Q: CXI has dropped 15% + in the last week .Any thinking as to why?

Q: Cxi was not adressed in my previous question? Buyable? Full of half position? And any reason for the current weakness?

Thanks

Q: As a newer subscriber to 5i, i am interested in purchasing your BE portfolio. The above names have had huge run ups and I don't know how to approach them. Which ones are buyable at these levels?
Of the ones you deem buyable, can you comment, for each, as to whether a half position or full position should be taken.
And can you rank these in terms in terms of your preferences at current levels?

Thank you for your excellent service, as always.

Q: My question is sort of on CXI. I use stockwatch.com to get online quotes and noticed that there are a few different quotes for (I think) different exchanges. Usually these different exchanges only differ by a few cents, but for CXI today, the difference was quite significant. My question is what are the exchanges (TSX, Chi-X, CX2, Omega, TriAct) and why is the price so different? Is there an arbitrage opportunity?

Q: Pretty large drop on small volume but bearish engulfing pattern forming. Any reason for the drop that you see?

Thanks

Q: ANY THOUGHT ON THE CURRENT PROSPECTS FOR cxi

Q: Looking for financial sector allocation suggestions as replacement for HCG/mortgage sector. Already have positions in EFN/ECN/CXI/BNS/SLF...any suggestions? or okay with going to 20% on tech vs current 15% 35 years old, money is all in registered accounts, little debt, and no need for money in next 10-20 years

Q: I would like to make my TFSA more growthy. The candidates I have in my TFSA that I am considering replacing with more growthy names are: TD, IPL and WCP. I own these in a non-registered account as well, but since I can’t take advantage of the dividend tax credit in the TFSA I would like to replace them.

The growthy names I have in my TFSA are DHX.B, ESL, and GUD. I think I have enough of these, so I am looking for other suggestions from your growth and model portfolio. I am considering, CXI, TOY, PBH, ZCL (maybe KXS if it pulls back to the mid-50s). I already own SIS, NFI, OTC, CSU in a non-registered account and think I have enough for now.

What growthy (but not overly risky) stocks would you suggest for a TFSA today for a long term hold?

p.s. I have already maxed out my TFSA contributions. With some cash in the TFSA and the sale of shares I may not have enough $ in the TFSA to buy a full lot(s) of the replacement (e.g sell 100 shares of TD @ $58, buy 200 shares of TOY @ $31.50). I would rather not buy an odd lot (e.g 184 shares of TOY) because I don’t have enough cash in the TFSA, and I can’t add any more $ to the TFSA until next year. Should I wait until I can buy the full lot (i.e. the price falls, or I get dividends to increase cash), wait until January when I can add another $5500 to the TFSA, or find another stock where I can buy full lot(s). What is your opinion on buying odd lots, especially with low volume stocks like TOY and CXI?

Q: Hi: good news on CXI- can you comment on the TAM for this business? pretty small at $30m rev. How big are they able to grow - and who are their competition? What is the likely exit- sale to bigger player? Thanks

Q: Hi there, as a follow up to your response regarding SCB, would today's news regarding CXI license also be positive for SCB? Maybe that's why SCB has been moving up as of late, as pending license's are going to be approved finally! Reading between the lines, people in the know may be positioning themselves! Your take would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Q: I have a position in CXI. Should I increase it further now or does the 12% uptick today make it fully valued with the news?

Q: Good news from CXI today I think. Comments Thx

Q: Hello 5i team,
What is going on with CXI? There does not seem to be any trading activity.
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: Hi Team,
What you think of CXI results ?
I am holding ACQ for some time, is there any upside potential or should I sell it and buy NFI.

Q: Hello Peter, I know this is a low-volume traded company, and that things have seemed rather quiet lately. Do your views remain positive for a longer-term hold? And do you have any information as to the likelihood or timing of CXI obtaining its banking license? Thanks!

Q: Is there any significance in the latest news on CXI? There are many small banks in the US so when they say they have agreements with over 800 branches that could be big or not. Your insight please and thank you.

Q: Given the reality of the Brexit there seems to be a lot of currency movements. Is CXI a large enough company and do they participate in currency markets in such a way as to benefit from the increased number of transactions?

Q: Hello 5i team,
I am currently up 48% on CXI and am contemplating switching to Savaria (SIS). This would be within my TFSA. I am overweight financials (as most Canadians probably are..) and currently underweight industrials.
Would you endorse such a move; are there any "red flags" you would see to such a switch? Any thoughts or comments would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Can you provide your thoughts on the financial results, future outlook and conference call.

Q: I have reviewed the performance ratios for CXI and find that its operating margin and net margin is not just robust but three to five times greater than its peers, and its ROC about twice other comparables. In other words it appears to be pumping out cash miore or less in line with the cost of visiting one of their kiosks. Should that run in due course to a hefty dividend or are there other potential avenues for what looks to be a very robust income stream???
