Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: GIB.A, I know you like this company highly. My research shows: huge debt.,very low ROE,121% > MRQ in revenue but -71% in EPS & no dividend. It went down a bit on the Obomacare problem-I hoping a bigger collapse but his starting to rebound. What am I missing in my analysis-oh trading at a huge premium to EPS-in other words very expensive. Make me feel better about this one so I can pull the trigger.

Q: Good morning. After reading through EIF's earnings report I am considering averaging down because the poor results appear to reflect expenses involved in Westower's rapid growth, and management has encountered such situations in the past with early return to profitability. I would appreciate your insight. Thanks.

Q: This is a comment not a question about Bryon's comment.

Personally I find the question and answer portion of the service to be of huge value. Although I only post a small number of questions I do find that I benefit by reading the questions and answers posed by others. Although it may be a small number of people asking questions I think they are still adding value and I appreciate it very much. It has brought companies to my attention which I otherwise would not have discovered.

I raise this point merely to highlight that there is value beyond just getting answers to ones own questions, just something to consider when thinking about the idea of limiting the number of questions a user can pose.

Thanks for the great service, keep up the good work.

Q: Good morning 5i,
I transferred our portfolios from an advisor about three months ago. One particular RRSP portfolio was transferred “in kind”. Two positions in that portfolio, CUS and CHR-B, are down 26% and 20%, respectively. I have held them for approximately 2 years. My question is, should I sell them and get into something else, or hold on? I find it very hard to look at these large losses.
Your service has been invaluable to me. Thank you so much.

Q: I am looking to increase my holdings in financials. My only holding is Gluskin Sheff bought this year. I have looked at Fiera and Element and Genworth MIC. I am leaning towards Fiera, but I would appreciate your thoughts on the similarities or lack thereof.
I also find the description of "financial services" rather vague. It would be informative to have a little more definition of what they are doing. Our local loan shark says he is in financial services. Your thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi Team 5i I'm looking to expand my U.S. holdings and considering buying AFLAC (AFL) AND Walmart (WMT). Do you think current prices provide good entry points and what do you think of their future prospects?

Also, I hold Stella Jones (SJ) and did so through the recent 4 for 1 split. What do you think of its future prospects?

As always, thanks for the unbiased support.

Q: Hi,
Just wondering about FTN - Financial 15 Split Corp. Is this too good to be true? It has a very high yield and holds a basket of some very solid names. How would you rank it in your scoring?

Q: Good Morning Peter and Team

I would like to get a detailed answer from the team regarding Zen or Zenyatta Ventures. Specifically they have had great drilling results throughout the summer and have just gotton a sizeable NRC grant.

Although the 43-101 hasnt been published there is enough data with the drill results coupled with industry information to at least start basing a NAV.

1) Will you be covering this stock in the future after the 43-101?

2) Do you have any specific concerns for this stock?

3) What would you deem a likely buyout scenario to be?

Much appreciated in advance and always look forward to hearing your perspective.

Phil
