Q: What is the case for buying ECN? It hasn't done much since the announcement. You will get a whopping big dividend eventually but that's basically just being chopped off the value of the company so the stock value will plunge by around the same amount. Maybe the new remaining company will be worth more - or maybe not. But you can buy that after the split anyway if things are positive. Am I wrong here? Why should I buy ECN as opposed to something else which has strong momentum and performance?

Q: The quarter looks like a blowout to me with 147% rise in earnings! Thanks for this pick and well done again. Your thoughts on the quarter and a question: does Brookfield have anything to do with this anymore in terms of management? I know it was spun out but I wonder if Brookfield still makes up a good part of the board.

Q: I have the impression that among the large Canadian banks you still favour BNS. Looking at a 1-year chart comparison, I see that even the usual laggards, CIBC and Laurentian Bank, have been doing better than BNS. By sticking with BNS, do you anticipate better performance going forward? (I own it and have not been overly impressed - what is the rationale for hanging on to it?)
