Q: Hi gang, and thanks for all the good advice.

I haven't see Enerflex mentioned since Feb 2014, and have been following the company for quite some time. In this sector I own Shawcor and Canyon Services (as well as Suncor and Black Diamond). I am thinking about adding either Enerflex or Secure Energy Services (SES). Do you favour one or the other over the next 5 years, and why? Thanks in advance. Keep up the good work

Q: Nuance Communications NUAN (US)
I thought Carl Icahn’s investment in NUAN would shake things, but it is down ~20% from a year ago. Any hope for NUAN? Other technology companies are said to have looked at buying NUAN but no offers.

I do not want to shoot this dog, but... (I can't use the tax loss). Your comment would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Adam

Q: BDT looks like it has fallen off a cliff recently and no apparent sign of a bottom.

Any thoughts on why?

I have held this for several years and am still in the black.

Buy, sell or hold?

Thank you for your help with this decision.

Q: I have a 25% position in the Canadian banks. I am a long term investor and love their annual, if not twice a year dividend increases. Against this backdrop, I am contemplating adding maybe a 2% to 2.5% position in either EH (EasyHome) or HCG (Home Capital Group). I do not have any Financial Services exposure in my portfolio other than the Canadian banks.

On first blush, I think my 25% in banks plus any other financial services stock may be too much of a concentration in related sectors. However, upon closer inspection, wont companies like HCG/EH act quite a bit differently from the banks, as a rising interest environment would increase bank profit margins and potentially slow HCG and EH's growth?

Acceptable to add either HCG or EH, or is this too much of a concentration in related financial sectors?

Thanks, as always.

John
