Investment Q&A

Q: Trying to wrap my mind around Well. It’s current financial status and future potential. Are you able to outline balance sheet, cash flow, profitability, growth and upside potential etc. Isn’t this a good sector to be in during these times? It looks significantly discounted from where it was. What are the risks. Thx.

Q: Hi team
Small cap holding as a turnaround play and management has indeed turned them around. Profitable again on much lower sales however. What are your thoughts on this small Quebec company?

Q: A short while back there was a 5i comment that you thought there was a good chance that small cap stocks would rally early in the new year. Wondered why you thought that? At the moment there appears to be a great deal of fear and pessimism in the markets . Many good companies are getting pounded. And technical charts are pointing downward. So , within this environment where it is hard to resist not selling everything and moving to the sidelines, what reason is there for small caps to rebound?

Q: Hi 5i,
Well, FRII sure proves that patience is a virtue, if holding on to a stock that lost 90% of its value almost immediately after it was purchased long enough (years, in fact) for it to recover 25% of the value that it lost can be considered virtuous!
Seriously though, I'm very glad to see that FRII is finally being bought as I've hoped it would be for years now (no matter that its being bought very cheap compared to what it was once thought to be worth) and I'm going to get at least some of my long-departed money back. My question is whether there is any possibility that the $2.30 / share it's apparently going for might possibly rise, or is that likely all there is? I ask because I don't really know how these things work and wonder if the public facing statements about the sale might cause another suitor to step forward with a higher offer. Or is there any likelihood that a shareholder with enough clout to object might say no to the money currently on the table and compel a different outcome?
Thanks for your thoughts 5i,
Peter

Q: DND is up 16% currently. After its repurchase of shares do you anticipate the share price will drop back to 11.50 or will it sustain its gain.

Not trying to ask you to be a fortune teller but just share your experience with what has happened to other company share prices in this instance.


want to know if I should take advantage of this jump in price.

Q: Can you confirm my valuation is correct? DND is on track to generate +$150M in free cash flow this year and if I had the money I could buy the whole company for $797 M? The big concern is the billion $ is debt? Thanks

Q: Management continues to rationalize operations and cut costs. A potentially painful share consolidation of 1 for 14 so the company can retain its NASDAQ listing. Is there any value here with the most recent collapse, in a very long series of collapses, of the stock price? Or is this just a bad trip ...

Q: Good morning team, thoughts on the odds of a rival bid for WBR?

Q: Not even sure why I bought this company many years ago but with the recent drop wondering if its an opportunity to buy more. What's your view on their financial situation?

Q: In anticipation of a January small cap bounce, please recommend 4 Cnd and 4 US stocks to start to track now. Thanks for your continued guidance,

Q: The Globe and Mail has an interesting piece on DND. Apparently the CEO has received share grants of over 9,000,000 shares in the last 3 years. These have a current market value of over $100,000,000. The market cap of the company is only $900,000,000. I see red flags, but Mr. Proud sees a parade. What do you think?

Q: Can you comment on the stock with its recent acquisition and its share spike. Would you consider it a buy and if so at what price.

Q: What can be learned from XBC fall from grace? It was a highly touted stock and went to zero in a flash. Were there any warning signs that in retrospect you should have seen and can you share those with us as a teaching moment for us, your subscribers.

Q: Your thoughts on ASTL ? Is it "safe" ? I note it is at a 52 week low.

Q: I have a position in FOBI and am down quite a bit. I understand small caps are under a lot of pressure currently. Is there a worry that this company could go bankrupt? With a longer term outlook would you continue to hold it ?

Q: I have several small cap stocks which are significantly down in 2022. I need to harvest some tax losses. Can you rank these in on a scale of 1 to 10.....#1 being "Sell for sure", and #10 = "speculative hold for possible recovery".
