Q: While analysts are still recommending US regional banks as a play on higher interest rates, I heard on BNN this morning that insider selling in regional banks has reached record levels. Do the insiders know something the analyst don`t? I should add that I have a half position in KRE.

Q: I own both CVE & ECA for many years now .Back when they were one company (Encana).

Now that the recovery has taken place my diversification in energy is higher than I want it to be . I have Suncor and BP as my core companies and I want to get rid of either CVE and or ECA (maybe both).

Can you give me consensus estimate for both CVE and ECA. And can you give me your opinion as to which one I should get rid of (CVE or ECA).

Lastly do you believe SU and BP are good core company choices for my energy sector allocation.

Thank you

Q: Hello Peter et al, could I have your current thoughts on Tucows. Valuation, growth prospects, current momentum?
Thanks
Dave

Q: Greetings,

Nicw gains in QEC over a short timeframe. I'm tempted to just take the profit and go away happy but I keep thinking about your advice regarding selling winners too early which I've certainly done more than once. Now that Quebec has passed Bill 106 it's hard to see another catalyst in the next year or two and it seems this will just drift lower. What do you think?

Q: Its gone up a lot since you added. Is it too late for me to buy?

Q: Hello Team: I have been asked to look after my Mother in Law's non-registered portfolio. I want to diversify it and deploy the cash that is sitting there. Strong dividend payors is the priority and she can tolerate moderate risk if good growth potential exists.
- since she is overweight in Utilities, should I sell EMA or VNR (BEP.Un is a core holding)
- would you switch out CRR.UN in favour of ECI (understanding they are in different sectors, which is the better holding)?
- with cash I want to invest in 4 sectors she is currently not in, and thought of starting positions in WEF for Basic materials, SYZ for Tech, WSP for Industrial and for Consumer Cyclical would like your opinion on best of either NFI, MX, MG or XTC
Please feel free to substitute other names if I am not on the right track.

Many Thanks
Scott

Q: 5i Team,
Excellent call on XTC few days ago.
Where do you see XTC fair value?

Do you see any other opportunities where price doesn't reflect the business fundamentals that is too cheap to ignore.

Thank you for great service.

Q: Current views ?

Q: GDI is not in the sexiest of industries but you have to clean everyday so there is always business. Current price looks low, any thoughts for this as a growth opportunity.

Thanks
Jim
