Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good Morning

Both my wife I own shares in ECN and have been long time owners and over the years have done very well. However now in our mid seventies and with the new focus for ECN if now would be a good time to exit our position and invest in something more appropriate and conservative for our age. Selling half would leave us with to small a position so either sell all or retain it?
What are your thoughts and if sell is the suggestion what would those suggestions be?
we are over weight in both financials and TECH
We understand you are unable to provide direct guidance

Q: Trying to reduce my number of stock holdings. Have identified these 11 as small positions that can be eliminated. Intending to use the cash to add to stronger holdings. I try not to think of a stock as a "hold". There are lots of high quality names you can invest in that look better than a "hold". If you were doing a portfolio clean up, and held these as roughly 1% positions, are there any that you would be reluctant to sell?

Q: Ecn is reporting soon. What are expectations? I am holding with a small loss which I fear is going to turn into a big loss when financials are released and results of review are revealed. The stock is acting very much like CTS leading up to the completion of their strategic review. Thoughts ?

Q: Hi 5i team,

I currently hold a well-balanced portfolio and I am contemplating selling 50% of my position in GSY to purchase ECN. I am willing to take on some risk for potential reward, but I am unsure if maintaining GSY would be more appropriate for my investment space.

Best,
Matt

Q: How would you rank these current and 2-3year potential. All except TOI look to be massively discounted versus previous performance. Possible multi baggers?

Q: Can you provide any sort of update on this company. I understand that the strategic update in August could be interesting, however, what other catalysts could be on the horizon? How do you like the risk/reward scenario? Has there been insider buying? Would you take a starter position here?

Q: Did not have an opportunity to hear what ECN had to say about their earnings and possible sale of the company. Was there any indication of what direction the strategic review might take and possible timing of any announcement.. Secondly if a takeout does not occur is there anything in terms of future guidance that would provide support for the shares around current levels? Current results appear rather tepid and my concern is that shares could tank without positive news from the strategic review. What is your sense as to what direction the strategic review might take?

Q: I may have missed a few, but pretty sure I've made every mistake trading in the stock market, although thanks to 5i I've done quite well over the years. Prehaps my biggest mistake is holding on to loosers too long and taking big hits. Recently I've promised myself to sell when I'm down 25%. So, I'm now down 25 or more % on these 4 companies but dont want to sell. What says you?

Q: An anecdotal comment and a question.

1) When you recommended ECN as part of the portfolio I purchased EFN instead, a fat finger mistake. Unfort when I realized the 'mistake' I made I sold me EFN and bought ECN. A mistake I wished I hadn't corrected.

2)An analyst I follow, with a 65% success rate (wished I was that good) made this recco this am.:

"TD Securities analyst Mario Mendonca downgraded ECN Capital Corp. (ECN:CN) (OTC: ECNCF) from Buy to Hold with a price target of Cdn$0.00..."

I have seen your comments on ECN this am. Its performance has been abysmal ever since it was added to the port, how strongly do you feel ECN will survive and not hit 0?
