Q: With goeasy's large drop today, assuming it's due to a sideswipe of the HCG debacle, is this a time to add to GSY. I know you like this company's growth prospects and have recommended it recently, but my concern is if there is a strong possibility that government may take a closer look at the 'alternative' financial practices given HCG's meltdown. Thanks for your take on this evolving situation!

Q: I have half positions in CCL.B, ZCL, GSY,ECI and PHO; full positions in SIS,KXS,SHOP,PBH and GUD. Growth from 'good' companies is my only consideration and I have a 10 year timeline. These companies are part of the growth portion of a balanced portfolio.
Please provide guidance on the following 2 questions:
Could you rank my half position companies with growth potential as the sole criterion.
Is it reasonable to increase one's stake beyond a full position in any company that has excellent future prospects? If yes, please rank my full position companies based on growth potential.
Thanks for your excellent service, as always!

Q: i am thinking about full position in both SIS and PBH. I bought a little SIS before Xmas but wonder if I should move in another direction on these 2 as they have done very well recently. I have been contemplating for a while but wonder if I should wait for a pull back. Would KXS or GSY be another option? I am not to heavy in any of these sectors.
On another note I bought SHOP a while back, thanks! Your team has been a wealth of knowledge.

Q: I don't know GSY at all and I am reluctant to invest in their wonderfully performing shares. OTOH , I hate to miss out on a great growth situation .Why do I think of them as a Usury business managing to barely operate within the consumer act ... Perhaps I am wrong . Are they no different than any bank or trust company ... ( except that they rent furniture ???? ) .

Q: Question on shares outstanding vs. the share float. You mention in a previous answer that GSY has 60% inside ownership, is there a site that gives this number or are you getting outstanding shares from google and the inside ownership from the annual meeting report? This report would show how many shares the directors currently have. I'm trying to calculate how to buy break a larger buy into pieces and have been using the average daily number of shares traded.
Thank you and Happy Easter.

Q: Been holding GSY, have had a super run, thanks for the advice. I am however gettign concerned about an end to canadas debt binge

What are the risks to GSY from
1. Deflation of the housing bubble
2. BOC signalling and (potentially) raising rates

Would it cause more or less customers to need the type of financing GSY offers? will GSY yield spreads on financing increase/decrease?

Thanks

Q: Even with their new banking licence Currency exchange Corp's stock seems to not be able to gain any traction. Would you consider it worthwhile to sell Currency exchange Corp and replace it with Goeasy ? Goeasy would pay me to wait while CXI gets their stuff together. I think they are both in the same sector. Would the switch strengthen my portfolio.
