Q: Hello Peter & Co,
I'm hanging on to FSV for a while longer until I decide what to do (keep FSV, keep CIG, keep both, sell both. A cursory comparison between the 2 divisions indicate that Colliers was more profitable in 2014 with EBITDA to Revenue ratio of 9.8% vs 7.5% for FSV; a hardly sufficient basis of comparison.
What intrigues me is your rational for shedding the old FSV a couple of months ago.
You're suggesting to hang on for a while longer; but how will one decide what to do next?
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: Hey Peter & Team,

To date I have done very well on EFN and yesterday as a prudent measure not ever wanting to be the pig that gets slaughtered took some profit off the table.

Today I noticed the recent financing via Element Financial Corp Sub Receipts (EFN/N) is up almost 9% from $17 - $18.50 on 2.02 million volume while EFN is down 1.22% to $18.57.

Can you help me better understand the relationship between these two issues and what EFN/N increasing from $17 - $18.50 means for us little people.

Thanks for all you do

Gord

Q: I have been a member for over 2 years and this is my first question, I follow the Q & A section quite closely, thanks for the information . A year or so ago someone asked about if you could identify 3 companies that you don't get asked about much. I held Telus and ended up buying Exco after my own research. Could you identify 3 companies tech or other as I seem to have some money after buying high and selling low on OTC.

Q: hi folks

further to an earlier email on element with respect to mgmt

I remember when newcourt and steve hudson had their heyday in financing in the 1990's and early 2000's

from my recollection there was a lot of 'creative accounting' (a term updated recently to "financial engineering")

question: in light of this 2.2BB issue today (which increases the company capital structure by almost 40%) what makes anyone believe that this mgmt is any more competent than when they near bankrupted newcourt?

one thing of interest being they didn't borrow the whole 2.2bb

comments?

thanks for your insight
