Q: What is propelling Norsat International these days. It's up about 35% in the last month and up considerably in the last few days. Could it be considered a long term hold based on fundamentals or is this just a blip for an otherwise slow and quiet small Canadian company?

Q: When Yellen finally pulls the trigger to increase short term interest rates, do you think there may be a short term sympathy sell off of interest sensitive securities in Canada. I'm thinking utilities, telco's and reits may experience a correction in Canada. Do you think this will in fact happen and if so what sectors do you think will be most affected. Other than the lifeco's and banks any other defensive sectors you can suggest? Thanks Peter and team.
Q: Hello to all of you at 5i,
It would seem that the US Fed will very likely raise its overnight rate this summer and there is a strong consensus among pundits that REITs experience quick declines when interest rates rise. How do you feel about Chartwell's vulnerability to that scenario? Is it as interest-rate sensitive as the other, more common types of REITs?

Q: I was saddened to hear about the tragic loss of CEO of Spectra7. Where does this leave the company, since it is a small company? Do you feel they can move forward, or more likely to try sell the company now? I imagine it will take a long time to regain their footing? Or was there a lot of operational involvement from others in the company that could move it forward?

Q: Morning,
CXR having a bit of an off day today. I wonder if you think the recent strength has been based on business fundamentals or speculation of a deal?
Assuming that there is no deal to be found, I think you might still find it a worthy hold as it was recently a 5i top pick on BNN. Is that still the case? What would be the argument in favour of buying more?
If a deal were to occur, within what time frame might it be reasonable to expect?

Q: Good Morning: My question is about the Horizons ETF listed as TXF. (It did not show up in the drop down menu.) The full name is First Asset Tech Giants Covered Call or something like that. I know it is Cdn. hedged which I am fine with and it uses a covered call strategy to optimize returns. Do you have an opinion on this ETF in regard to management fees (they do not seem excessive to me for an actively managed fund), performance, sector and weighting within a portfolio. I don't own a lot of big tech names directly (small holdings in Alphabet, Corning, Intel, Qualcomm and Apple,all of which are in this fund) and wanted some additional exposure in this sector. I already have a small position in this ETF (less than 1%) and would like to double it. Thanks for your input. don
Q: Hi,
There's something I just don't get.
If banks make their money by borrowing short term money (e.g. at .25%) and lending at long term rates (e.g. at 1.75%), then if the short term rates are raised (as is so often spoken about when discussing the FED), and long term rates cannot be controlled by the FED, then why do I constantly hear analysts say that when the FED raises rates it's going to be good for the banks? esp. since I believe such a move would curtail inflation and inflation is not a big threat anyway and as I understand it, long term rates mainly go up in conjunction with the expectation of inflation?
