Q: Can I get your thoughts on the finding that it is 13 times more expensive to mine certain metals, copper and gold in this study, from ore than through 'urban mining'. Are there public companies currently doing this in North America? Any that have plans to or are looking into it? Thanks.

Q: Hi could I please have your opinion on eCobalt Solutions as a speculative Cobalt company. I looked at the Thompson Reuters evaluation on TD waterhouse and they give it a "10" out of 10 rating. Also 2 analysts list it as a "strong buy". With the Cobalt price surging I'm looking for a way to benefit from the growth in demand, but with a company that has no ties to the Congo. Do you see potential in this company for a small hold? Technically it is right at the 200 day moving average.

Q: Good afternoon:
From an income investor's point of view, could you provide recommendations of your favorite 7 to 10 companies each of which have little to no debt?
As a second question, could you also provide your top 3 to 5 growth company names, again with little or no debt.
Thank you
Ian

Q: Hi, I was looking at buying HD but then started looking at Canadian Tire. According to Yahoo finance valuation looks cheaper and faster growth for Canadian Tire. Other than obvious size differences, would there be any other reason not to buy CTC.A over HD? thanks

Q: Hello, this is in regard of the Globe & Mail article by Ryan dated March 12, 2018. Does this new index change will impact the sector classification we get from TMX Money? For exemple does this mean that using TMX Money, companies such as OTEX, CSU, MSFT will no longer belong to the technology sector as of Sept. 28, 2018? Thanks, Gervais

Q: With the 2017 earnings report out and the stock price at $16.240, do you still have a wait and see approach to this company?

Does the quote from the latest press release, listed below, indicate that the worse is over for AGT?

We believe that the challenges of the past quarters will begin to ease as the effects of governmental interventions and market corrections subside and markets find their new balance as a new crop season begins, with India’s current harvest and the upcoming Turkish harvest in May 2018. While AGT cannot control the timing of a market recovery, we expect a gradual recovery, with respect to volumes and prices and with them margins and earnings, to continue over the coming periods through 2018 with North American harvest and into 2019

Q: Hi 5i,

I just started using your relatively new "Companies" feature (https://www.5iresearch.ca/company/nasdaq/AAPL). I can't believe how AWESOME it is and has become a go to resource for researching companies: key metrics, earnings estimates, analyst ratings, insiders trades, and news items! I thought it would be something that was exclusive to members, but it seems to be available for everyone?

Anyway, AWESOME information there!
