Investment Q&A

Q: CWX is down from its high and would like to buy a full 5 % position in my portfolio. I know the debt is a bit high due to inventory but if your garage has 20 cases of beer in it isn't that a good thing. I find having inventory puts the company in a position to manage good and bad times. The 2.25 percent payout at the end of this month is it safe?With hurricanes and wild fires everywhere pressure treated wood will be needed I think. Should I proceed with a full position before the dividend payout. Thanks for the great work you do.

Q: Market reaction is very positive to the earnings announcement. Is there anything particularly noteworthy to you? Thanks.

Q: What do you think of this company for a speculative buy.

Q: What do you think about ECO as a small cap investment opportunity? Growth looks good to me and their cash balance is almost half the market cap. I'm sure there are more things to consider though.

Q: What is you considered observation on Peekaboo Beans 'BEAN' on CSE. This company has a rather interesting marketing style a la 'party' type sale of kids clothing. The context and dynamic approach to sales along with the very focussed founder, president and CEO, Traci Costa. The numbers $ are growing and there seems to be forward motion and depth. Also what is the significance good or bad, on the switch from the Venture to CSE listing. As an aside observation, the CSE seems to be growing in listings and has an increasing IPO issue output. All in all, your in depth opinion please...

Q: I see no one has asked a question about WTER.V or WTER on U.S. market that produces alkaline water. After reading an article about them, on the surface it looks like they have a great future ahead for them. What do think after you have had a chance to analyze this stock? Thanks.

Q: VMD has been very strong after its latest earnings report. You often caution about selling your winners or selling into momentum but I am wondering if, given the history of its predecessor (PHM) and its relatively small size, if its time to sell 1/2 and take some profits. I find buying easy, its knowing when to sell that always messes me up! Help.

Thanks
Scott

EBM stock price has run up to $5 from 7 cents this year. Could you please comments on their products and management team. Is it buyable at this level?
Thanks

Q: The stock price falls on a daily basis. My understanding is that business is very good. What triggered the drop was news that in the state of Colorado, where QST does most of it's business, there will be on the November ballot an initiative asking people if drilling in Colorado should be restricted to at least 2500 feet away from homes, schools etc. Companies that do most of their gas business in Colorado ( like Extraction Energy) have taken a bit of a hit but nothing like Questor. If you could give any advise to Questor management on how to deal with the share price slide, what would it be?

Q: I'm considering BGFS as an investment & would appreciate your comments on it including information about the # of shares out, their debt load , profit prospects & future prospects in their field of business.Comments on their last quarter would also be helpful.
Thanks, as always

Q: May I please have your opinion on Pershing Gold Corp? It seems like insiders own a large % of the company and are continuing to buy. Thank you.

Q: Hello 5I Team.
I'm intrigued with the heavy insider purchasing in Acerus Pharm, and, I like the business they are in. I took a very small position but would really appreciate your analysis prior to adding to ASP.
Thank you!

Q: I'm considering reentering Caledonia and I'm trying to figure out what is behind the recent drop. The Zimbabwe "election" seems to be resolved without too much turmoil. Gold has been weak, but with an AISC of $856 the company still has good earnings to support the dividend. Reduced taxes offset the somewhat weaker production results from the last quarter and future production increases are forecast. Finally the proposed acquisition of a further 15% interest in the mine appears to be on good terms for the company. The drop to me seems overdone and I'm thinking that a move back to the $10-11 range would be reasonable. I'm interested in your thoughts.

Thanks, Jason

Q: 9:50 AM 8/30/2018
I would appreciate it if you could give me your opinion on Chesswood Group Ltd. Could you please comment on :

it's overall financial stability and growth prospects,
level of debts,
payout ratio,
robustness and sustainability of it's dividend,
rate of dividend growth,
level of insider ownership,
and how likely it is to do in a major market downturn.

How would you compare it to other companies in the same line of business and what would these be?

Would you recommend Chesswood for an income portfolio for a retiree and how large a position would you think prudent?

I see some insider sales recently in the $12.40 range and a lot of share buybacks in the $10.60 to $10.96 range. Does this mean the company thinks the shares are overvalued at present?

Thank you............. Paul K.

Q: Does this stock have potential still? I hold many shares and I'm down 70%. What would you guys do?

Thanks!
