Q: Hi 5i team, as someone not versed in the niceties of accounting, I have difficulty understanding both sides of the argument in the article in today's Globe's ROB on Just Energy's EBITA statements. Is this something like life-insurance companies where it is difficult to account for things happening going into the future? Please do enlighten. Thanks Henry

Q: AM eanings for last year were significantly above the previous year, which should suggest another dividend increase or special dividend.Insider selling seems to reduce the market for this stock.Have you met with or talked to the management?How long can this insider selling last?Do you still think the stock is worth about $4.00. One service values the stock at $5.12.

Q: This is really a comment not a question. In early January I asked 5i for some advice on how to get into the market as an older, conservative investor unwilling to risk too much for fear of capital losses. The advice was to enter in carefully and purchasing a diversified portfolio - basically a balance of the B+ or better rated stocks and four large caps for even greater balance (26 stocks in total). Since then ATP has crashed by roughly 50% (highly unusual) but the good news is EQI and FSZ are up ~20%, BAD and BYD are up ~15%, ESL and KBL are up ~10%, the rest are either up or down but nothing drastic. All this to say my portfolio is still up over 2% in 9 weeks (~12% annualized) even though ATP crashed. The diversification protected me. No one's going to get it all right all the time. That's why the balance is needed. Cheers.
