Q: Hi, eSP came out with amazing earnings but it fell thirty seven percent this morning. What am I missing here? The numbers looked fantastic. Should I just sell and take the loss?

Q: Re your comment to Murray on tax loss selling bargains. Seems like PLI made a significant move following FDA approval of one of its research streams yesterday. IT and AVO have made significant moves off their respective lows recently on no news that I see. Could this be the end of their tax loss selling season, isn't it a bit early? When would you normally look for these 'bargains'? Is this a reasonable strategy to pursue?
Thanks again Peter

Q: Your comments on their 3rd quarter results please. Looks like they continue to forge ahead. I have most of the balanced portfolio with full positions, and half of the growth at 3% positions or less for a total of 60% per your suggestion. Re your philosophy of adding to a winning position, and considering Kinaxis performance to date would you bring it up to a full position.
Thanks Peter

Q: Not really a question, more a reminisce and comment on the shorts.I recall years ago a short attack on Fairfax Financial, I think it came shortly after they listed in the U.S. The stock was driven down into the $70 dollar range. The innuendo was that Fairfax management was using off-shore companies in a less than kosher way. I just looked at my FFH this morning and it is at $650, high earlier this year $739.
Best defense against shorts (the mudslinging variety) is to know the company and have faith in your investment analysis and the management (and of course one particularly un-conflicted investment web site).
Many thanks to the 5i staff.

Q: Hello 5i, Can I please get your views on this shipping company. I came across this company when researching oil shipping companies and then noticed Zaks research had a few upgrades, then the ceo was on BNN today. Their fleet of ships is increasing, their eps seems to be growing as is their dividend. I cannot decipher their book value or their debt levels. thanks
