Q: Hi,
Morguard has bought a substantial position in PLZ and since the news release the stock keep moving up. I have sold 20% of my position because I do not believe that a takeover is in the cards but I am starting to doubt. Do you know who was the seller(s)? Michael Zakuta, the best REIT CEO in my opinion ( I worked 20 years in real estate), is the major shareholder and is still buying regularly. Has Morguard ever done a takeover? or taking a company private with management?
Thank you in advance

Q: Dear 5i,
I am interested in speculating on this company with $1,000 to $2,000 which I am prepared to lose. Should I purchase this in my TFSA or NonReg account so I can use the tax loss if necessary? Can you explain your rationale for choosing one account over the other. I purchased Prometics awhile back and it did not turn out well. Would you say "ATE" has the same risk level as PLI?

thanks

Q: Thoughts on this company please. Apparently, they use PyroGenesis' technology to produce silicon. CEO claims that this quarter they will be producing silicon wafers for the battery industry. Apparently switching from graphite to silicon in batteries is the 'Holy Grail' as it increases capacity by 10x.
Thanks.

Q: Can you please help me understand why Blackline is valued at 2.5 times QST when QST seems to have way better metrics ( profit, gross margin)? While QST's revenue is not growing as fast, one can argue that QST only chooses to sell prodcutt aht it can sell/rent where there is a profit etc. QST's management is probably a least as good as BLN. Do you think there is a discount because the CEO of QST is a woman? Maybe it is just investor relations, lack of private placement of QST shares? Or fear of regulations or lack thereof hurting QST. Anyone who follows the climate change debate would see methane reduction as one of the the big news story of the past year.
