Q: Hi 5i research team,
In your recent report update on BOS, you mentioned the need for a catalyst as their house is pretty much in order (balance sheet, operating systems, management). I am wondering what it could be? #1 Revenue growth: BOS only made few acquisitions in the past 20 years, so it would be a surprise; and in the current state of world growth (probably slightly decreasing at best), BOS would need to enter a new related line (from their current activities) of business: any ideas? #2 Dividend growth and share buybacks: what size of increase or program would be needed to represent a catalyst? When would the balance sheet be ready (size of debt?) for such moves? #3 Privatization of the company: insiders own 41%: looking at insiders could they be buyers or sellers? Do you see this possibility in the next 5 years? #4 Could BOS be on its way to become a value trap? Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Q: I am looking to add a growth-oriented stock to a pretty conservative bluechip portfolio, with investments in financials, energy/resources, telecommunications, drug/healthcare and transportation - mostly in Canada. I believe I could benefit from more growth-oriented stocks in other sectors and have recently acquired small positions in GC and TSGI. What growth-oriented stocks would you take right now, keeping in mind that I am a DIY newbee with only a modest ability to read statements and analyze risk
