Q: In view of the effect on the market of the unknowns coming up in the next few months - with US election and its aftermath, and good possibility of US bankrate going up in Dec. I am thinking of going defensive. I have quite a few of the stocks listed in both your Balanced and Income portfolios, could you please list for me which of these stocks you would designate as best 'defensive' - (whatever that means). Thanks again, always look forward to hearing your comments.

Q: Hi All at 5i! There is a 3:1 stock split coming for this company. Is it better to buy the stock before or after the split? And would the same apply to any stock split? I was under the impression that a stock split dilutes the value of the companies shares.I read that in ADW's case it increases the liquidity of the stock . Is this a good thing? Does it have a liquidity problem? Thank you, Tamara

Q: 1) The board of directors is staffed with a lot of what seems to be high level financial people with a lot of experience, what I did not see was a high level IT person, which for a company who is selling IT solutions for banks seemed a little remiss. My question was "how can you manage that portion of the company in a very specialized area if not even one person on the board knows anything about IT?

2)There was nothing in the literature about the security of their IT platforms. In the age where IT security and on line financial fraud is a huge concern, I thought it should have at least a nod in the presentation.

Thank you.

Q: Since being removed from 5i's model portfolio MDA has tumbled about 8% on strong volume. I'm not sure if there's a connection here or just coincidence, or some other reason for the decline? I wonder if you agree with TD's analyst consensus of Q3 earnings expected to be flat at $1.51 compared to 2015 and a revenue rise to $542 MM from 515? I exited this position when you did, now looking to re-enter. Thanks, J.
