Q: Hi 5i.

I've owned BCE (-6%) and T (+9%) for ~ 18 months -not including dividends. I'm patient, but tired of BCE losing money, plodding along. Comparing CMCSA (Comcast) (4.8), BCE (3.3), T (3.8), RCI.B (4.0) Morningstar Broker Analyst Recommendation ratings, there's a clear winner: CMCSA (USA) (up +377% over last 10 years). When I plot these 4 Financial stocks over 10-years, the others are hardly visible on the graph.

Why not move my $35K (RRSP) from BCE to CMCSA, leaving T? Risk?

Thank you for sage advice. Paul.

Q: I currently have a full position in BNS & 1/3 in LB, can you recommend some foreign banks that I could buy on the NYSE that you feel are more undervalued than their North American counterparts and may offer good equity growth. Risk is not a huge concern but if you could outline that as well for any recommendations that would be great and if you feel taking a position would be ok. I understand this isn't 5i's focus but any suggestions would be appreciated.

Q: Hello Peter,
It is a bit sad that shareholders of Canadian energy companies are not able to take advantage of the increase in oil prices as the stocks have hardly moved. I am assuming it is due to the restrictions on pipeline capacity. However, why are Enbridge and Transcanada down? I understand they are impacted by oil prices, but I am surprised at the reaction to their stock prices (downward). Comments please. Thanks very much.

Q: I have a question about ECN Capital.
There seems to be something very wrong as the stock price continues to go down almost every day. Management should never have talked about closing on some deal only to then come forward to say that it would be best not to do a deal as this only caused expectations to be dashed. It seems to me analysts do not seem to have much confidence in management.

The chart also looks absolutely horrendous so I was wondering whether there was any point in holding on here or best just to cut losses and move on as it does not really look like this company has much of anything going for it based on performance to date?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Q: Celestica is now down 32% since I purchased it. Do you think the company will be able to turn things around over the next 12 months. I understand the premise of the company having cash in hand, but they have just been downgraded. How long do you think we will need to wait for it's recovery. Should I sell, hold, or double down on it's weakness?
Thanks Ben
