Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Untangling the relationship between ECN and EFN is above my pay grade, but hopefully not above yours. Are there any lingering connections which would keep these entities tied together, where fundamental problems in EFN could leech into ECN? Or are they now completely and absolutely separate? Thanks again!

Q: Hello 5i
I own ECN Pref shares and continue to suffer I expect due to EFN business performance and the close link investors may create between EFN and ECN.

The question here is about the recent globe article and fan fair related to insider buying of CEO (at ECN). Normally I would be pleased to see the buying except for the bad taste created when the same thing was said about CXR (Concordia) CEO buying - He was buying with the banks money. As soon as the stock dipped, the bank took back their capital through a forced margin call and all of a sudden the skin in the game was gone.

Any way to determine whether the stock being purchased ($6M) by Mr Hudson is real or just a facade; zero risk for him as the bank holds him on a short margin call leash?

Q: Peter Lynch amassed a fortune investing in undervalued growth stocks. I currently own LNR & GSY. Can I get some other names that you would consider good GARP stocks?
Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi 5i,

I received a notice of a tender offer for ECN shares. The offer advises that existing shareholders can participate by specifying a price between $3.49 to $3.90 per share as a Dutch auction. Can you clarify how this sort of thing typically works, versus just buying at the market price? I'm wondering if this is a good deal for existing shareholders. As of me writing this, the share price is $3.71.

Thanks!

Q: Enc.pr.a

Hello 5i
Thanks for the informative service.

I have owned this ecn capital pref share for a while with original purchase price below the $25 issue. I am surprised to see the price back down to this level again given it is a rate reset with a minimum yield% reset.
Has the risk level of this pref or the company increased recently?
The volume is very low. Is this just simpathy selling associated with Efn poor performance and lowered outlook?
Your though on what is up with this share is appreciated.
Dave

Q: I was wondering whether your service has anyone that uses technical analysis or whether you only go by fundamental analysis? It seems that technical analysis would have shown a definite red flag with ECN on the chart months back when the stock had a very big reversal candle in early November. Perhaps you could consider bringing on someone with TA expertise to help with stock selection and opinions.
