Q: Hello Peter,
First, I want to thank you and your team for a fabulous job. I really find your service useful not just from stock selection, but gaining knowledge in the industry overall. Best wishes for Xmas and the New Year.
The stocks are from various sectors so not apples to apples comparison but if you had to choose the list from lower risk to higher risk, what would it look like and what factors did you use to select the profile.. Many thanks.

Kind regards

Q: Could you provide brief summary to I'm sure a complicated question?

How is it that some analysts, including 5i, are able to predict companies will be taken over (like People was recently?).

It sounds like sometimes companies can seek it as a long-term plan (eg is that Well's plan?), I know sometimes they're hostile, and sometimes just seem advantageous for all. What are the usual qualities? Eg undervalued, but growing profits? Usually small-cap?

What companies would you not be surprised to see bought out over the next year?

Q: I am pleased to say that with your advice I have enjoyed outstanding results and my portfolio is now at a level where I would like to protect against a significant market correction.
Reading your Q&A's there is references to puts and calls. From what I ascertain puts/calls can be a tool to protect and also enhance returns. Can you recommend resources for someone like me who is interested in learning more about this strategy.
Thanks
John

Q: Can you enlighten me on this one: “a blank cheque company”. I have bought a few stocks over the years that made me feel like i signed a blank cheque ... but never one that actually declared itself to be a blank cheque company.

BFT hasn’t started business, no revenue, seemingly owns nothing. So what is it? Is there anything here to justify putting a bit of mad money into this non-entity?

Thanks for your help; and please add me to the long list of appreciative and happy 5i’ers wishing you and all the 5i team the best of all life has to offer now and in the years ahead. Merry Christmas 5i.

Q: Do you know what's moving Versabank lately? I was about to sell my shares about a month ago after two years during which it went nowhere. Do you think it is worth hanging on? What would be a good replacement in the small-mip cap financial sector, other than GSY.
