Q: Hi Team,
Can you give a brief lowdown of EQB please. What is the bullish story with them? Strengths, risks etc. Do you see more upside in them compared to the traditional big banks? Also; looking back at a 10 yr chart on eqb they seemed to have struggled in the past to maintain any sort of uptrend. I see they had a big run up in 2019 and 2021 but only to have a drastic crash back down again. What caused the last crash in 2021 from the mid 150's to 75 range? And is this issue resolved? Is this a comeback story? I don't really know the history of the bank. Thanks

Shane.

Q: Hi 5i Team - The share price of Argonaut Gold had a recent major one day drop and has shown little recovery since. Could you explain the one day drop in price and also your opinion on whether it is worth holding based on fundamentals and exploration as well as earnings potential. Also do you think the sell-off is overdone.
Thanks.

Q: This is more a comment. This company has spend a significant (over $20 million) on R and D, in particular automation, over the last three years and the benefits are clear to see. The cfo told me that the new technology has performed beyond expectation and it is equivalent to employing 100 welders.
The dual share structure, while often maligned, does have its benefits. It means management has a huge incentive to get things right.
