Q: Canadian Banc Corp is an Investment Corporation
that invests in a diversified portfolio consisting of six
Canadian Banks. Two types of shares are available, a
Class A (BK) and a Preferred (BK.PR.A).

I have had class A shares for a few years and am very pleased. It seems to good great dividend and capital gains . I see the very low liquidity as a big problem. I believe you are not supportive of the structure and the fund.
Would you reduce as it is 6% of holding with no other bank exposure? what other red flags would you look out for.
thanks
Yossi

Q: Elkwater was highly recommended by a BNN guest around July 30th, when it was approximately seventy cents. It traded 12 million shares the next day and subsequently doubled due to the rights offering, giving the company a hefty market cap considering it had no deals signed.
Now, it's twenty cents and still trading heavily. Investors who bought in August have taken a big hit and the share price action seems a little unusual, to say the least.
Is it possible the .375 cent private placement will be re-priced or cancelled due to market conditions or is it a bought deal and completed?
Would you buy this company at current levels?
Thank you.

Q: Hey 5i Team,

I am wondering how much of Enterprise group's business will be affected by the lower crude price. Heart oilfield rentals may incur some weakness but I would assume pipeline projects will still be going ahead regardless of volatile commodity prices. It seems their stock price has been under pressure along with the service sector however business still seems to be good? I would appreciate your thoughts on the company.

Thanks

Q: Hi gang, and thanks for all the good advice.

I haven't see Enerflex mentioned since Feb 2014, and have been following the company for quite some time. In this sector I own Shawcor and Canyon Services (as well as Suncor and Black Diamond). I am thinking about adding either Enerflex or Secure Energy Services (SES). Do you favour one or the other over the next 5 years, and why? Thanks in advance. Keep up the good work

Q: Nuance Communications NUAN (US)
I thought Carl Icahn’s investment in NUAN would shake things, but it is down ~20% from a year ago. Any hope for NUAN? Other technology companies are said to have looked at buying NUAN but no offers.

I do not want to shoot this dog, but... (I can't use the tax loss). Your comment would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Adam
