Q: ALC. A recent article on sea captians indicated there are few captians to replace those that are about to retire. Would you know if ALC may be having a present or future problem with this issue. Is it just the captians or also the other key positions on these ships?

Q: Is Currency Exchange International (CXI on TSX) worth a full position in a diversified portfolio? I was considering this over Manulife (MFC), for a bit of added exposure in the financial sector, though understandably each is in a different sub-sector of Financials. Or would Manulife be the better investment? What are the inherent risks with CXI other than its size? 5 I philosophy also stresses the value of good management in carrying a company forward: are you at all familiar with this management team and its track record? Thanks, as always.

Q: CXI Currency Exchange International. Would like your thoughts on the quarterly release.

Please consider covering this company. It is growing at a significant pace, has a banking license on the horizon and seems to trade at a very reasonable valuation.

Q: PUR... Pure Technologies

Right now according to BNN, 87% of revenue for PUR comes from water and waste with only 7% coming from O&G.

Considering the hoops LNG has to go through to secure approvals for new pipe lines - and understandable so - it seems to me this 7% should be increasing dramatically over the coming years which should bode extremely well for PUR and their new technology designed to monitor and detect pipeline faults and failures.

With that in mind, this stock to me appears to be a no brainer.

Is there something I am not aware of that could change this? What competition does PUR have? Is there another technology out there that is doing the same job? Would you recommend a buy at this time for PUR or a wait and see?

Thanks for all you do

Gord

Q: Peter:

Caldwell Partners (TSX: CWL) seem to be getting some attention from investors with a little higher trading volumes and growing market cap. Would 5i consider covering it given no one else does and Company is performing really well and paying a dividend too?

Q: Please give me your medium term outlook on Cargojet (CJT-T)and in particular, the capital cost for the new infrastructure at the Hamilton, ON distribution centre that is proposed. I am somewhat concerned that the company has only a few clients and may not have the diversified client base that a FEDEX has.
