Q: hello 5i:
on 2 March, Gary asked the following question:
Question: I am looking to add some of the names that you cover. In your opinion - which 5-10 names offer the best potential for price appreciation over the medium to long term.

As a counter, could I ask for your 5-10 best VALUE picks, that would include stocks with secure dividends for the medium to long term.
thanks

Q: Hi Peter and team

I was thinking of purchasing Home Capital after checking it out carefully. However I notice in today's Globe that there has been insider selling to the tune of over 48,000 shares. Do you think this is a cause for concern?

Many thanks, as always.

Q: Chesswood has announced they will issue, 2,871,800 subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") at a price of $9.75 and yet the share price today is up some 11% and over $11.00. I would have thought this would have had a negative effect. Can you explain? Thanks John

Q: I've owned this stock in a LIRA account for a few years and it's done reasonably well but seems to have leveled out over the past year or so. Any thoughts on further growth or should I dump it into something like VUG, Vanguard Growth, or?

Q: Can I get 5i's updated view on Element Financial? Earnings were released on Wednesday and they seemed to match guidance and street expectations. I also noticed it has been doing quite well over the past few months compared to banks (although bank earnings see to be giving banks some catch up). How do you think EFN will do versus the rest of the financial sector?

Q: Good morning. I would appreciate your thoughts on bought deal announced today with National Bank selling 9 million shares at $12.60. The shares were selling at $14.00 2 days ago. It almost seems that there is an effort to keep the share price down and the stock is becoming frustrating to hold. With rising AUM and National Bank backstop should there not be shareholder value?
