Q: I hold SPOT and have been adding to my position on current weakness. Their earnings took a hit recently but they also acquired DigiGeoData which looks like a good move to me. They are profitable at this size and can scale quickly. I'm surprised that it continues to fall past the 70 cent mark and hit 64 cents today to make the p/e of 9x, p/book of 2 and price to sales under 8x. The fundamentals look great to me - am I missing something?

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: Between these two Small cap ETFs, which would you prefer IJR or AVUV? Is there much duplication between the two or can they both be held? Do you have something else you prefer in the small cap space?

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: Your thoughts on yesterday's quarterly release? I own a small position in my TFSA and am patient. My belief is their fortunes are tied to the ending of Covid. Their press release indicated status quo until some time in 2023. Worth continuing to hold?

Thanks...Steve

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.
