Q: Hello 5i
Would you please offer your comments about what to do with FLY?
I was clearly aware it would be necessary to wait for outcome from Boeing tests - into July or longer. And that China is where they could see some growth with traction.

With the CFO departure, the optics are terrible and certainly do not indicate departing CFO's positive belief in near-term business potential.
Trading volume remains light with the stock down today. Does one continue to hold on with original plan to see how the testing goes at Boeing? Or join the CFO and depart this investment?

Thanks
Dave

Q: There have been a million questions on this stock which has been virtually decimated. The price now is at Sept 2016 levels when revenues were way lower than the current revenues. So can you please list out the pros and cons of this company, possible market penetration, competition, management credibility and their ownership. What would be next catalyst for this company which will drive the price. Do you think there would be some company who would be really interested to buy them. What should one do if they owned this as a 5% position in the portfolio at average price of 65 cents. Thanks

Q: I have been happily and successfully managing my own investments for 15 years primarily with the help of independent analyst services such as 5i (Thank You). I have always dedicated 5 - 10% of my portfolio to small and micro cap investments and met with great success until recently. The last two years I have seen really poor results from my small/micro cap investments with several big losers and none of the big 2, 3 or 5x winners. IOM is the latest kick in the head for me. I am finding that these sudden big losses stick with me emotionally more than they used too, probably because I am now fully retired and the absence of earned income is pushing me to a more conservative approach. Accordingly I am considering revising my strategy away from individual company investments and simply buying a good small cap and/or micro cap fund or ETF. Could you please comment generally on my strategic thinking here and also suggest some ETF or funds I might want to consider. Low Management expenses preferred of course.

Q: Any idea of when this stock will be trading again? Have you ever seen an auditing scandal with a happy ending? You would think this would be trading below $1 when trading eventually reopens. Also, could this company face litigation from shareholders who were obviously duped? Looks fishy with the American headquarters (ie why list in Canada when the American Market is much larger)
