Q: In a TD report on XBC q3 the following comment is made, "Notably, our EBITDA estimate did not include the $5.3 million in severance incurred during the quarter as it was not contemplated in our forecast."

$5.3 million in severence for a company the size of XBC seems high to me. This occurred following the new COO hire.

Wondering if you could shed some light on this. Was there a cleaning of the house following the financial troubles announced earlier this year?

Q: I have been holding EGLX for quite some time. I view it as a long term hold while it establishes itself in the marketplace. I am concerned about the expenses though, in particular Share Based Compensation. To me, for a growing company this is too high relative to its Gross Profit. What is your opinion on this?
Secondly it has a lot of volatility which makes me think it is being day traded. Any thoughts on this?
Thank you.

Q: Can you comment on the tax considerations of the ECN special dividend in a non-registered account? I am up almost $2 currently but will receive a $7.50 dividend. From a tax perspective I feel I am better to sell now and pay the capital gains on the $2 instead of taxes on the $7.50 dividend . I can always buy it back later. Assume I am in a medium to high marginal tax bracket.
Thanks
