Q: Hi Team,
In a question yesterday comparing GSY to PRL you had stated that PRL is "slightly cheaper" than GSY. Is that forward earnings you are looking at? I ask because my brokerage shows GSY with a current P/E of 11.98. It shows PRL with a current P/E of 20.48 , which on that metric (if correct) currently values PRL over 70% higher that GSY. Looking for clarification. Thanks

Shane.

Q: Just read your special report on small caps specifically Go Easy where you cite a growth rate of 17% mainly organically . Could you explain how this growth is accomplished ? To my albeit simple mind the sub prime lending market is something I wouldn't expect to expand unless economic times became perilous as well ..... A brief explanation of how this growth is accomplished across the three sectors of its' business model would be appreciated ? .....
Also between GSY and PRL at current stock prices which do you favour today ? .......Thankyou for your always sound council .....

Q: Hi 5i
I've held EQB for quite a while now and I'm nicely ahead, in a registered account.
I wonder though if it's reaching its peak based on its fundamentals, or if it might still gain meaningfully if and when interest rates start to decline?
The dividend is relatively minor and if notable capital appreciation isn't reasonably in the cards, I don't know that it makes sense for me to hold on any longer.
Can you give me your opinion as to what the next year or two might hold for EQB, as and if rates decline.
Thanks 5i, much appreciated.
Peter

Q: The 3 BN, BLK and BRK.B are the largest financial holdings in my portfolio. I would like to consolidate 3 holdings into 2 only. Which 2 do you recommend? I have 20+ years horizon and have high risk tolerance. Priority is growth, no need for div for 20+ years.

Q: Hello 5i.
I am currently way overweight in all 6 Canadian banks and I would like to trim to 2 or at most 3. Capital gain is more important than income. How would you rank the banks for a 5 year time horizon? What would you suggest as a total portfolio weight for Canadian banks, not including other financials?
Many thanks for your great service.

Q: You discussed micro-lending by saying

"Micro lending is fine for those that want to provide some capital for a social impact. But we would be very cautious seeing it as an 'investment' altnerative."

I could not agree more and I have found a lot of satisfaction lending through KIVA at https://www.kiva.org/
