Good Morning Peter
I have a large position in ALGOMA CENTRAL CORP CONV UNSEC SUBORD DEBS 03/31/18 6.00%. When these mature in 2018 am I guaranteed to get paid back in cash or is there any danger of being paid in shares at the conversion rate because if so and if the share price is away down in 2018 I would be better off selling the debentures now as they are trading at par.
Thank you.... Paul K

Q: Hi. Can you please give your opinion about this Company and proposed acquisition of Spectrum/ Blade Optics. Do you think it is OK to invest in this company for a medium risk investor with 3 years hold time.

Q: Hello,

hoping you can comment on the 4th quarter results. Also, I know there have been some red flags with management in the past (I read a seeking alpha article that painted a not so pretty picture a couple years ago) and I seem to recall you guys commenting so - any further comments to this?

p.s. great showing by Ryan on BNN - curious if you get to have fun and choose what you want to recommend independently or if as a team at 5i ya'll decide what stocks to talk about?

Q: Hello Peter & Team, this is about sector allocation. In a recent answer to Tim, you suggest 10 sectors with their resptective percentages. Would you consider REIT to be the 11th sector, or is it already inserted in the Financial sector? If this is part of the Financial sector which is at 20%, then what should be the weight of Reit in that sector? Thanks, Gervais
