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

Q: I have decided to look outside of Canada for small cap exposure. I am interested in either a mutual fund or ETF in a non emerging market economy. Currently own Russell 2000. What other recommendations would you have for both USA and elsewhere. Can be either Canadian or U.S dollars.

Thanks

Paul

Q: Sangoma Technologies released fiscal Q3 results this evening. Revenues have grown for the eight consecutive quarter, 29% this past quarter. The Company stated in the earnings release that total revenues for fiscal 2017 will now exceed their guidance of $25 million. As the market cap grows (today still trading less than 1X sales) do you think this Company would be considered for your model growth portfolio?

Q: Hello,
5NPlus seems to have a huge momentum. I saw your previous response to a question..about not covering this stock. Have things turned around in this company? Do you think this company should be considered in the basic materials sector along with ccl, aem and stella. Thanks. Shyam

Q: Hi Team, On May 8/17 I asked a general question on TOS and your answer was:TOS has done a very good job getting the company to where it is, with FDA approval, good partners and a solid growth opportunity worldwide. We like what it has done, and it has good potential. But.....the stock is very expensive and this needs consideration. It trades at 7X 'expected' 2018 sales already. It is expected to turn a profit in 2018 but any slowdown or problems would really hurt the stock. We would not 'assume' 40% returns here, but do like it generally today.
I have a followup question, how much of TOS's revenue would come from the US or Europe? My thinking is if TOS has a significant exposure to the US in particular this would help me make an investment decision. It appears to me today good companies with US exposure are worth a little special attention or premium. Thanks as always. Chris

Q: My wife and I just started out an resp for our 3 year old. We only have enough to start out with one position and are planing on adding a potion or two every year. We are ok with some risk at this stage. Can you recommend one or two stocks at his point in time with good potential over the next 5 to ten years? I was thinking GUD may be a good fit. You are the experts though.

Q: The convertible debenture with Mill Road Capital has me confused. If it converts into shares at $8.25/share that means the company would issue 1.8 million shares to pay back the $15 million in dentures. In addition the company has the option to pay the interest for the first 2 years "in kind" which I assume means shares of the company and not cups of coffee :) If this option is exercised the principal amount is increased by the amount of interest owing. I don't get it. If the company chooses this option it sounds like they are paying the interest charges twice, once in kind and the second time by having the principal amount of the debenture increased. Is this normal? Thirdly the debenture has a net settlement feature. It says the company can pay off the face value of the debenture in cash and any excess value of the underlying security in shares. Why does the company have to pay back more than the face value of the security if the shares are trading above the conversion price? Am I understanding this correctly?
