Q: Hi Peter, HLF appears to be facing headwinds of increasing costs and lower sales/price. Management did not sound very optimistic on the recent CC. Stock is already showing weakness and I am worried that it may move even lower. Do you see any near term catalysts or I should bail out? Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and team, I hold RFC and CFN both. SP of both have been hit hard after CFN's recent two quarter results, coupled with insiders selling. Rifco results are not out yet. I have a small loss ~10/15% in both. I am a bit concerned with higher loan losses in the industry and wish to lighten my positions. Which one, in your view has better chance of SP recovery? also, is it a good idea to switch some funds to ACQ? Thanks so much.

Q: Hi Folks! I'm pretty certain that The Expense Ratio on SCITI Trust
SIN.UN is 0.45%. If I'm not mistaken an earlier 5i post stated
that it was dramatically higher, no?

My apologies in advance if I'm missing something...?

Sincerely,

Dave (Nicholson)

Q: Hi 5i, What do you think about Capstone Infrastructure (CSE.TO)? Do you think the dividend is safe? Are there better infrastructure / utilities which provide a comparable yield but is safer? Thanks and keep up the great work.

Q: Just a follow-up to my query on CFN's 25% drop; now 30+%! I sold,(made a profit) but found they are having finance problems & their loan loss ratios do not appear to be accurately reflected in the latest financial statements. Regards

Q: Peter Hodgson spoke of a "spilt" on S today.
I take it to be a spin off of some sort.
Have you heard anything on this rumour?
Thanks,

Q: How much weight should we give to analyst Price Targets? For example, Pacific Rubiales (PRE) reported this week and beat consensus estimates; TD Securities reiterated a HOLD and $24.00 Price Target on the stock on a report they released today.
