Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I see many members try to ask multi company questions and treat 5i as a personal financial consultant.... I wish 5i stick to the original idea of "Asking Question" .. so that members can ask one company at a time for the benefit of all members.
Thank you.

Q: For those who don't read the forums, here is some interesting information on New York gambling legislation.

Do you think this will have an effect on the recent buyout offer price? Or is it too early in the process of passing the legislation? 9-0 vote appears promising! TIA

Q: EFN is starting to look very attractive. Why is it so beat up?
The management presentation references tangible leverage, which appears high but wondering if you could put it in context, I'm guessing as a financial this kind of leverage is more acceptable. They seem to be generating higher returns now but if thats just happening due to additional leverage its not really a value add. Do they have any oil and gas exposure? Chesapeake is referenced in the deck, not sure how that ties and how large that exposure would be.

Thanks

Q: I am wondering, when adding new money to my portfolios, WPK is down 5% from its 52wk high and ATD.b is down 6% whereas GIL is down 24% and MG is down 36%. These names are just examples of some possible additions. Assuming diversification is not an issue what do you do? Buy the stocks that have corrected the most or buy the ones that held their value through the correction? The price/book of MG is 1.6 and the other three are all over 3. Can you give me some guidance? Thank you.
