Q: Hi, We own RY/CM/GS- 12% , IFC - 2.75% and PRL -1% among Financials. In addition, we bought EQB - 1% position at $85, based on strong analyst commentary, a month ago. We need some cash to raise and were wondering if it is necessary to own EQB or with about 15% weight through above holdings, we can let the EQB go.

Thank You

Q: Is there any particular reason why banks (eg. BNS, TD, RY, etc) won't enter the same "non-traditional lending" market as GSY or PRL? Seems like regular banks have all the infrastructure for it and it sounds like there is money to be made. Do you think this would ever be a possibility in the future?

Q: Hi, How is the Recent Earnings History of the company ? Does it usually beat estimates? Stock price has shot up, over past 6 months. Is this because of Co. producing stellar results and projecting high growth in the sub-prime sector, or the Co. received recognition/got discovered by retail investors/portfolio Managers, after flying under the radar for so long. Besides 48% Insider Ownership, are there any institutional holders ?

What are street estimates and your expectations, when Co reports next week ?

We have taken a 1% starter position and keenly watching, how Co/Stock performs, next week.

Thank You

Q: When 5i wrote the report on PRL the share price was $15.65 ..... Today it is $23.60 . Which is a considerable rise since the report was written ...... Could 5i plug in the current share price into the section titled " Valuation " and calculate and reassess the same statements using the current share price ? ....... This will help me make a decision regarding a purchase at the current share price .... Thanks as always for your valuable analysis .....

Q: Hi Team,
In a question yesterday comparing GSY to PRL you had stated that PRL is "slightly cheaper" than GSY. Is that forward earnings you are looking at? I ask because my brokerage shows GSY with a current P/E of 11.98. It shows PRL with a current P/E of 20.48 , which on that metric (if correct) currently values PRL over 70% higher that GSY. Looking for clarification. Thanks

Shane.
