Q: I have a non stock specific question but Enbridge is a good example. Can you explain how stocks balance out across borders when they trade in different national markets in different currencies. In the case of a stocks like Enbridge for example how do the various markets reconcile say a rising interest rate environment in the U.S. versus a falling or steady interest rate environment in Canada? There is the currency question but there is also some intrinsic different potential reactions to a steady dividend payer in these different rate scenarios. So how does the Mr. Market "know" what to do? If there is any literature you can point me to that would also be much appreciated. Thanks once again.

Q: Intrinsyc Technologies TSX:ITC has been a dog of a small cap high-tech stock for many years. That said, over the last two years the Company seems to be engineering a turnaround. Their recent Q2 report was further evidence of that. On Monday the Company issued a press release about two previously disclosured customers that have begun issuing purchase orders for Intrinsyc’s computer modules that should ramp up according to Management, to significant quantities in 2016. What was interesting is that the Company issued a material change report with this press release about the potential revenue impact for 2016. This is common to issue material report? Should investors read into this as being significant positive development for the Company?

Q: Hi Peter
Can you comment on this stock please, I know Ian Ainsworth purchased it for his U.S. Growth fund.
It's been a great free cash flow generator, However it has no Retained earnings and debt continues to grow, what are they doing with all the free cash.
Also would you consider the 650 million of goodwill to be a Red Flag, and finally what do you think compelled Mr Ainsworth to take a position in this stock recently.
Thanks Gord

Q: Hello the 5i team!
I appreciate your insight into the different aspects of the investment world.
My children (26 and 23) have received a generous inheritance from their grandfather.
They might in the short term want to use a portion of their inheritance for a down payment on a house. My 23 year old cannot really touch his portion until he is 25. Their TFSA will be maxed.
I did buy some PHM and some MST.UN (with his agreement) for my 23 year old. I am trying to hold his hand on PHM as he has lost half of his investment.
My 26 year old has a substantial amount of BCE, they both hold RY, CGX, MST.UN, PSK, PMO005, MFC4143 and RBF448. I was thinking of selling the mutual funds as their MERs are 1.97% and 1.2%.
What would be your recommendations for the short term portion (let say 2 year time frame) and the longer term portion of their investment ?
Thanks.
Elaine

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Can you comment on the Direxion shares 3x leveraged ETFs? The ones I'm specifically looking at are DUST, NUGT, and CURE. I understand they're high risk (especially DUST and NUGT) and swing pretty drastically in both directions. Would you view DUST as being a good, but aggressive, hedge against the general economy? CURE also looks interesting as a bet that the healthcare sector will continue to do well.

Thanks,
Jordan
