Q: would you recomend sitting on some cash at the present time?
At the turn of the year most experts seemed positive on both the Canadian and U.S. markets. Now there is a significant number of the same people calling for a general, large, pullback. Self fulfilling prophecy, perhaps?

Q: http://www.mining.com/web/five-ways-to-play-the-end-of-the-natural-gas-renaissance-bill-powers/

Here's an interesting report on natural gas supply and demand with some hot tips. Any thoughts. Seems like a well thought out analysis. I don't have the background to analyze the information but the person who sent me the article does and seems to think it's valid.

Q: Enablence (ENA.V) restructured last fall; I expected tax-loss sales to follow, but shares still haven't found a floor - at a time when many semiconductor enterprises (well, excluding JDSU) are booming. But Enablence seems adequately funded, and continues to produce new components; ideas?

Q: Hi Team: A general question on securitization: why do finance companies not just keep the receivables and collect the interest themselves? I suppose there is an advantage to selling off the assets and redeploying the capital again? Does this reduce their risk profile and make it easier to borrow? thanks

Q: Your comments re RMP have changed slightly from September to January 21st. What have you learned since September? I'm looking for an entry in O & G (mostly O) to take advantage of the season. Is RMP a worthwhile consideration or are there others? RMP's chart has broken above an intermediate downtrend line today.

Q: Hi 5I Team In trying to make a decision on Essential Energy (ESN) I was trawling 5I for some insight. On Nov 8, in a response to Hal, it was noted that ESN was “... a very cheap stock and revenue still increased despite sector weakness.” On Nov 26, in response to Ken, it was noted that “... shares are not exactly cheap but we like the company.” I’m confused as to how to read this -- is it still a hold? ... and is the company cheap, fairly valued or expensive? Thanks!
