Q: Is "Pick and Pay" for cable subscribers positive, negative or neutral for DHX? What is the short position on the stock? Also do you still see Amaya as an acquisition target by larger competitors as in the April report, or is it the big fish now? What would be the next milestone in its growth plan to watch for, perhaps a legalization in a large Democratic state with the skids greased by Gen. Wesley K. Clark, Independent Director; also what is the short position? Thanks, J.

Q: Hello 5i team,
I hold DHX Media. It is now trading at over 80 times forward earnings and that worries me a bit; what is your take on this stock that seems to be the "Canadian darling".
Regards,
Tony

Q: Hi team. My AYA is now 10.5% of my 3 PFs which as a whole are very well balanced thanks to you. I had doubled up when I saw good news. The first buy is placed in my TFSA and the double up in my non Registered. I am in a low tax bracket. Do you feel this present rise in price is just a flare up so to speak? Would it be a good idea to trim some shares? Or should I wait until after Friday (TSX info)? thanks so much once again. I am up 48% in my entire TFSA since April of this year because of you all..

Q: In addition to the secondary offering of units and debentures, Mr Cheskis has offered 200k of his Boyd Group units for sale, once again, leaving him with just 218k holding. Should it be a concern? With this offering, units today, have traded as low as $42.15, with a high of $47.90, not long ago. With so much volatility, do you still consider it as a stable investment with decent upside in future? Is it a strong buying opportunity @42.50 or or still has downside risk? Do you think co. has taken too much debt? Thanks for your valuable insight.

Q: Hi 5i team, if Contran (CSS) shareholders reject the offer by Transforce should we be concerned with holding this company moving forward? Does the action of management and the board (recommending we accept the Transforce offer) not demonstrate incompetence or at the very least very poor judgement? Are you still comfortable recommending this company knowing the board does not appear to place it's shareholders interest first? Thank you.

Q: I just happily renewed my subscription to 5i. Thanks for the reminder.

Question regarding BYD.UN (Boyd Income Group): Can you provide this year and next year's expected earnings per share estimates? My Investor's Edge and iTrade don't seem to provide this info for this stock. My best estimate is $2.10 for this year and $2.35 for next year which would give Boyd an 18ish p/e for 2015 with still lots of predictable, repeatable growth in the subsequent years. Am I in the ballpark or out to lunch?

Thanks.
