Q: CWB up quite a bit today on the news of National's attempt to purchase. Up 70% but if I'm not mistaken there is still 40% on the table. { Please correct me if I am wrong about that 40% } Pundits on the Business channel have been commenting this morning and the consensus seems to be the government is unlikely to quash the deal ..... 40% is a nice arb play if the odds look good. Mind you if it doesn't go through there would likely be a nasty drop ...... What says 5i ? Do you like the arb play here on a risk reward basis ?

Q: As the NA price drops due to its offer to buy CWB is it a buy at this point or better to wait to settle the dust. Also, do you expect issuance of one billion new equity will offer at a lower price than current market price or it may dampen share price further?
Q: Would BMO be a good proxy for TD? Mid and longer term which do you see as more likely to do better? Please explain your reasoning.
Other banks or other high yield suggestions for proxies?
I have lots of BNS.
Thank you.

Q: Stock had a good week - was this mainly as a result of the drop in interest rates? Going forward will growth be organic and or are there potential acquisitions (ex Propel) which could be made? Alternatively is the company itself a target for takeover and if so which companies could be potetial buyers? Thanks
Q: Could I have 5i's considered views on the company, its current profitability as well as future prospects? Any comments on the founders and the Insiders holdings will be appreciated.

Q: Hello 5!, I am considering to sell holdings in RIT:CA and buy Royal Banks shares as they seem to have a better future for growth while paying decent dividends today. Your thought, on this matter, would be appreciated. Thank you in advance
Q: I understand that TD will face a fine of some large amount, and I feel they can overcome the fine. My concern relates to TD getting a fine plus curtailment of doing acquisitions in the US for a period of time say five years. Should not a curtailment of US acquisitions be the most worrisome for investors?

Q: Hi Team,
With weak growth shown from crm , and being that I am already tech heavy, would it be advisable to sell crm to add to propel and Eqb ? Both growing much faster with much cheaper valuations ; but in banking sector instead of tech . However in the alternative banking sector which seems to be much higher growth than the traditional banks currently .
Thanks ,
Shane
