Q: Hi,
Can you please give me your take on ECN.TO-do you see much upside with this stock? It seems to be trading below NAV and I was wondering what are upcoming catalysts?
Thank you.

Q: If you were to add ECN to a Balanced Portfolio today, what would the percentage be?....thanks....Tom
Q: I own GSY in both my RESP and TFSA accounts, somewhat by mistake. I'd like to switch one of the two to ECN for diversification. Would you consider ECN (larger, seems less volatile) as the best fit for RESP and GSY for TFSA? Or the other way around?
Q: Hi there, which of the two stocks do you believe would have greater long term upside? I would be looking at at longterm hold (ie: 5+ years). Thank you!!
Q: The acquisition announced yesterday is very accretive addition to ECN's business. A purchase price of only $100M US adds 22% to net income. ECN raised $2.7B US from asset sales earlier this year, so the war chest is full. Am I missing something (debt paid down from the the $2.7B?) or is this a company on the verge of much bigger things?
Q: Hi 5i team, I know that you are not promoting market timing but I was just wondering what your thoughts are on the following; I am a young retired person with most of my financial needs met with my defined benefit pension. My investments are 100% in equities as I consider my pension to be the fixed income portion. Where the market has been so strong lately and with no recent correction do you think it would be wise for a conservative retired income investor to take approximately 25-50% of his investments and purchase good quality rate reset preferred shares with the belief that during a period of extreme volatility and market correction that these instruments would be affected far less than common shares? The only preferred shares I hold currently is ECN.PR.C. Please tell me if you believe my logic is flawed and if it is not could you recommend a few other good yielding preferreds or other instruments you believe would hold up well during volatile markets. Thanks again for all you do. Mario.

Q: Good Morning,
I would like to add a couple of mid cap growth names to my portfolio for a 2 - 3 year hold. Without regard to sector how would you rank ECN, HWD, MX, CJT, DIV and ZCL? Any commentary is most welcome.
Thanks as always,
Dennis

Q: I am retired living on dividend income. I just sold my EFN as it hasn't really done anything the past two years. I have a small position of ECN from the spinoff and am wondering if I should add my EFN proceeds to ECN?
I am ok with the 1% yield as an income investor if you expect above average capital gains over the next 2-3 vs bank stocks (TD or BNS).
Or if ECN returns will be similar to TD or BNS, then I will sell ECN also and just invest the proceeds into the bank stocks.

Q: Have been waiting for CXI shares to do something for a couple of years now. Do you think ECN offers more potential at this point or should I at least wait until CXI reports near the end of the year given that the summer is their busy time and last quarter was very good.
Appreciate your insight.

Q: First off I am 30yrs old slightly more growth investor and plan on holding for long term. I have a 25 CND stock portfolio of approx. 300k and Pension of 100k split between a Global Fund and CND Fund. In reviewing my personal portfolio I feel my financial exposure maybe needs some work (17% Weighting). I have a full position in GSY, TD,SLF and a half position in CXI. My question is because TD and SLF are probably already represented in my pension fund and they don't really fit the style of my portfolio would you look at switching them out? If so what suggestions would you have that would compliment GSY and CXI. Thanks

Q: What would be your top 5 dividend stocks (excluding banks & resources)which are presently undervalued based on their most recent earnings and would have the highest potential growth in the next 12 to 18 months. Thanks
Q: I own a small percentage of ECN (no gain/loss) and EFN (at a loss currently). I'm thinking of consolidating my stocks by selling one or both. I'm wondering whether I should sell both ECN and EFN and consolidate in a stock such as GSY, or whether I should sell the EFN and consolidate in ECN. What do you think? Do you have any suggestions or recommendations in other similar stocks that I could consolidate in? Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
Q: Hi team, For my TFSA would you add to a small position in ECN or start a new position in GSY? Thanks.

Q: Hello 5I, Am I right to assume that min rate-resets less vulnerable to future rate increases as regular ones? I am looking at ENC.pr.c, pays min 6.25 divs. redeemable at $25.00, trading at $23.45, new issue was underwritten by TD-BMO and RBC how safe is it, can they stop paying this div? I would appreciate your advise, perhaps suggesting a couple others.
Many thanks, J.A.P., Burlington

Q: I need to add to the financial sector of my portfolio. I own 3 stocks in this sector, a full position in BNS and would like to add to SLF or ECN. I was going to add to ECN but began to wonder if ECN would be negatively impacted by rising interest rates especially with their debt being over 2x or would they simply pass on their increased expenses to their customer? Not sure how much competition they have in that space. Thank you in advance for your expertise.
Q: My financials consist of the above two stocks and a full position in GSY. AIF has been week and I am down 9%. AIF is 1.85% of my portfolio. ECN has done well and is up 12%. It makes up 2.25% of my portfolio. Which would you top up to a full position at this time. I also have a managed account that holds the usual canadian banks so I have narrowed my choice to the above two.
