I'm guessing you're reply will be along the lines of each situation is different but hey I've loads of credits so appreciate your experience.

Thanks

Q: I like the idea of New Look Vision rolling up prescription eye glass companies. I just spent a lot for a little bit of plastic in front of my eyes. I'm not sure why BCI does not perform better. Are there a lot of intangibles in their balance sheet. My real question is whether hearing aids are part of their business. If not is there a similar company that specializes in hear aid companies?

Q: Hi 5I,
If I'm not mistaken the US is slowly opening up to online gambling which clearly will benefit TSGI . My question is more related to the psychology around how fast or slow these markets are opening up. After all Vegas and all the casino operators exist so gambling itself is not a problem. How does it differ being an online industry ? I never could work this bit out.
Thanks

Q: CPD Normally price of prefs will go down when rates go up. The lower price increasing the rate of return to compete in the market.
I’ve been trying to get my head around the newer minimum rate reset prefs. What would be the effect on such prefs of rising and/lower interest rates.
For example let’s say the current 5 yr bond is1.75%,
What would be the effect of the rate at reset if the rate is 2% vs say 1,50%
Use ECN.PR.A for your explanation.
Correct my assumptions if I’m wrong.
Thank you,
Roy

Q: Last year an airline in Europe gave us a Wirecard for taking a later flight . We used it for shopping and restaurants and then cashed in the balance for Euros at an ATM . Great concept that has grown incredibly according to Handelsblatt . Is there an ADR or even an OTC listing for this ? Is there a similar card in North America ?
Thanks

Q: Hi 5I
It has been my experience for the last few years that around the 2ND half of August my portfolio (hopefully we'll diversified both by sector and geographically) sees high volatility and drops only to pick up in September where it left off as nothing happened,! Just curious to know if there is any known "effect" (like a Santa Claus rally type event) that exists or whether it is just an odd recurring feeling that I'm experiencing.
Thanks
