Q: In my TFSA my strategy was to anchor this portfolio with blue chip positions which had worked to achieve my initial goal of making a steady foothold in the market. I then decided to add a few growth positions to see if I could improve the return on the portfolio. The only one in positive territory is PHO up 10%, do you think as a strategy this has the potential to work or not,also do you feel that ECN & TGSI have the potential to thrive in the future I'm down 10% on ECN & 36% on TGSI. I do not intend to draw down from this TFSA so I can wait. I know the answer on RHT

Q: Hi team,
Do you still see any upside and why the lack of interest in the stock? ECN has been dead money for over a year. Insiders have been buying agressively and almost 20% buyback. I am in at 3.63 and considering selling if the price remain flat after Q3.

Q: TD shows ECN’s projected earnings over next four quarters as 25 cents. Originally the preferred shares (ECN.PR.A) were rated Preferred -3 Low but perhaps deserve a higher rating if the common share estimated earnings are correct. Any view on the merit of adding to a small holding of this preferred (for income)?

Q: My 20 year old son has been investing based on your balanced portfolio. He has little need for income currently as he has at least two more years in school. Those costs are covered by an RESP. His financials holdings consist of BNS and ECN. Do you see any value in selling ECN and replacing it with either SLF or GSY? Is there any possible catalyst that will start ECN on an upward trajectory?

Q: A recent BNN interview appeared to suggest that ecn had or was becoming a facilitator of finance rather than engaging in direct exposure to the finance obligations, collecting fees for arranging the engagement, and the TD notes on this Co indicate that it is becoming an originator and asset manager, which to me seems to indicate a similar strategy. Would this not make ecn more economically sensitive to the sectors it participated in and less affected by the passage of interest rates and how would this affect your appraisal of ECN?
Q: My questions are related ECN:
1) what will be the catalyst to get this stock to move higher;
2) what is the impact of higher interest rates and why;
3) what is the impact of a lower Canadian dollar and why;
4) I have a half position, is this a good time to increase my position?
Thank you.

Q: Hi, What are your thoughts on ECN after recent earnings?
Price is moving in the wrong direction and there seem to be little in the way of catalysts here to get the share price moving north.
Thank for your opinion.
