Investment Q&A

Q: Thank you 5i for helping me realize it is time to refocus my investment philosophy.
Ignorance is bliss. In more recent times, my bliss has turned to self scrutiny full responsibility for my investment decisions. Thus I signed up with 5i because what I see offered is good common advice, not hopeful returns.

About a year ago I was in a blissful state and followed some advice to invest in these companies as potential Canadian 10+ baggers: TSO3 INC, CRH MEDICAL, SUNOPTA, EXCO TECHNOLOGIES, PIZZA PIZZA ROYALTY CORP, MEDICAL FACILITIES, MAJOR DRILLING GRP INTL, WESTAIM CORP, CORBY SPIRIT & WINE-A, TRICON CAPITAL, and AUTOMOTIVE PPTY REIT
Consequently, I invested about 5% of my total portfolio in the hopes of winners. One year later all are down 10% or more with a combined loss on paper, ytd, of almost 20%.
Thankfully, the majority of my stock investments are in ETFs. I am not opposed to owning individual stocks. Based on your views of these companies, should I sell off all or any of these and make some wiser, less speculative choices? Any other sage advice would also be welcomed.

Q: Hello,
I have another (very) small cap stock question.
Do you have any information on Pascal? Seems interesting from a couple of perspectives.

From their website: "However, Pascal is the first to identify a mechanism in which cannabinoids may provide a direct benefit in immunotherapy."

Thanks!

Q: I noticed that QST had a one time impairment charge of $0.04 per share in Q4. If you add that back that to Q4 results, isn't QST's stock undervalued today based on its growth profile, current revenue run rate plus that the Company stated (in its earnings press release) that its revenue growth is sustainable?

Q: Following up on the comments on year end numbers, without the one time charge the earnings were actually ahead of estimates at 18 cents for the year vs. 17 cents estimated.

Q: If not asked already, comments please on QST results released today and what it might mean going forward. They seem strong across the board.

Q: I have a small position in FLY and am looking either to add to it or take another small position in PHO or BUS. What are your thoughts ?

Q: Do you think there is any possibility that urethecast will be taken over; I have a [very] small position but am getting tired of waiting for something to happen
Thanks

Q: Hello,
I'm wondering if you have any update on Snipp Interactive? It is a very small cap but appears to be growing. No analysts, but Thompson Reuters seems to like it more recently.-
"The score for Snipp Interactive Inc reached its 3-year high of 7 this week.
- The recent change in the Average Score was primarily due to an improvement in the Price Momentum and Risk component scores".

I'd appreciate your fine insights.
Thanks,
Brian

Q: Park Lawn made another drop on Thursday based I assume on its earnings announcement. It would appear that profit dropped , despite increased sales. However it also appears cash flow was much stronger and I think it may be a great opportunity to add more. Am I reading this correctly?

Q: Can you comment on Park Lawn's earnings, released on March 28? There seems to be a lot of moving parts with one time items all over the place, making it a little difficult to objectively assess.

Can you also comment on their debt profile?

Thanks.

Q: Watched the CEO of this company on BNN it was a very interesting interview with their technology on recovering titanium and zircon from the tailings of the oil sands mining ventures how significant do you think this company could be going forward "IF" things went good for them is this their main project or is their any other projects in their pipeline thanks as always

Q: Could you provided some comments on Terra Firma results just released? Still a Buy?

Thanks,
Craig

Q: This cobalt company in Vancouver. Any information positive or negative about them? There was an article about them in the Financial Post

Q: Park Lawn is dropping a lot today - any news or reasons? Is it a buying opportunity?

Q: Your thoughts on TPK would appreciated, thank you.

Q: Can I please get your opinion of Pivot's recent results. Thanks!

Q: This one is crashing too.
Are all these small caps pump and dumb?

Q: What is the best place to get the very latest news on Canadian companies? Free would be best but I would be willing to pay if it was a good service. I see moves in stocks I own and then often have to “Google” the company and find the relevant news. What does 5i use, Morningstar?
On this note, I see a move in DWS-X today with big volume, but could not find any news. Do you know what this is about?
Thanks
John

Q: Can you give me an opinion on XBC trading at 0.64 cents on the Venture EX. This has a good # 9 rating on Thompson Reports
