Q: Hello
Can you comment on earnings for both ATP and TA.

Cash flow seems to be improving and both are working on improving leverage levels.

I have a small position in both these companies that I intend on selling to buy more quality names. But I am not in a hurry to sell them since I am down 30% and 40% respectively and would like to let them run a bit if they show signs of improving.


Thank you !

Q: Your comments please on CAP REIT's operating results and your thoughts going forward. Am cautious on the impacts new foreign home ownership taxes will have on apartment valuations in BC and possibly Ontario. Apartment REIT's are coming off a bit. Do you see this continuing in light of the tax situation and a possible US rate hike this year.

Q: I am building a growth portfolio to mimic 5I -- and separate from my other holdings. I own BOS, CXR, DBO, KXS, PUR, SH and RRX at roughly 3% each.

Are all the holdings within the portfolio "buyable" at this time? i.e, do you have a preference in terms of 2 companies to add at this time, which might have more immediate "oomph". (For lack of a better word. I'm still caffeine-challenged at this time of day.)

Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Hi 5i,what do you think of SNC hold or sell, and WDO is not going
along with price of gold, is the management OK ? And BOS, substantial decline of the price today indicate investors are not happy with the company I almost feel like dumping 2000 shares we hold in our cash account. Thank you for your advice. Motoi

Q: I have a strict portfolio plan I have followed for 20 plus years into retirement. 30 holds devoted to income and 5 to 10 for growth. average holding is 3%.quarterly earning on a singular basis don't generally worry me. However AD=3.25% of portfolio/ cost base $27.00 held since 2013,BDT=3.00%/cost base is $12.10 held since 2013 have been holds for their dividends. BOS=2%/cost $15.25 was bought for capital gain hopes. All three are having negative earnings currently. Please offer your views as to the stability of them going forward and if I should reduce or exit any based on the poor results. Thanks

Q: Good morning everyone,

Something is not making sense in the market here. Disney buys 33% of Neulions competitor BAMtech for $1 billion.

$1 Billion / .33 = assumed market cap by Disney (liquidity discount most likely applies, but lets negate it) of $6 billion.

Neulion has a market cap of $220 million.

Neulion has, NBA, NFL, global soccer, UFC, tennis locked in, BAMtech has NHL, MLB, PGA. Therefore Neulion > BAMtech in my mind.

$3 billion > 220 million by 13.6x. Is there something I am missing in regards to this massive valuation difference? Technology? Does Disney see some second level of montetization that the market can't comprehend? A special deal perhaps? I picked up more to make a medium sized holding, but will sell if you guys could potential shave off the valuation gap.
