Q: Thanks for the webinar today. It's reminded me to think about fundamentals. Normally I rely on you think about that for me (I follow BE), but not always. I hung on to Amaya after you removed if from the portfolio and bought a bit more at ~19.50 when the original bid came and you did a great blog about two "trades" (the other being SPB--it was a nailbiter but I did well on that one).

There's a lot of noise on this company and I want to ignore that. What is your view about fundamentals and outlook for AYA? If you think there are better opportunities right now, could you please give me some suggestions? Doesn't need to be the same sector. I want to avoid the pitfall of hanging on too long if this is not a very promising company long term.

Thanks.

Q: I own both NYX and IT. I am up a little on IT and down a little on NYX. Which of these company's do you think is better to hold onto? Should I sell IT and buy more NYX to take advantage of the cheap share price? Or should I continue to hold both?

Thanks

Q: Large-cap healthcare ETFs are giving-up their post-election bump, in some cases (for example, HHL) approaching nine-month lows. Are there any that are becoming interesting, or is this sector just too instrinsically volatile? In the past, 5i has spoken well of IHI (NYSE), do you still like it?

Q: maybe you can comment on nyx.
most people bought this stock because of eric nuttall who was pounding the table to buy it, i bought at 1.70 it went to 2.20, did not sell and then i sold at 1.50, i can guarantee you eric nuttall has been long gone from this stock.

Q: Do you forecast continued price appreciation in the shares of this bank ? I bought a couple of months ago at just over $26 and am now up 19%. Time to sell or hang on for the ride ?? This stock seems to be not well followed outside Western Canada and few analysts are aware of how well secured this bank's loans are, despite its western exposure. For example, from 2009 to 2014 the stock price of CWB outperformed Royal Bank. It only declined dramatically after the decline in oil prices, which now seems to have bottomed. Maybe it is time to buy more ?

Q: I used to own XTC and left in disappointment - bought at around and sold at $14.70 and sold at about $15.00. In between I wasted a lot of time waiting and finally left with much gain.

XTC has really fallen on hard times of late and I just want to know if it's a good bottom fishing candidate, or there is no rush to re-enter this sector yet? MG and others are still recovering and I assume it would take XTC (a much small company) to regain its traction.

One positive thing is they did raised their dividend in the past years. Is that dividend sustainable, or it was raised in a vain effort to boost share price?

Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i team,
I hold all the stocks in the balanced portfolio except AEM and SYZ. Regarding my exposure to the tech sector, in addition to CSU, ENGH and KXS, I also hold DSG, GIB.A and OTC; so I do not think that it is necessary to add SYZ to the mix.
There seems to be some momentum in the base metals sector, as per your response to an earlier question; instead of selecting a particular company, as per your suggestions, I decided to gain exposure via either XBM or ZMT.
I look forward to your comments.

Q: My wife recently purchased a pair of glasses on-line. I was skeptical but the process was very easy, the fit turned out to be much better than her last pair that was purchased at a store and the price was a small fraction of the cost of a store bought pair. My concern about BCI is how are they going to counter this trend with some very aggressive players moving into the on-line glasses business? Would this be a concern going forward?
