Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: May I please get your thoughts on Smith Micro Software Inc (SMSI)? Recently reported results that the market reacted very positively to. Should I wait for the dust to settle a bit or do these results lend credence to starting a small speculative position (0.5-1%) for the high risk allocation of my portfolio at current price levels?

Q: 5i has recommended all companies listed above. Many of your members have expressed concern over each of these companies. As soon as the onslaught begins you have defended all of them. COV is the latest stock - I don't understand your position. You appear to be growth and momentum oriented and get in well after the easy money has been made. You tend to want to stay in all sectors regardless of the climate. Why are we in Canadian health care? GUD is nightmare, RHT was a pump and dump and now COV. These are trades not investments. I have 25 Canadian stocks 10 of which are 5i all double digit losses wiping out any gains on the remaining stocks most of which are not 5i selections. Please remind us what is 5i again and why are we here?

Q: Can you please advise which ETF you prefer and why: VTI or DIA?

And secondly, why is MSI rated as a hold? I'm up 40% over the last year...and it comes with a respectable dividend of 2.54%. What am I missing here?

Thank you.

Q: Hello!
PFB popped up on my value screen recently. While interesting, it's not compelling. My concerns are the continuing low volume -- you pointed this out in your last comment from Dec. 2017 -- and the construction outlook, which to my mind is a risk.

I'd appreciate hearing your perspective.

Thanks!

Q: Hello team. In a nutshell, what is going on at PAYS that has made it "rocket" up as of late. What has fundamentally changed in their business after all these years of being at penny-stock share price levels? Is it something fundamentally that strong that we can expect big growth ahead for years? Are they doing something "disruptive"

Also, if you had to choose between LSPD and PAYS today, which would it be for long-term growth and share price appreciation potential here? Thanks
Shane.
