Q: My question is sort of on CXI. I use stockwatch.com to get online quotes and noticed that there are a few different quotes for (I think) different exchanges. Usually these different exchanges only differ by a few cents, but for CXI today, the difference was quite significant. My question is what are the exchanges (TSX, Chi-X, CX2, Omega, TriAct) and why is the price so different? Is there an arbitrage opportunity?

Q: KXS was up over 5% on Monday. 15 minutes prior to the Monday open the stock had a bid/ask of $55. Can you shed some light on how the pre market TSX works. The stock closed on Friday around $62 and as stated dropped as low as $55 before opening around $61. Are stocks actually traded in the pre market and if not how was the bid/ask of $55 determined? Thank you.

Q: Hi Gang,

You mention an expected sell-off of BOS & XTC before year end.

What would you expect the timing and bottom resistance for the sell-off of each company to be?

I would like to take advantage of the tax avoidance while minimizing my hit in participating in the sell/repurchase. I have high hopes for both entities but maybe my focus should be elsewhere?

Thank you for your input and all the great work you all do. This is a great community and I am happy to be a part of it.

Q: Being a relatively young investor in my late 20s I think I should be allocating more of my portfolio to high quality growth stocks. (I likely have too much allocated to blue chip dividend cos) I have owned ATD.B, CSU and SJ for some time and was wondering if you could suggest some other similar consistent growth cos to look into?

Q: There is an article on Bloomberg " Aussie banks 7000 mile Blockchain experiment could change trade " It's worth a read to get a better understanding of the viabiity of blockchain transactions in international trade. I believe DH Corp's relationship with Rabobank and Malauzai is designed to move DH corp into the fintech world, specifically regarding the use of blockchain transactions in international business dealings. What does the 5I team think of this and does DH have the ability to become a significant player in this area?

Q: I am just about to give up on Empire A. Do you think Cineplex would make a good switch in a Balanced/Income portfolio?

Or should I just bide my time as I am currently down 27% and hate to lock in the loss? Letting go is always a problem for me as I suppose it is with a lot of retail investors.

Q: In the conference call the CEO specifically stated that share buy backs are not being considered. Their three goals for now are 1) investing in the businesses, 2) reducing debt, 3) and supporting the dividend. However they are suspending the DRIP program. What would be the logic for this?
Also, do you know, and would you consider this a management that can be taken at their word? The experience with Wi-Lan and Concordia was not encouraging.

Q: I am a retired income/growth investor, have sold some PKI (made over a double) and looking to reinvest in a similar growth/income stock. Would you have a preference between FSZ or EXE, they both pay about 5% and seem to have good prospects. If you have another preference I am all ears. Thanks,
John
