Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I have been looking at this company for some time. It seems awfully cheap, and is growing nicely. Mr. Glassman appears to have lots of expertise in the area. I realize there are far to many stocks for 5i to research, but my question is if this is a stock that you would ever consider covering, or are there some fundamental underlying issues that would exclude it from your consideration (similar to your reluctance to recommend resource stocks?) Are there any major issues that give you pause? What do you see as the main risks with this company?

As always, thank you for your help.

Q: How is IT impacted by AYA's New Jersey news? Agreed that the real prize for AYA is the rest of the USA and they are lobbying California. I like IT because they are in regulated markets in Europe (UK, Sweden, Spain). Does IT plan to expand into the USA too? Could you please briefly compare IT and AYA from a business and investment perspective. Do you think that AYA may buy IT once it brings debt down? Based on forward P/E IT looks very interesting and insiders have been buying in the $11 range.

Thx

Q: I have a position in Tucows. I like the business and as I listened to the last conference call, it seemed like future growth plans were solid. I am down a lot on my position but it is almost impossible to sell given very low volumes.

I am thinking about adding to my position to reduce my cost base. What are your thoughts on the future of the Company?

Q: reading the questions and answers to this massive downturn-
I think by far the best response comes from jerry who says I don't follow 5i's long term advice or their portfolios, I get my value from specific recommendations, answers to questions, and the basic integrity of 5i.
the key part of jerrys quote is long term advice--peter has been very clear that 5 years is his time frame and yet during this downturn especially with cxr everyone is in a panic.
as for me my time frame is far far shorter than 5 years-- and I think a stock like knight and currency exchange-- I own lots of both we will be rewarded long before 5 years is up and if I am not I always have the option to sell.but every investors temperament is different and if this downturn is too painful then sell and wait it out. dave
