Q: Dear 5i team.

Looking to add to my SYZ position, but have a couple of questions.

1) Why do you show NR in your recent portfolio update as at Feb 10 but your March 21 co. report you gave it a B+?

2) Who are it's competitors and please give a brief comparison in terms of where SYZ fits on the list if stack ranked?

3) Would it make sense for them to acquire any of them in terms of synergies?

I am considering adding to my position given the market weakness and the stock current negative momentum, but wanted your input first.

Many thanks.

Q: This company is projected to make 1.32 US/share for 2021 or $1.68 CDN.. The numbers come out next week. It seems awfully cheap and indications are the seafood industry is very strong. Are you able to tell me the highest p/e it has ever traded at? If the 4th q numbers are strong, I think they may raise the dividend closer to the pre-covid levels.

Q: I have owned MCR for quite some time and wanted to get out of it but I was down about 40% for the longest time, Now there's news its going private at 4 bucks a share and the price has skyrocketed. At the 3.92 its currently trading at I'm only down 5%, so would this be a good time to exit? When would I receive the cash of 4$ a share if I continue to hold?

Q: I would appreciate your thoughts on Verde Agritech recently issues 2.5 million tonnes permit and their plant 2 expansion which will result in overall production of 1.8 million tonnes.

With it's value increase its become a larger percentage of my portfolio and I think about trimming. However I also think about feeding the growers and the company is just entering an exciting period of growth.

Q: Why do some companies issue general statements prior to the release of their quarterly reports? EGLX and SIS, among others, have recently done this. I can understand if there is something material (usually negative) that is happening people should know but I get suspicious when it is just to announce good news on what is a usually lagging stock price. The negative side I see to this is that if they announce good news when their stocks are down if next time they don't make a special announcement (and the stock is still down) then should we infer a bad new quarterly report is coming?

Appreciate your insight.
