Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I believe part of Lorraine’s Aug 24 question was about the NEO exchange itself, and whether it is investible as a company in its own right (apart from the question about buying MSFT on NEO)
NEO was acquired by CBOE Global Markets recently. CBOE does trade publicly but on the BATS exchange. Hope it is Ok to mention this.
I would love for 5i to do a review of the various N.A. exchanges sometime and rank them as investments.
I owned Archipelgo back in the day, and have held X for a long time. Exchanges seem to be good long term investments. Which U.S. exchange would 5i favour at this point, if it were to choose only one?

Q: I have a stake in one of these companies. Is it prudent to ad at this time and to what one and why. Also, I am starting to think that market timing is everything. You must time your investments and get out at times and maybe get back in at certain times. I think that not just buy and hold until you get Killed any more. I would appreciate tour thoughts and opinions. Thanks James

Q: Which of these is the better buy at current levels? Cash flows seem wildly different between the two, can you help me understand the difference? I like the MFC buybacks and higher dividend. Will increasing interest rates benefit both of these companies equally? How long do you expect it to take for higher rates to filter through to the bottom line? Please deduct as many credits as necessary. Thank you.

Q: Mr. Market didn't like ECN during their last spin off and I ended up getting the rest of the company for $2.50 a share { after the special dividend } .... Mr. Market doesn't seem to care for this spin off either ..... I tend to have more faith in ECN management than I do in Mr. Market and am looking at increasing my position toward the larger end of my small cap comfort level ..... What is 5I's opinion on Mr. Market versus ECN management ?

Q: Good morning,
Just saw in my news feed that RY missed expectations. Means another blood bath for the banks? Should one wait before backing up the truck and loading up? How long should one wait for the dust to settle? I know RY,TD &BNS are your favorite picks.

If you can add a few sentences in the US banking sector,not would be appreciated.
Many thanks.
Mano.
