Q: Regrettably I am holding approx 2.5% position in COV and am down 30%. I see that you have cut it loose from your portfolio. Based on your rationale that the position is now too small to hold, do you feel that I can make a case to hold. I bought it for the growth and am basically a buy and hold investor. Some work, some don't. I've held RHT thru the troubles and am now just slightly up, based on buying at the bottom, at least the last bottom? Thanks for your expert opinion which sometimes is tough to swallow.

Q: CSU.CA hit a new high yesterday. About 2 weeks ago they reported 3Q results where they missed projections. After the results the stock was slightly weak and now hits a new high. I am not complaining since we own the stock (thanks to you) but I am puzzled that the stock hit a new high so soon after missing a quarter. Do you find the trading unusual or pretty normal?
Tax loss selling seems to be shaping up to be much more muted this year compared to last year. Maybe investors are just more optimistic and that is the reason for CSU recent stock action?
Thanks,
Jim

Q: If you check a couple of well read investment blogs you will find several posts suggesting 5i research is working with shorts - see TSGI, RHT, COV. You just removed COV and Largo from your portfolios. The performance of many 5i holdings in abysmal. Your recent interview suggests one of many investor errors is holding a poor performing stock for too long. It is no wonder so many mutual funds underperform the broad market when they hold all sectors and keep dogs way too long. Please explain 5i position and why you continue to add companies that are either dump and pump or poor managers.

Q: hi, 5I
Your response to a question about buying that stock:
We would be comfortable buying BEP.UN today.
My question is what parameter(s) are you rely on to say that, apart the fact that it is doing new high everyday (I like the change from limited partnership, and the market also )
But this is a one time, and it seems very expensive to me.
Your detailed answer would be very appreciated

Q: Once the vote on conversion occurs, would you be able to provide members with an update,and explanation around tax implications? It appears there is some confusion around if taxes have to be paid upon conversion or at a later date when shares are sold. Also, what will the dividend be as under the current structure we receive interest
Thanks for the great service,and recommendation on Boyd.
