Q: Hi guys, could you please give the recent short positions on EIF?
The company as you spoke to, flagged their Q3 earnings(to be released after close Thursday). Is the reason for this notice to provide transparency and therefore I still confidence?
The share price has run up considerably since their share issue, buy on rumours sell on news?
Cheers, have a good un.

Q: With the recent run up in EIF's share price, I've made a solid profit.
I'm now considering selling either half or all of my EIF shares and purchasing partial positions in both MX and NTR. I feel the latter two companies currently represent good value and could be considered "safer" than EIF. I have a 3-5 year time horizon.
Kindly provide your opinion

Q: Hi Team , a couple of questions on EIC. Could you please give the latest short positions?
The company recently held an investor day in Garland Texas, to showcase their new window plant. Some sell side investors have reset their target price @ 55 bucks with consensus @ 46 dollars. That's a 15% upside. Do you think this will happen? Not sure if any time frame has been mentioned. Thanks Guys!

Q: In reference to my last question you made a couple of suggestions. I parted ways with CHR and NFI. You also suggested that I lacked diversification in some areas. I have accumulated cash since my last question to be deployed at an appropriate time. I have listed again the stocks in which I am currently invested in. Percentage allocation in each was listed in my last question. I have wonder if you maintain an investment profile of your clients. Doing so would enable you to provide more appropriate advice and/or suggestions. It would negate the need for clients to keep repeating investment objectives. Thanks

Q: I am trying to get a handle on how defensive EIF might be given weakening economic growth and weakening oil prices, which presumably means lower fuel costs for their airline services, some of which appear to be independent of economic circumstances. However that independence is not clear nor is their reliance on local or other economic prospects. Can you clarify any of this please. Thank you.

Q: Further to my prior question about allocating stocks to multiple sectors, how would you assign the following? I know this is 'not a science', but I think it will give me a better idea of my sector distribution.

NFI Cons Disc:Industrial
MG Cons Disc:Industrial
LNR Cons Disc:Industrial
TFII Cons Disc:Industrial
EIF Industrial:Financial
AQN Utilities:Energy
EMA Utilities:Energy

T Telecom:Healthcare
PSK Mining:Financial

Q: Enb in my portfolio has a book value of $42.16
And a yield of 7%. It now represents 10% of my portfolio. This my largest position in a portfolio of $630000. I generally buy for dividend and growth. Maybe I should reduce my position in ENB and take a 5% position in another dividend paying stock with growth potential. eg. CM or other opportunities. Any suggestions.
