Q: I have purchased cum before on your recommendation but sold all my shares at higher prices. Is it time to buy some shares for growth for 2-3 yr. period. Also, who are the sellers in SGY and WCP to drive the price down? My idea of SGY with all this hedging is that it was a good price at $8, so it must be a bargain at $6.60?

It is bidding on contracts to supply body cameras for police - a timely device considering the problems in the US lately. It is very small mkt cap at the moment.

Q: Hello Folks at 5i,
I am selling my condo here in Ontario and almost ready to "hit the road" and not come back to Canada on a full-time basis but I do have a worry on how to invest the proceeds ($350,000). I do have $250,000 account of which 60% is invested in the model portfolio and about 40% in the income portfolio. What should I do with the rest and how soon should I be fully invested? I do have a high risk tolerance and a excellent pension to cover all living expenses and then some. Thanking you in advance for your excellent service ...

Q: Hi 5i,

Like others here, really like what you do, and have found your work more valuable than that of other groups I follow/subscribe to.

Over the years I have learned that the management of a company is one of the most important factors in making a successful investment. I would very much appreciate a one liner (or addition to the "Report Card" section of reports) which would speak to how effective/honest/reliable/capable the management team is.

You often address this in the question section, which is valuable for non-reported companies, but seeing it embedded in the reports would be great.

Thanks again,

Cam.

Q: Team,

E or MCR, which falling knife do you prefer standing behind? I own small positions in both as part of a basket of small caps, but they are both back under my 1% threshold where I either have to add to the position, or cut it loose. I'm thinking of selling one, and topping up on the other. thoughts?

As always, thank you!

Q: Hello 5i Team

Back on August 12 you mentioned AVO had too much cash on hand which was impacting per share results. You also commented an acquisition would go along way towards providing some positive news to turn around the emotional slide which began with the executive resignation in May.

Is Mr. Hernandez still sitting on a considerable amount of cash? Has his strategy for the company changed in the past quarter or do you think an acquisition is still on the horizon?

Thanks for all you do

Gord

Q: The following have shown little change in the current correction. Is this the type of correction wherein the sellers will get around to worrying about these stocks/sectors, or does it look principally oriented to the energy sectors. Thanks
