Q: Hi 5i! This question is for an educational purposes, as I'm always trying to better my humble valuation skills. Unfortunately, I can't find the quote in the question to confirm my saying but here goes anyway: You have recently (I'm pretty sure!?!) qualified the shares of TSGI as being cheap. On what metrics do you base your evaluation. I see that a PE of 18ish for a growth stock like TSGI is on the cheap side. Are there any other metrics?

Many thanks!

PS.: I already own a full position in TSGI that I bought a couple of years ago. No intention to buy more or sell any time soon.

Q: Recently NFI has shown weakness well beyond the norm. Has there been any news that might indicate the apparent flurry of selling? I am aware that some folks look to transport stock movements as a precursor of a potential weakening economy (the old saw about financial markets being a leading economic indicator). Thanks for all the help that you and fellow members provide me with. Bill

Q: Hi, Stock price has dropped over $5 in past three days, since pricing was announced by the company, presently trading US$35 against the bought deal at US$38. I have a feeling that the precipitous drop is not just due general market pull back. Company also announced a $750 mln Bond offering on Monday. Underwriters/investors who bought 25 million shares are already under water, so who is selling and why ? Do you suggest any action in the near term ? I guess, many of 5i members already have partial or full position at higher prices by now. Thanks

Q: I believe in the inevitability of alternative energy, although not imminent, I think fossil fuels are a dying industry. Energy transmission will be needed regardless of the generating source so I am looking for companies that operate in this space. ie build/maintain transmission infrastructure or develop smart grid technologies. The big utilities have some exposure but I was looking for more of a pure play. Do you have any suggestions on specific companies. Thanks

Q: Mr. Hodson, today GUD and CSU concluded the day respectively at $8.02 and $1049.95. Do you consider these prices appropriate for the time being ? Is there any action you would recommend regarding either of these stocks, or is everything fine ?
As GUD reached $10 in the past, do you foresee the stock reaching that value again ?
Recently, you recommended awaiting a few weeks before buying more GUD shares; are you still of the same view in this regard ?
