Q: Hi 5i Team,
I have been following CCL.B for a few months with the thought of purchasing a small position. Research shows it to be a good company but it has had a recent sell-off. Could you please give some insight regarding the recent sell-off and whether you think this is a good time to purchase for a 2 to 3 year hold.
Thanks.

Q: Greetings Team 5i,
With it looking like an increase in interest rates coming soon, and understanding that insurance companies appreciate higher interest rates, I would like to add to my holdings in that sector. I realize you like Sun Life SLF and I'm thinking of taking a position but I'm also interested in Fairfax Financial FFH. I would appreciate your opinion of FFH and the wisdom of taking a position in it at this time.
As always, thanks for your guidance.

Q: Hi Team,
I own about a half position in Carfinco and I am wondering if I should sell it on the news today or wait for the deal to run its course? There is talk that a special dividend is priced into the stock at its price this AM. of about $2.80. Any information about how these sort of situations typically play out would be appreciated.
Thanks, John

Q: I sold POT yesterday, made a decent profit and of course rec'd the dividends. I am wondering if I should deploy the capital to something you could suggest that has the safety with growth or should I wait until you offer your investment service. Do you expect that to be this month or a later time frame? Thanks again.

Q: Hello 5i team,
How do you explain the steady drop in share value despite a good quarterly report and a good order backlog that would suggest a good next quarter?
Greetings,
