Q: Allan Greenspan made the comment of CNN today "Prepare for the worst and run for cover". Do you have any comments regarding this statement. I am getting a bit spooked out about the market and wonder if I should get out. Thanks, Bill

Q: Hi 5i
I was going to ask a specific question but this one pretty much was it "What general question has not been asked ..." so I'll alter mine a bit.
What questions are you asking internally between yourselves or put another way, generally, what questions would you ask 5i Research if you were one of the members ?
Thanks
Mike

Q: I have not fundamentally changed my portfolio this year, have 25 % in cash and lately have just been reading and waiting for opportunities that are surely to come in the next six to nine months. What else should I be doing?
Q: Hello, according to the company profile of TCL.A, the price-to-cash-flow ratio (P/CF) is 4.70. When one looks at the P/CF ratio of any company, above what ratio would you say that this is a good P/CF? In your opinion, what would be the top 5 utilities company right now? Thanks, Gervais
Q: This is just a share. There is a short TED talk that 5 I members and staff might enjoy. It is titled "Psychopaths in the C-suite" by Fred Kiel.
I wonder if 5-I could rate some management of 5-I covered companies that fit the: Empathy, Others First and I Screwed Up habits of virtuoso CEO's . I'm sure they are a rare breed. Perhaps a new valuation metric may come of this.

Q: Hello,
As I feel to be using more and more your company profiles, I am interested to know how quickly all the metrics are changed (share count, P/E, balance sheet etc...) after a new metric is published from the companies that I am looking at.
Thank you

Q: I just signed up for Money Saver then noticed the Mutual Fund/ETF offer. I had assumed that Money Saver would provide the mutual fund and etf information I was looking for including 'best of' tables. Can you explain the difference please.
Thanks Peter.
Thanks Peter.
Q: Hi I’ve read that markets are fairly valued based on forward PE of 15 or so. I’d like to look at this from a bigger picture, the total market cap to GDP ratio, the so-called Buffet Indicator. In the past 100 years, this is showing extreme over-evaluation currently 151% exceeded only by the 2001 Tech bubble, 161p. If rates continue to creep higher I can’t see how this will end very well. Then again, if the they peak and then fall, the over evaluation is at least buffered, Your thoughts ?
Q: Hello, my understanding is that because of our tax rules the tax loss season (November - December) is something Canadian only. Is that correct? Do the American investors also have a tax loss season? Thanks, Gervais
Q: If I don't tender and the offer goes through, will I get the $6.00/share deposited anyways at the same time as those you tendered? I've just been waiting for the offer to go through and get the deposit, should I just tender or is there no difference?
Q: In an earlier answer you quoted the NWC release that stated Q3 EPS at 78 cents and well above consensus of 53 cents. I use Thompson Reuters data and they adjust occasionally for unusual items. In this case the adjusted EPS for NWC is 49 cents. I presume this is due to the insurance claim revenue being removed from the earnings. Do you always take the reported EPS or do you adjust for extraordinary items such as this at times and if so when? Could you comment further on this to clarify as without using consistent data we are not much further ahead than using no data. Thanks.
Q: When I look at TMX and the last 25 trades, the buyers and the sellers go by a number, ex. TD is 007, National bank is 008, I can't understand the number of shares, 100, 10, 50, these are banks and financial companies buying and selling such a small amounts.
What am I missing on this thing??
Thank you, Helen D.

CT Real Estate Investment Trust (CRT.UN)
Q: The new equity issue by CAR.UN was priced almost $2 below recent trading range - and the market opened the next day with an immediate drop to match. CRT.UN did a similar move a month or so ago - with a corresponding immediate price drop. This appears to be a common industry practice - but that alone does not make it ethically right. I have been burned many times by this. Why are new equity issues not priced more in line with current trading range (e.g. to match closing price on the prior trading day)? Isn't it the duty of the regulator to block transactions that are priced to influence (i.e. manipulate) the market?
