Q: Good Evening,

I am currently light on financials. I have a 2.8% position in SLF, 3.4% position in BNS and a 2.6% position in GSY. Would you recommend adding to these, or starting a position in ECN or something else. I am a long term investor who doesn't mind some risk.

Thanks,
Janet

Q: This stock was talked about by an technical analyst at BNN recently. The chart was trending down for a long time and recently started to break out to the upside and he thought it would be a good time to enter this stock. Also, on BNN ET was a favourite. Could you give me your opinion on these two questions? Thank you very much. Long time member Dennis
