Q: I notice that there have been a few small brokerage outfits closing up this year, Octagon being the most recent. Edgecrest Capital packed it in in September. Some of these smaller outfits had positions in micocaps. I know Edgecrest had a large position in Questor. Can some of the sell-off of micro-caps like questor be attributed to the liquidation that inevitably ocurs when people move accounts?

Q: Hello 5i, I don't currently have any exposure to the lumber sector. I'm thinking of adding CFX, ADN or WEF. They all seem to be moving again. I do like dividends but don't need them for income at this time. Do you have a favorite in this sector.
Thanks again

Q: Hello 5I Team! Here goes with my first question to you.

At first glance it appears PLI released positive news today, so would you please give us your take on their news and outlook. Given that the stock is down nearly 10% today, is this a good entry point to acquire more shares?

Currently, what is the 5I intermediate and long term view for PLI?

Thank you.

Q: Hello - Would I be correct in saying that the price for Fortis is presently cheap? When I look back over a 5 year period the P/E ratio appears to be at its lowest level right now. Would you agree?

I have no data that goes back further than that so I don't know what the average P/E would be over a longer time frame.

Q: I own a little ZAR, and it has gone down a lot since I bought it, but now the chart looks interesting, and there has been quite a lot of insider buying lately. Do you think it would be a good idea now to double down, and reduce my ACB?
