Investment Q&A

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

Q: You commented on the good quarter but noted the only negative being lack of positive cashflow for the quarter. Would this not be expected for this type of company, with very large contracts, and high working capital requirements? The value proposition looks hard to ignore all things considered so I’m just trying to understand if this is actually something to worry about or not? Thanks

Q: Hi 5i team - Could you give me an update on some of the fundamentals for Brick Brewing. In particular P/E, level of debt if any, insider ownership and recent activity, cash on hand, anything else you would consider relevant. Would you classify this as a growth company and if so what are its prospects for growth. Thanks.

Q: I was wondering what your thoughts are now on Waterloo Brewing since they announced last week that they will be "ready to commercially produce" cannabis-infused beverages for 2020. It would seem that with a viable beer business generating $55 million plus in revenues a year plus a 3% dividend this company might be a way to play the cannabis space with limited downside. Thanks.

Taking a beating on the following companies and was wondering if they have any potential for a recovery in the next 3-5 years? Can you please provide a small explanation as why one would hold or sell? Thx

Q: I owned this one a fair bit ago and sold at $22.00 because it was not a huge dividend grower even though they do have special dividends from time to time. I was thinking of buying again at current price; however, concerned about business: know they have their own brands; but, licence agreements to distribute for other companies. How solid are these agreements? Of course, the other issue is trading volume - but, can live with that - buy a small position of 3 to 4K shs.

Q: Hi Guys,

My question is about VCI, or Vitreous Glass. The company has the exclusive right to buy all glass deposited at Alberta bottle depots, and then crushes it and sells the product to fiberglass manufacturers. My understanding is that the glass 'cullet' they produce is a significantly cheaper input to the fiberglass manufacturers than raw glass would be, so the three Alberta fiberglass manufacturers buy all cullet that they generate. The only restriction for this business is supply, not demand.

I know there have been questions in the past where your main concern is liquidity, but I keep getting drawn back to the name given it's high 10%+ dividend (all earnings are paid out as dividends), debt-free balance sheet, and earnings consistency (I tend to drink wine and return the bottles in good times and bad).

An argument for substantial price increases could be made given that their product is the cheapest option for fiberglass manufacturers, which would help grow the top line quite quickly. Why is this not a target for a leveraged buyout? It's easy to see how this could generate 20%+ with a bit of leverage.

Just a bit of rambling over what I feel is an undiscovered gem for income investors!
