Q: hello 5i:
with the understanding that they are worlds apart, and knowing that I am down substantially on ECN, would you think a switch to CTC.A would be a prudent move? Looking at a long term chart (5 years, or 10 years), and reviewing its earnings expectations (seem to meet or beat on an annual basis), it appears that CTC.A, is, at worst, fairly valued, and at best, lightly undervalued. Factoring in the Helly Hansen acquisition seems to make it look more undervalued. Your comment please, and I am NOT adverse to continuing to hold ECN.
thanks

Q: My weighting in the financial sector is 12% and I am wondering if it is time to increase it to 15%. I already own BNS,RY and SLF. I was wondering if ECN and FCR would be good choices to add to the mix or if you have any better suggestions.

Q: Untangling the relationship between ECN and EFN is above my pay grade, but hopefully not above yours. Are there any lingering connections which would keep these entities tied together, where fundamental problems in EFN could leech into ECN? Or are they now completely and absolutely separate? Thanks again!

Q: Hello 5i
I own ECN Pref shares and continue to suffer I expect due to EFN business performance and the close link investors may create between EFN and ECN.

The question here is about the recent globe article and fan fair related to insider buying of CEO (at ECN). Normally I would be pleased to see the buying except for the bad taste created when the same thing was said about CXR (Concordia) CEO buying - He was buying with the banks money. As soon as the stock dipped, the bank took back their capital through a forced margin call and all of a sudden the skin in the game was gone.

Any way to determine whether the stock being purchased ($6M) by Mr Hudson is real or just a facade; zero risk for him as the bank holds him on a short margin call leash?

Q: Peter Lynch amassed a fortune investing in undervalued growth stocks. I currently own LNR & GSY. Can I get some other names that you would consider good GARP stocks?
Thanks in advance.
