Q: I own the following tech stocks: CSU, ESL and MDA

I'd like to add two more tech stocks to my portfolio. What would you suggest? SYZ, OTC, GIB, something else?

And should I buy them now or wait for the fall?

Best,

Carla

Q: Hi,

Any good reason why BCI keeps dropping in price? I'm up 40% and wonder if I should sell?
Do you still recommend XTC as a slightly risky growth stock, even with it's recent increase?
Although the two companies couldn't be more different, I can only own one risky small cap, and of the two, which would you prefer for the next two years?

Q: I noticed at noon today that BTE is at approx $14. I bought these shares originally at $37.37 and saw them go up to approx $49.00. Do you think I should sell them at a loss and use the money to buy White Cap or should I hang in there for the long slow term of recovery from low oil prices?

Q: I see there have been a lot of questions about dalsin and greens sale of phm and convalo shares. On BNN last week an analyst mentioned that one could transfer shares of these companies directly into shares of the mutual finds that michael decter and micheal dalsin started. I think that that's what is happening here, that they are transferring the shares into the fund which holds the same companies.

Q: It also appears the founders have privately sold their shares in CXV too. This likely in part explains the sell off for both companies. Any insight here is greatly appreciated.

Q: Peter & Team, I can't find any information on Dalsin and Greene selling their shares, as suggested in the previous question. There is a July 13th company press release pre-announcing very impressive results, a 14.5 million share buy back (5% of issued shares) and executive leadership changes; nothing about the founders cashing in (although they are taking on non-executive board roles). Can you please clarify. Thank you.

Q: Good morning,

I have been considering adding to a holding in Exco and wonder if the dip yesterday was the result of something worrisome or just profit taking and a possible buying opportunity. Any insight?

Q: Hi there,

GIB.A seems to be a favorite among analysts on BNN with numerous "Top Pick" designations in the past month. ESL looks pretty nice on it's chart but is less talked about. Would you recommend one over the other for someone needing exposure to this sector? If you could answer which is your preferred and why it would be a big help.

Q: Can I get your thoughts on yieldcos, Pattern in particular? It seems to be an unsustainable business model to me. They get capital which will accept low returns so long as they keep growing the distribution but they have to keep paying higher prices to keep the rate of growth going. Eventually the growth rate has to run out of steam and then their cost of capital would rise and there would be a world of hurt. Am I missing anything?

Q: Hi 5i team,
I've read back to the previous questions about the CSU rights and am still confused. Here are some more questions:
- when does the interest start accumulating?
- why do I get the privilege of using 10.596 rights to pay $115 for a debenture worth $100 (obviously I'm missing something)
- will the debentures be less attractive if I don't hold them until maturity?
- do the rights transfer with the stock? (ex., if I sell my CSU today, do I lose the rights? if I purchase more CSU today, do I get more rights?)
- how safe is the yield and/or principal?

I can't be the only Confused Canuck on this one!
As always, thanks for all your help.
