Q: Hi team, I have a question regarding China's potential housing bubble. I'm seeing more reports and articles about how they are inflating their GDP significantly by building full cities that remain empty. It seems that they are well past where the US was when their housing bubble burst.

Are we looking at a global financial disaster from this, or does their government have this under control?

Q: My question is on Annaly Capital Management . NLY recently reported .47 a share earnings for the quarter against the streets estimates of .34 a share. The US fed has pretty much told us what will happen with interest rates and NLY will complete the Crexus deal on May 26. Yet the share price has been declining since reporting.
Is this a buying opportunity ?
Thanks Garth

Q: Hi Peter,
I know you have answered similar questions on CFN, but is there anything new today? Part of the 'sell Canada theme'? Capitulation? What am I not seeing?

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter, HLF appears to be facing headwinds of increasing costs and lower sales/price. Management did not sound very optimistic on the recent CC. Stock is already showing weakness and I am worried that it may move even lower. Do you see any near term catalysts or I should bail out? Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and team, I hold RFC and CFN both. SP of both have been hit hard after CFN's recent two quarter results, coupled with insiders selling. Rifco results are not out yet. I have a small loss ~10/15% in both. I am a bit concerned with higher loan losses in the industry and wish to lighten my positions. Which one, in your view has better chance of SP recovery? also, is it a good idea to switch some funds to ACQ? Thanks so much.

Q: Hi Folks! I'm pretty certain that The Expense Ratio on SCITI Trust
SIN.UN is 0.45%. If I'm not mistaken an earlier 5i post stated
that it was dramatically higher, no?

My apologies in advance if I'm missing something...?

Sincerely,

Dave (Nicholson)

Q: Hi 5i, What do you think about Capstone Infrastructure (CSE.TO)? Do you think the dividend is safe? Are there better infrastructure / utilities which provide a comparable yield but is safer? Thanks and keep up the great work.
