Q: I am a retiree with 14% financial sector exposure in banks (TD,BNS,RY) and insurance companies (MFC, SLF, BRK.B). I have been a long term holder (10+) of MFC and currently have a half position. Been happy with the dividend but very disappointed with share appreciation (still underwater). Would it make sense to sell MFC and purchase GSY for share appreciation and dividend growth?

Q: Hi.
The list of stocks make’s up my overall portfolio. Last month, during the sell off, my portfolio was down ~40% and started recovering slightly and lost steam again since late last week.
I don’t have any intentions to sell in the short term and I will prefer to hold for minimum the next 3-5 years.
Looking at the list of my holdings, do you feel there is any stock that should not be there?
Thanks,

Q: Hi,
I generally prefer companies that have very little or no long term debt. It just gives me comfort of the ability for the company to survive massive drawdowns in the stock market.
Of the 4 companies listed, are any burdened with a high long term debt load?
Thanks ,

Q: i have not seen any analysts increase targets on gsy as as a result of the latest deal.
previous targets were in the 140 range.
after doing my own analysis, i assume it will be in 170 range now.and its strange but gsy is still inexpensive, it never gets that recognition it deserves because of the high interest it charges, i think it changes now.
whats your opinion.

Q: All five are poised for future growth via acquisitions and organic growth. I don't have a position in any. How would you rank them if you had new money to put to work for buy and hold for next 5 years for the growth part of my portfolio.

Q: with goeasys announced deal today which is accretive immediately when it closes in the 2nd quarter, upsizing of its fund raise, announcement of 1st quarter prelim results which were strong,, plus huge increase in gsy size i thought the stock would open about 135, instead its down a buck as of this writing which is nothing in the grand scheme of things, just curious as to why-is it because of stock dilution.dave

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide an update on the fundamentals of GSY and your opinion as a buy at today's price. Also having checked the INK Insider Report there seems to have been a lot of selling. Could you comment on this as well as total insider holdings. I know that GSY is in the business of lending money but does it also have debt and if so then is it a manageable amount.
Thanks.
