Q: Hi Ryan and Peter,

I had been watching PHO for months. After their earnings call and the pull back and your words on earnings, I was encouraged and finally took a position at $1.80. I have averaged down during this pullback as I thought it was a bit "silly" as Nigel is just trying to temper expectations. They have no debt, nearly 40 cents per share is cash and a great gross margin. Am I correct in thinking the risk is the 3 companies that represent 80% of revenues and revenues dipping/not growing.

So a couple questions:
1. Am I misguided in my thought that it is very cheap right now and a couple more solid quarters would change sentiment?
2. Your past company report estimated value to be $1.93 a share. What do you believe the share price is now?
3. Who do you believe the key 3 customers are and do they have a chance to pick up more?
4. Do you know who their competitors are? I cant seem to find them.
5. At what point, would you "back up the truck"?

Thank you.

James

Q: I'm somewhat concerned that we'll see more COVID this fall and I wouldn't mind trimming my portfolio of positions less able to benefit (short term). Boyd Income Fund comes top of mind due to people driving (crashing) less and it is also one of my larger positions (4.5%) but also still up (50%). Can you provide me with a quick note on how they've been doing this year (business, not stock price) and how significantly their revenues have been impacted? What is their outlook like?

Honestly, they seem to me to have held up better than I might have expected...

Cam.

Q: Hi 5i,

Any reason that Bill Holland (Board of Directors) sold a total of 270,766 shares at an average price per share of approximately $31.56. Do you think it will have negative impact to the stock? In general, Investors monitor insider buying and selling since buying activity is often seen as a positive sign that executives believe the stock will rise in the future. Conversely, insider selling can be seen that executives believe the company and its stock price may underperform in the future. Do you see any possible of underperform reason, please kindly advise.
