Q: Could you update your opinion of Velan given that activist investors are at work trying to improve the company, from what I hear? I would probably be looking at a 1-2 year hold in my TFSA.

Q: I have $4,200 "invested" in WILD , in my TFSA account. Currently I am down $3,600 with only $600 residual value. Thinking of accepting the full loss, selling and putting the $600 to some other use but wonder if I'm better off just holding on at this point. With no tax loss benefit, which way would you go here?
Thanks for your thoughts,
Mark

Q: I have a "friend" promoting this stock. I am always leery of these "tips" but admit I do look into them to see if there is any potential merit in a speculative play. I cannot find any meaningful info on this company. Can you share with me what you know about it.
Thanks John

Q: Some impressive metrics on this. Its small but is it investable?

Q: After a recent run to $2.75 H on Jan 16,STC retreated to $2.38 on Jan 21.Any reason? Is this a good point to add to my 1% position(p/p $2.47)especially in light of the sharp drop in Asian markets & U.S. futures today? Also your expectations of eps & revenue of its Q2 on Feb 27. Txs for u usual great services & views Looking forward to seeing Ryan on BNN,Feb 26

Q: The favour of the day is clearly companies with a large ESG factor, however the valuations are through the roof. Can you suggest some names that are still in the reasonable p/e range.
Thanks in advance.

Q: Hello,looking to buy, could you comment for growth and income.(Do like its portfolio of companies). It looks like a $ 4.25 target price? Or would you consider it too risky?
Would you recommend an alternative in the 5%
distribution range. Looking for growth with some safety.

Q: Pbl still expensive at current price? Is it fast growing company? Any debt? You thoughts please. Many thanks

Q: Based on a question from a month ago I took a half position in XBC. It’s up 43% since then (thanks!). I’m considering a full position and am okay with risk. My concern is whether there has been too large a run up in the past month, or would you still consider this early days for this stock in an emerging sector?

Q: Re Acuityads are you aware of any reason/news for the rising stock price today.
Thanks
John

Q: has this stock been halted? why?

Q: Hi 5i Team. Thanks for your great service.
With all the renewed hype with regards to green/ESG companies, is there a need to own all of the above companies or do their services overlap? Which ones would you own?

Thanks

Dave.
