Q: I noticed that in one of your replies you said that most 5i staff have been buying during this downturn. I have bought through other downturns. But, Trump has me spooked. You never know what he might do. You feel that this time it may be different. If you feel free to share it, I would be interested to know what gives you this confidence, what your buying strategy is and finally, wha stocks do you see as particularly interesting at this time
Thanks

Q: Hi, What are the pros and cons of agreeing to stock lending in an investment account.
Does it matter if it is a registered or non registered account?

How does it work?

Is it a common practise for investment companies such as Wood Gundy to activate it in their client accounts without their clients knowledge?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Q: Not a question, just a comment - The Daily, a free podcast done by the NYT, did their daily podcast on Warren Buffett last Wednesday - it's an easy and informative listen.

Q: It has been awhile since Kinaxis has been at this level. I know that you like the company, but do you see any reason to trim or pull back at this time. I am at 5% but that doesn't keep me up at night.

It just seems they get a few good quarters in a row and then one bad one bumps them back down for a couple years and then they claw there way back to where they are now.

Thanks for the great service. Have a wonderful day.

Q: On GSY earnings . Revenue was up 10% and yet profit " fell " ..... As GSY's business model is pretty simple { earnings based on interest charged on the amount lent } Could 5i explain how if more money was taken in { revenue } how it is possible for profit to fall ? ..... It's kind of like a bank saying it lent 10% more money but somehow we lost money { profit } .... Thanks for your terrific service ......

Q: Hi there. with the current economic outlook in the US being very uncertain and the dollar possibly weakening as the US economy struggles would you recommend any of these names? VGK, FEZ, or EZU? The idea being to build up a position of 10% of my portfolio over the next two or three quarters betting on Europe continuing to outperform the US. Thank-you.
