Q: Hello 5i team,
I appreciate your response to my question regarding "what to do in view of an impending recession".
Less equity and more fixed income would indeed make sense. I suppose that I could start with the holdings in the Income portfolio; but, of the balanced equity portfolio, which would you consider as "aggressive" and which would you consider as "more defensive".
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: I have a question about ECN Capital.
There seems to be something very wrong as the stock price continues to go down almost every day. Management should never have talked about closing on some deal only to then come forward to say that it would be best not to do a deal as this only caused expectations to be dashed. It seems to me analysts do not seem to have much confidence in management.

The chart also looks absolutely horrendous so I was wondering whether there was any point in holding on here or best just to cut losses and move on as it does not really look like this company has much of anything going for it based on performance to date?

Thanks for your thoughts.
Susan

Q: Celestica is now down 32% since I purchased it. Do you think the company will be able to turn things around over the next 12 months. I understand the premise of the company having cash in hand, but they have just been downgraded. How long do you think we will need to wait for it's recovery. Should I sell, hold, or double down on it's weakness?
Thanks Ben

Q: First of all, read about your site in Market Masters and love your website!

I am considering investing in BSM Technologies but recently read a bunch of reviews on glassdoor.ca that make me question my investment. The employees seem disgruntled and consider the technology buggy and outdated. After reading your report however, perhaps they are talking about the technology before Mobi? Also, i understand hardware in its infancy can have issues so thats not much of a concern. What do you make of all this?
