Q: Hi 5i,

Despite the nice QoQ growth at DOL, the debt is also rising drastically. Is this a concern to you? From what I can tell they are essentially issuing debt to buy back stock - at very elevated prices. This can't go on forever? I have a very healthy gain on the DOL shares that I have left and am considering selling all.

Mike

Q: Hello team 5i !
How important is the relative sector allocation in your different portfolio ?
For example: Technology is 21% in the balanced portfolio vs 7 % in the income.
Financial 13 % in the balanced vs 19 % in the income portfolio.
Do you expect to change eventually those sector representation ? If yes why ?
I am right in assuming that this sector allocation could a determinant factor in performance and volatility relative to Canadian ETF (always high on financial and energy) ?
Keep on the good work ! You're much appreciated !

Q: I bought this stock earlier this week en route to emulate your Growth portfolio in my TFSA. I currently hold a 1.6% position. The stock dropped 7% in 2 days,is that the normal volatility for this stock or there is something to be concerned about? Does this drop become an opportunity to take a full position (~5%) as per you portfolio allocation. Thanks for you insight

Q: HI Peter and 5i Team, I watched a segment on cbc news last night about Electrovaya and it all sounded like great technology, great timing for the energy storage market and Clean tech. What's the 5i perspective on EFL'S Business model and are they poised to start making a profit ? Do they have a mangement team that knows how to grow a company ? Thanks, Steve.

Q: I saw a bit of a clip on the CBC National news last night about frii, and it wasn't very good. from what I recall they were saying frii was in non compliance of regulations in Ontario requiring them to show the number of calories in each meal. frii refused to speak with CBC about the story. CBC did some research and found that most frii meals had more calories than a lot of the fast food chains do. I was taken aback a bit when I saw the story, this can't be good for the stock. what is your take on this,and did you see or here about the story?

Q: Good morning! I have some Hydro One that I purchased when it first went public. It's done okay-ish with the dividend but seems to be in a rut now and with another share offering announced, it seems like it won't be going anywhere anytime soon. I was thinking of switching it with Algonquin and wondered what you might think of that strategy? Thank you for all you do.
