Q: Hi 5I,
If I'm not mistaken the US is slowly opening up to online gambling which clearly will benefit TSGI . My question is more related to the psychology around how fast or slow these markets are opening up. After all Vegas and all the casino operators exist so gambling itself is not a problem. How does it differ being an online industry ? I never could work this bit out.
Thanks

Q: hello
I could swear you used to have an excel list of all the companies you cover, but I cannot find it.
Do you still have one or could you provide such a list?
thanks

Q: CPD Normally price of prefs will go down when rates go up. The lower price increasing the rate of return to compete in the market.
I’ve been trying to get my head around the newer minimum rate reset prefs. What would be the effect on such prefs of rising and/lower interest rates.
For example let’s say the current 5 yr bond is1.75%,
What would be the effect of the rate at reset if the rate is 2% vs say 1,50%
Use ECN.PR.A for your explanation.
Correct my assumptions if I’m wrong.
Thank you,
Roy

Q: Last year an airline in Europe gave us a Wirecard for taking a later flight . We used it for shopping and restaurants and then cashed in the balance for Euros at an ATM . Great concept that has grown incredibly according to Handelsblatt . Is there an ADR or even an OTC listing for this ? Is there a similar card in North America ?
Thanks

Q: Hi 5I
It has been my experience for the last few years that around the 2ND half of August my portfolio (hopefully we'll diversified both by sector and geographically) sees high volatility and drops only to pick up in September where it left off as nothing happened,! Just curious to know if there is any known "effect" (like a Santa Claus rally type event) that exists or whether it is just an odd recurring feeling that I'm experiencing.
Thanks

Q: Good Morning;
Both companies appear to have been caught in recent Tech sector selloff. Both also continue to struggle to recover. Has anything changed in underlying fundamentals of either company that would cause concern or limit growth prospects going forward? In addition, was the market reaction extreme and would you expect a (partial) bounce back up or will both companies require some catalyst to maintain/gain growth and regain lost share value?
Thank you
Ian

Q: I have a question about MSI. I have held MSI for some time and have a significant capital gain. I am currently wondering whether I should be selling some/all of the position based on its high valuation, lack of dividend increases and fairly static stock price. However, I am attracted to its potential stability in a down market and the overall "steady eddy" nature of the business.
May I have your thoughts?
Thanks
