Investment Q&A

Q: Vanadium seems to be the new hot metal, after lithium and cobalt. LGO has done very well, but a new listing, United Battery Metals, UBM, has recently done very well also. Probably just another speculative junior miner. Your comments, please? Thank you.

Q: Could you please comment on the most recent quarter, Is it still worth holding on. Is seems to be reacting negatively like Stars Group has been recently.

Q: I have owned Fortress Global Enterprises Inc. (FGE) for at least 5 years with an average cost of about $20.00 per share. It is now worth about $2.00. Fortress used to be involved in several paper businesses. However, due in part to the imposition of import duties imposed by some of the countries in which its customers were located, Fortress sold off some business lines, re-focussed on its pulp business and under-gone recent re-financing. Is there any hope for this company or should I dump it from my non-registered account and claim a capital loss?

Q: Just as a follow up to my previous question and a comment I am sure is on many members mind. I see that RHT is up a bit today after the call. Maybe a dead cat bounce who knows. The dilemma in selling at a 75% loss is that I do not get the tax loss as its in my TFSA. I imagine many members are in the same predicament. What little is left in the security, will make such a small difference in the overall portfolio, I would rather hang on and hope that your first impression of the Company was correct. Not sure my mentality is appropriate here, but I would rather take the lesson and hold, than to sell and then see it go back up.

Thoughts?

Q: With all the talk of an admittedly bad mistake (at best) by management, what has happened to the technology? Didn't you believe in iUgo and the accompanying smart phone app and the jump this company supposedly had in producing a superior remote monitoring product for chronic care patients? But they bruise their heals because they didn't understand CMS billing well enough and, oh well, so much for that technology? Is it great technology or not? Will it save government health care money or not? If it will, then surely CMS will come around and recognize this and eventually reimburse for the service, no? This all just seems odd that one day you're touting this company as having the one of the best technology stories in the health technology space, and the next they are a dog because they made a mistake. Is there no room for growing pains for a start up?

Q: I was wondering if you people monitored the conference call for reliq that was on this morning at 9 am . The stock seams to be up the last 2 days . What info was released that may be causing the rise, or, do you not bother covering the stock once you give a negative opinion on it. Thank you.

Q: Would you be surprised if this company got their act together or is the latest news destined to doom the company?

The value left is so small that I don’t think selling would really improve the overall return.

Is is more likely to go to zero than to regain its form?

Thanks.

Q: I know you have reservations about the company's history and certain individuals, but momentum has been good recently. On Oct. 17 at midday, about 120,000 shares ($1 million) traded in a few minutes, which I assume was an institutional order. Total volume for the day was near 600,000 shares, which has only occurred a few other times earlier this year, when the share price was much lower. Are you aware of any increasing institutional interest in VMD?

Q: Hi 5i
Would you recommend any of the above blockchain technology stocks, or others

thanks

Q: I noticed 5i has dropped Reliq a growth stock from your portfolio. Would STC, QST, ITC & CWL be good growth stock replacements given their current value?

Q: Afternoon guys:
I own this name and wondering if it’s s a name to continue to hold or buy more. could this name be a takeover candidate.
Thanks
Mark

Q: Can we get your view.on RHT with this mornings development

Q: Could you provide an update of your views on this stock ? Volume seems to be increasing substantially, with a rising price. Would you classify it as medical marijuana or tech/software programming stock ?
Thousand thanks,
JD

Q: Can I get your thoughts on ZCL, everyday looking better, any reason for the constant down draft?

Q: Hi 5iResearch.
Folks thank you for such a wonderful service.

Thoughts on this business, my friends on another website say the ROIC is around 16% on average over the last 5 years. The Operating Inc. is 22M over a market cap of 212M - so the earnings on enterprise value is ~ 10%..... Very low capital requirements and such a healthy ROIC.......this rate must be beating the company's WACC.... whats your take ?

Good business, cheap and creating value for shareholders when I put my monacle on my right eye........

Q: Hi, Any comments on the recent price drop ? Should the row about the disappearance of journalist and possible consequences for SA be investors' concern ? How could this play out for Covalon in near and long term, if it's relevant at all ? Thanks

Q: Not sure if readers are aware, but it looks like Photon bought #650,000 of their own shares during September with their abundance of cash. Also, Mawer New Canada increased their position to over 4% of the company. Can you comment about these 2 developments?

Q: i am concerned about the above 2 stocks, they are thin traders especially covalon.
in covalons case you are the only one following it, so when markets sell off a lot of investors panic and head for the exits.
with goeasy it trades a little more on a daily basis but it has just been killed lately, even though it is up on the year and their earnings announcements surprise to the upside it has gotten slaughtered,maybe again small investors are heading for the exits with their 25 shares, i am being sarcastic but i think your membership moves markets especially in these 2 . can you comment. dave

Q: On BNN this pot stock was described as being undervalued. I am not so sure; and would appreciate your perspective on EPIC. Not overly concerned about the risks but would like to know if the risk/reward is at least tilted in my favour.

Thanks.

Q: I would like your opinion on the above.
