Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I looked at a summary of the their business activities and it seems to be principally with professional managers wherein the new disclosure rules will not be an issue. Do you have any information on how much of their income is derived from services to retail clients or others where the disclosure rules would be a factor?

Q: I agree that the offer price is a pretty good deal for Paypal and not so much for the shareholders.

Why don't all 5i readers submit their vote, turning down the offer and see what happens.

I'm going to vote no for my 35,000 shares. Why don't the rest of you do the same.

Lets see what happens. Nothing ventured nothing gained. Perhaps we can get a better offer.

Best

Sheldon

Q: Hello 5i.
I was contemplating how being part of 5i has brought me to an investment arena that for me is sometime uncomfortable; volatility.

So then it goes to say I have 5i to thank for showing me an investment like Tio Networks. With the PayPal Offer on the table it makes experiencing some extra volatility worth the inclusion in a Portfolio.

You do offer an excellent resource for Investors.
Thanks
Dave

Q: Greetings: since your January report on FSV the company has posted quarterly and full year 2016. The stock responded well. Can you comment on your prior concerns about valuation? They raised dividend, so I assume they are confident in the future. I have owned it since before the spinoff and am up over 100%. My position is still less than 5% because I sold Colliers, which was half of my original position, but I am even more concerned about valuation now since the rise in share price. Should I be? Just wondering if it is time to move on, but reluctant to sell winner. Thanks
