Q: It also appears the founders have privately sold their shares in CXV too. This likely in part explains the sell off for both companies. Any insight here is greatly appreciated.

Q: Did they stop trading on this or what news is out there?Thanks
Q: Peter & Team, I can't find any information on Dalsin and Greene selling their shares, as suggested in the previous question. There is a July 13th company press release pre-announcing very impressive results, a 14.5 million share buy back (5% of issued shares) and executive leadership changes; nothing about the founders cashing in (although they are taking on non-executive board roles). Can you please clarify. Thank you.
Q: Good morning,
I have been considering adding to a holding in Exco and wonder if the dip yesterday was the result of something worrisome or just profit taking and a possible buying opportunity. Any insight?

Q: Hi there,
GIB.A seems to be a favorite among analysts on BNN with numerous "Top Pick" designations in the past month. ESL looks pretty nice on it's chart but is less talked about. Would you recommend one over the other for someone needing exposure to this sector? If you could answer which is your preferred and why it would be a big help.

Q: What 3 sectors would you avoid in an increasing interest rate environment? Which 3 sectors would perform best in an increasing interest rate environment?
Q: Can I get your thoughts on yieldcos, Pattern in particular? It seems to be an unsustainable business model to me. They get capital which will accept low returns so long as they keep growing the distribution but they have to keep paying higher prices to keep the rate of growth going. Eventually the growth rate has to run out of steam and then their cost of capital would rise and there would be a world of hurt. Am I missing anything?
Q: Hi 5i team,
I've read back to the previous questions about the CSU rights and am still confused. Here are some more questions:
- when does the interest start accumulating?
- why do I get the privilege of using 10.596 rights to pay $115 for a debenture worth $100 (obviously I'm missing something)
- will the debentures be less attractive if I don't hold them until maturity?
- do the rights transfer with the stock? (ex., if I sell my CSU today, do I lose the rights? if I purchase more CSU today, do I get more rights?)
- how safe is the yield and/or principal?
I can't be the only Confused Canuck on this one!
As always, thanks for all your help.

Q: For several years I have held a small position (approx 1.5% of my portfolio) in Central Fund. I have held this out of an idea that I should have something of intrinsic value in my portfolio. I am still up on CEF by around 70%.
Given recent events in Greece and China I would have expected Gold, and precious metals in general, to have rallied a bit. They didn't seem to move very much if at all.
I don't believe inflation will be a concern for a few years.
Is it worth keeping my position in CEF ? I still will have some exposure to Gold through Goldcorp (which has the benefit of a dividend).

Q: What is your Outlook for this company, the trading range has been huge so far this year , thank you, Jean
Q: I've been watching this slide down over the past couple of months then some big volume to the downside. I haven't seen any news releases. I own a fair bit around $12.75. Can you give me your thoughts....buy more or bail? I'm using it as straight US income.
Thanks and you guys are doing a great job!

Q: Can you provide an update on EFH? Do you think it is a buy at his time?
Q: This convertible debenture's yield to maturity is over 34%. I realize that this is risky company to invest in, but do you think the reward may offset the risk considering the debentures will mature in 17 months on December 31, 2016?
Q: I have had significant realized capital gains this year in my non-registered portfolio. To help offset the gains I would like to sell and rebuy in 30 days shares that I have a significant unrealized capital loss. SDY is one of these companies. I know it is difficult to predict but would I be better selling now or waiting to the end of the year?
Q: If the Canadian loonie were to maintain it's low level or go even lower in the future should Ms.Yellen decide to raise rates. Could you give a short list of Canadian companies that will benefit from a lower Canadian dollar that make a significant part of their earnings in US dollars ? MCB comes to mind as it does 49% of it's business in the US ?
Thanks Garth
Thanks Garth
Q: Hello,
in order to diversify my investment I would like to buy some Alibaba stock... After the recent jumps at Chinese market it went down significantly and I trust it may be a good time. At the same time I know that YHOO is going to spin off it's part in Alibaba. And here is the question (or even two questions):
1)what do you think about BABA perspective for the next 12 months?
2) how this YHOO spin of their Alibaba shares will affect both parties: YHOO and BABA?
Thank you for sharing your opinion!

Q: We currently hold TD, BNS and BMO. Is there any advantage to holding ZWB instead of individual Canadian banks in the current market environment? Would the covered-call overlay produce additional returns over holding the individual banks?
Q: Canadian wholesale sales fell over 50 billion dollars in May according to statistic Canada. Since all the analyst's were expecting it to hold steady I would think this is the cause for the poor market conditions today?
