Q: Thanks to your stellar advice, I now have three stocks over 5%: WSP (up 156% in a non-registered account), GSY (up 105% in a non-registered account) and LSPD (up 325% in a TFSA) . Based on past guidance to 'let winners run', at what point would you suggest I start rebalancing? Call me a very happy 5i client!

Q: Hi team,

Two questions in one. Currently own DOL and MG for consumer cyc stocks. Although both have headwinds in the next year or so, I am more frustrated with DOL. Can you please suggest a large, medium and small cap which 5i really likes in that space to replace DOL.


Second, I hold XAW in my rsp, they also offer XAW.U.ca. Would it make sense to sell XAW and buy the .U version. Adding another layer of diversification in currency?

Thank you
Rino

Q: In Dan's comment on Aug.13/21 he quotes some earnings and growth numbers that show the remaining part of ECN have both value and some pretty good growth numbers { Triad 72.5% and KG 30.6% }.... First could you confirm Dan's numbers ? And then take a stab at an estimated share price based on the remaining company and what you think of management, valuation, future growth, and whatever else you deem prudent in making such an evaluation ?

And second I realize 5I doesn't like giving weighting advice so I'll explain my philosophy on it. With a company like ECN a mid cap about to become a small cap I would normally be around 1.5% .... However with the downside limited to $2.50 a share and a belief that the remaining company doesn't face that much of a downside I am willing to go 2.5% to 3% ..... So that is what I did .... But after purchase I thought " Wait a minute. After my return in cash I took less than a 1% position . " How does 5I recommend I approach the situation with my goals in mind ?

Q: Yet another Q on ECN. Sorry. Was listening again to Hudson's interview on BNN on Aug. 11. In it Steve mentioned that he expects cash flow to grow to 120mil. a year in (relatively) short order. I was just wondering how that would look on a company that will trade (let us say) for $3.00 a share? I am imagining that there are few PF managers who could own ECN as it grew but soon won't be able to because of size and when I can hope for them to return?

TIA

Q: With the value of the spin-outs and splits from this stock considered over the last ten years is it possible to rate the total or annualized return of having owned this name during that time, which I've done, but also traded around?
