Q: Hi 5i,
What is your take on Freshii (FRII) at this point, with the stock at its publicly traded low, the promotional noise having quieted somewhat, and its next quarterly report upcoming?
Also, recognizing that it is largely guesswork, from the stocks you are already very familiar with, are there any that you think may be well positioned to beat market expectations in the upcoming round of reporting?
Thanks?

Q: Rsi is currently taking over LBMaple Treat and as a result is offering common shares at 5.90 and a debenture at 5 percent. For a riff account that is interested capital preservation over growth and a good income what do you think of these 2 offerings? Do you prefer one over the other, and do you think this is a good acquisition of the company. Lastly, how vulnerable is RSI stock price in a recession or higher interest rates-I guess I am asking what are the risks.
Thank you.
Maggie

Q: Every time this stock gets near $5 I am tempted even though part of my brain always says no! My understanding is that they have a backlog, and have had over at least the past year. That's what makes me nervous. Why is the company not profitable ttm under this scenario? Do they bid too low, or are they just trying to keep hold of experienced staff for the eventual recovery?
(Is that eventual upturn even certain?)

Q: vpy has had a 30% move this week on positive news releases. any change to your thoughts?

Q: Can you provide some insight on Crown Partner symbol crwn?

Q: I am starting an RESP fund for my new son (initial investment maxed at $5000). I would like to begin with a somewhat aggressive growth-seeking small portfolio, and to then gradually add one or two stocks each year for diversification up to about 8 or 10 stocks in total. For my opening purchase, I am considering three stocks -- Kinaxis (KXS), Constellation (CSU), and Knight Therapeutics (GUD). Two questions: This seems to be a decent time to buy these particular stocks, would you agree? And would you replace any these stocks with any others? (I'm open to anything growthy, but have been considering Shopify (SHOP), Photon Control (PHO), Enghouse (ENGH).) Thanks, and great job.
PS: Should I wait to buy until a few days after the BoC rate decision, or has the market reaction more or less already played out?

Q: Are there public companies in Canada suitable for playing blockchain?

Q: Could you give your thoughts on Sandvine. I hold a small position, and not sure what is the best direction to take. Do I sell at todays price or hold until final bid price is set. Is there a chance both offers fall through, another offer come in or the share price drops. Thank you.

Q: Would you kindly give us your opinion on the updated offer for Sandvine and what shareholders should do? It would appear this is the week that a final resolution will take place. Do you agree?

Thanks, Bryan

Q: Wanting to add one of these to add a little growth. Whixh would be your preference and why. Thx

Q: only one question in your files about the above, and 6 months old now.......still small company but doing fairly well in solar and wonder if you have any further comment?.......still small but doing fairly well revenue wise and just about break even these days........

Q: I own FGD and I have made money by selling this stock quite a few times at different prices as high as 90 cents. I currently own 14000 shares which is about 3.5% of my portfolio and I am down 25%. When the price was higher the stock dod not make much revenue and the income was very low. The sales have been growing rapidly and the company is net income positive. Why would the stock tank when the news are actually more positive than before. The last time they issued stock was at 70 cents and the stock is trading at 44 cents. What are your views on this investment. Do you think it has potential like TNC. Thanks

Q: What are your views on these two companies? Are they good investments at this time?

Q: Still not so attractive at these prices? I am tempted to average down, should I, or should I wait and see?

Q: Apparently Echelon has just initiated coverage with a target at $13. I have not read the report.

Q: Stocks in your model portfolios. TNC - when is this takeover going to be completed? It seems like it is taking a long time.
ITC - this stock is the majority of the time under $2.00 and for the short period of time that it goes above $2.00, everyone hits the sell button and it goes back below $2.00. Should I be hitting the sell button the next time it gets over $2.00 because it is the worst performing stock in my portfolio. PEO - also has over the last two months been another under-performer and so should I get out of it? Thank you for your good service Dennis.
