Q: Regarding the " legal reserves " question on Crius Energy. I wrote Investor Relations and asked them. This is the reply I got ........
Hello Garth,

The legal reserve charge is related to various claims and proceedings that Crius Energy is a party to, arising in the normal course of business, including several ongoing litigation and regulatory matters relating to certain sales and marketing practices. The company is significantly closer to resolution of these pending claims and has entered into an agreement in principle to settle these matters.

I hope you find this helpful,
Kelly.

Q: Greetings,

I have a full position in Altagas spread across three registered accounts. I've held this for years and plan to keep it but I was wondering whether it would be a good idea to sell the shares now and buy the subscription receipts. Seems like the only downside to that would be a case where the big deal falls through but the stock prices goes up. Can't see that happening. Am I missing something?

Q: Hi there, just looking for further clarification on PLI, have you assessed the risks in Prometic not receiving approval for the Plasminogen BLA from the FDA? Could it be possible that PLI raised further funds very quickly, at a substantial discount, at $1.70, trading well over $2 at that time, suspecting they will not be approved?
"The Corporation is responding diligently to all FDA requests in relation to the BLA review. The Corporation will provide further updates on the expected timeline of regulatory approval as soon as available"
Could it be possible that PLI is suspecting the FDA is looking for further clinical data for approval, which could take an additional 12 to 18 months for final approval? Have you assessed these types of risks in your modelling for the Growth Portfolio holding? Where do you see the stock price trading at, if the above scenario does occur?
Hope I am wrong above!
Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i,
In response to a fellow member, I was also a very frustrated investor a couple of years ago, just after joining 5i. I have made and sometimes continue to make poorly researched decisions that are outside of my risk tolerance. I have purchased many disaster stocks (CXR, HCG, PHM etc.) since joining 5i, what is very apparent to me is that it was me that decided to make each and every trade, not 5i! The reason for the trade was an attempt to make some easy fast money (greed). The 5i information when used as a starting point for a shorter term trade or longer term investment idea, enables me to make much more informed decisions than I was able to do prior to joining 5i. I appreciate the unbiased information, experience and opinions, and the voice of calm reassurance in times of volatility....thank you very much!

Q: I have been looking to add ZZZ for a while now. The stock price has declined since earnings and I have decided to start a position. My portfolio consists of 25 stocks and since I do not want to increase this number I have to find a company to swap out. While I have done pretty well on MTY I feel the long term trend of online shopping and decline of big department stores will eventually hurt food court sales. Do you have any comments on if a switch to ZZZ from MTY is needed? Would you agree that ZZZ has greater long term potential?

Q: While I don't own GUD yet, I keep seeing it reviewed positively and therefore read the FP article you linked:
- "Laurentian Bank Securities analyst sees revenue rising to $6.9 million this year and $52.3 million in 2018 as more drugs work their way through approvals..."

Do you agree with the assessment of projected 2018 revenues of 52.3 million?
If so, what would the implied price of GUD be the end of 2018 based on revenues of 52.3 million?
