3.6% today). Would this be it, or is it a reason to wait and see what may be behind the drop?
