Q: EIF and now AET.un: "Leaky"

My primary major concern is with EIF's leaks, big drop in share price and then a quick bounce. Anyone having inside information, at one point yesterday, would have at least a 26% one day win off the low while the rest of us took it on the chin and in our pocket books to to speak.

Now today we have what looks like leaks in AET as per another member's question.

When do the powers that be step in and call these companies on the carpet to account for this behaviour?

I am an investor who can deal with volatility BUT NOT when someone else is playing by a different set of rules.

I know somone who emailed EIF but they did not even get the courtesy of a reply.

I would appreciate both your insight and suggestions for handling these kinds of events.

Thank you.

I would have thought a trading halt would have to occur on this news. Are there guidelines on this?
Thanks

Q: Constellation has been "A" rated and I think it's no secret it is the current favourite 5i Canadian stock for numerous reasons, great chart. I'd like to know what CSU would need to do to earn an "A+" rating to rise above its very few "A" peers; would a stock split help? If CSU can't make "A+" what non-Canadian company might be on the horizon for the "A+" rating, recognizing it's not your area of expertise? If I'd never heard of 5i I would not have been in CSU since $115 and since the initial purchase have averaged up, and I sure wouldn't be in "A" territory! Thanks, 5i.

Q: AC.B, would you buy this stock now for a short term trade? I never owned any airline stocks but was thinking of very small position of 5,000 shares as a trade-very tiny part of my portfolio. There seem to be a lot of positives coming together right now with this company??

Q: Hi Peter,

My son is planning to go to University next year and I did some bad investing decisions for his RESP portfolio including investments in WIN, AM etc which dropped in value a lot. The portfolio currently has the following:

KBL (40%) down 7%
LOY(18%) down 19%
HWO(24%) down 5%
INA(18%) flat

Would you suggest a replacement to these investments (the total current value is around $15.5k) so I can at least gain back the 30% I have lost, over the next one to two year time frame. Thanks a lot

Q: I have been heavily overweight in MG and ACQ this year with impressive gains.As various reports still suggest today's prices to be entry points, should I continue to run for a bit or should I lighten up now.If the latter what stocks do you recommend. I already have large holdings in RY,TD and BNS and more than half of your model portfolio.

Q: I hope this is not as dumb as it may appear....There are many very good companies and ETF's that are illiquid, some trade by appointment only. Is the biggest factor in this the fact that the shareholders are unwiiling to part with stocks due to their perceived quality of the company/ETF?
