Q: Hi 5i team,

Thank you very much for the new report entitled "5 from 5i". I especially liked the link to an article in Aswath Damodaran's blog entitled "Facebook Purchase of WhatApp". I've always wondered why some companies can report little in the way of earnings and yet command very high share prices. I've often been told that it was because of their very fast growth rate, but this article provides another very plausible explanation and will guide me when trying to interpret the potential of "hot" but unprofitable stocks. Thanks for adding the new feature on your website.

Q: Hello wonderful 5i team,

I would appreciate your input on Athabasca Oil (ATH). It had a nice spike today in price. Did they settle with the First Nations on the Dover project? Do you think thre company still has some up potential and would it be better to hold on and ride the momentum? This stock represents 5% of my portfolio. Originally purchased at $6.40. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and Team, I'm considering switching out of Bonterra, BNE, for Surge, SGY, plus Whitecap, WCP. May I please have your in-depth analysis and thoughts on this switch? Looking for better and faster growth (and dividend growth) compared to BNE within the sector. BNE is still struggling to reach (let alone pass) its 2011 share price high! Thanks!
