Investment Q&A

Q: I have a half position in this stock ET.CA which when asked in the past you have said there is no growth so might want to let it go, and so because of the div, I just left it to go back up. Today they announced a special div. Will the stock typically go down after the dividend has been paid out Dec 18th? And if I should sell, would I need to hold to the 19th to get the special Dividend and then sell? When is the best time to sell? Or is the company doing a turn around and it's worth to hang on? If they are doing better, I'm happy to keep it or could move on, and then what would I replace it with.? Please advise.

Q: Could you evaluate the current valuation of SCZ, and when considering their growth rate what does valuation look like?

Q: Good morning,

Aeluema, which I can’t find in the database has come off of its latest decline.

It is tied with lidar, sem’s, quantum. Would you please give your assessment on this company in its present state as a speculative starter position.

Thank you.

Q: Do you have any opinion about Aluula Composites? A friend mentioned it to me. Still very early stage, only $87 million market cap. Q3 had 66% revenue growth and 41% margin. Interesting products. Not yet profitable, and I usually (not always) stay away from companies that aren't profitable.

Q: Your thoughts on the recent earnings? Had a nice gain, should I hold, add, or sell to move onto another name in the sector? What would you recommend? Thank you

Q: I would like to diversify my gold miners into some silver miners. I already have PAAS. What would you suggest for a compliment to PAAS? And a brief reason why?

Q: Would appreciate your assessment of the nature of Electrovaya's business and its growth prospects.
To what sector is its future ,most directly tied: AI, power, industry, other?

Thank you,

Q: Hi 5i
Electrovaya reported what appears to be good quarterly and yearly numbers yesterday.

May I please have your thoughts on the results and the company itself within the battery space?

Is this a good company to invest in in this space or do you feel that there are others that have better long term (3-5 years) prospects?

Q: Investable CCCX?

Q: Please comment on the 3rd q results. For a company that got hammered by tariffs, it seems to be adjusting ok.

Q: First of all thank you for mentioning this in your Q&A so long ago . +1784% since purchase. More evidence to ride your winners and trim your losers.

Can you please comment on earnings.

Q: I forgot to put in Canadian in my question that you responded to today. Rephrased - What are your top 10 Canadian small caps. Please put your response in the order you would buy them for the largest total gain (dividend and capital gain) over the next two years.

Q: Can you describe what Zedcore does and why it has performed so well. Is its product line unique or is there aggressive competition? Is there anything that really sets it apart from others? If not, then why has it been a go to stock over the past while? How would you rate it out of 10? Where do you see there stock price in 6 months?

Q: I'm analyzing some pharma companies for a potential single company to add to the portfolio. I know you like Cipher in Canada. I'm looking for outsized long term returns, so I'm excluding mega caps like Eli Lilly etc. More looking to get in earlier and hold a company that has the criteria to be a big name down the road. Can you compare CPH to KRYS, which is a US company that filters pretty well for what I'm looking for. Let me know which of the 2 looks like the better choice? Thx

Q: What can you tell me about this company? My brother clued me into this as a “hot tip” but I can’t find a lot of information about it.

Q: I liked this question from Todd in November:
"I’m only interested in Canadian compounders. Compounding companies that are mid to large cap that I am invested in are CSU, TOI, LMN, TFII, and ATD. Can you recommend 5-10 possibilities for 5-10 year compounders in the Canadian small cap space?"

Can you change "Canadian" to "American" and answer the same way for small/mid cap American companies?

Q: I have been holding KSI for months, and it has been trading sideways to down since my initial purchase. I have read through summaries of its last several quarterly reports, going back to Q1 2024, and it seems that the high-profile metrics (revenue, gross profit, EBITDA) are all consistently improving and trending in the right direction. Operating expenses increased in the most recent quarter, but it is my understanding that they did so because the company increased investments in R&D, along with sales and marketing.

In short, it seems to me that the company is making progress where it counts, and making moves to position it for further improvement. The market seems to be unhappy with the company. I am looking to increase my exposure to KSI, but I can't decide if my interpretation of results is accurate or wishful thinking. I only have about a 1% exposure to KSI, so doubling it (roughly what I would be putting into the investment) is not going to be a game-changer for me. Any thoughts here on whether I should add now, wait until further consolidation in price, or simply move onto another idea? As always, I appreciate what 5i provides, and I have referred many people to your service. It is worth the investment.

Q: You last commented on DBO a year and a half ago. What are your thoughts now as the company seems to have some momentum?

Q: Can I ask your thoughts on TSHA? Clinical-stage biotech. Curious about current valuation compared to peers, outlook, path to sales and profitability.
