Q: Some economists argue that as debt to GDP ratio rises, it reaches a certain point when further fiscal stimulus will have little effect. Debt can be measured as Government Debt or Total debt (Government, Corporate and Individual). David Rosenberg in his New Year musings about the way things might be going in 2017, (a rare freebie for cheapies like me who don't pay for his missives) uses nonfinancial debt. How is "nonfinancial debt" defined, pray? Happy New Year and many thanks for your help again. Henry
Q: Happy New Year to the 5i team! I was checking out Photon Control on my TD Waterhouse site, in particular the insider trading and am curious as to why the directors' holdings fell from about 13 million shares to 3 1/2 million last August/2016. Also, in the 10% holders group, the number of shares held went from 0 to 100 million then down to 10 million all in the month of November/16. Also the INK insider trading report shows net selling as around $1,600,000. First of all are these numbers accurate and secondly can you explain the large swings in insider ownership. Thanks.
Q: Looks to me like one trade bought around 330,000 shares today at 4.40. Kind of unusual. Any ideas on what, if anything, might be going on?

Q: I own stock in this company in my TFSA and since they pay there dividends in US dollars, how will the dividends be treated when it comes to Revenue Canada. Or are the dividends converted to Canadian dollars before I receive them?

Q: I have held this since about 13 dollars. It is now at 20 and am wondering what you think the risks are with continuing to hold (about 2 % of my portfolio)this stock. The dividend is very good and the company states that is still looking to take it private. Some believe the stock is worth around 24 dollars. Please give me your thoughts. Thanks
