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

Q: For the sake of calming fellows here invested in HomeCapital. Items from the conference call going on right now:
1- Only 45 brokers out of 4000 falsified information
2- Only income was falsified, not the credit or property value
3- Nobody inside the company was involved with the 'trickery'
4- An anonymous letter was sent to the board to warn them. Investigation began as soon as the letter.
5- They don't anticipate higher losses from those mortgages

Q: Hello 5i Team,

Checking in for an update on MDA risks as discussed in your Nov 2014 report on MDA... Is currency a factor in the current slide in MDA? What is the status of the SSL litigation with ViaSat? You note in your report on MDA that there is a large customer based out of Russia - is there an issue there?

At these levels (closed at $82.82 today), it seems like a good buy... I sold my position last year at $94 and have been looking to re-enter since then.

Thanks - so great to have you in my court! Cheers! Heather

Q: I have a half position in GH in a well diversified portfolio and was wondering what you think of the company and whether it would be a good idea to go to a full position at today's levels. Thanks!!

Q: How much weight should be put on adjusted earnings per share as opposed to earnings per share? It seems that many companies find ways to make adjustments so that the adjusted earnings are significantly higher than earnings. I can rationalize how netting out amortization might be reasonable especially if the rate of amortization does not reflect the expected life of whatever is being amortized, but is also reasonable to net out acquisition related expenses (which are actual monetary expenses)? If it is, then shouldn't the adjusted earnings be a good news story rather than worrying about the actual earnings? If not why bother with all the adjustments?

The next section attributes this loss to two entities:

Can you explain who/what the non-controlling interest is, and why they make money in the quarter? Thanks Cameron

Q: Hi Peter,

After reaching a new high several weeks ago, Boyd seems to be dropping quite steadily including today. I would expect that they would benefit from growing operations in the us but is this a general reaction to everything paying a dividend or did I miss some report or analyst downgrade on the stock.

Thanks
