Q: Hi 5i:
What do you think about Assure at this point? I have been patient with a small position despite the suggestion just to sell and move on to something untroubled, just to see what would happen and because it actually seemed like it had an interesting business. The problems they had seem to be getting resolved. The share price has been relatively stable for a while now with the odd uptick recently. Is there enough going on there to justify my continuing to hold or would you still say no reason to stick around? Thanks!

Q: Hello! Magellan Aerospace has popped up on one of my value screens. As far as key value ratios go (P/E, P/B, P/S, D/E etc.) it looks promising. Profitability and Management Effectiveness ratios vis-a-vis its competitive set look decent, as does the positive analyst coverage. Insider buying in past year is negligible, however. I'd appreciate hearing your take.

Q: Good Morning,
I have narrowed down my decision to buying either COV or PHO for my $6000 TFSA contribution this year. I don't need the money for years into the future and risk is not an issue. I like both very much but wondering what you think for maximum growth? I think PHO is more cyclical and if we do get into a recession in the next 2-3 years it could take a pretty big hit. However, Covalon being in the medical supplies industry I would think it would hold up pretty well during a recession? What would you buy to maximize growth over the next 10 years plus ?
Thanks

The Company disclosed during it Fiscal Q1 investor call that they signed a major multi-year renewal deal for its Play MPE SaaS software with Universal Music with included a 14% increase on monthly recurring fees. Currently Universal labels accounts for about 40% of DSY's revenues.

Q: What Canadian listed ETFs that are invested more so in growth stocks would be suitable for a TFSA with a mid to long term horizon? I wish to have geographic diversification through one or more ETFs and one or more ETFs investing in small to mid-cap stocks. If there are mutual funds that have better performance, after fees, please list as well.
