Q: I think Aquila has been raising money by selling shares which were over-subscribed. It looks like insiders have purchased 24% of the issued shares. Finder's fees (cash and warrants) have been awarded to company insiders I suppose. Certainly there has been share dilution but surely dilution is preferable to borrowing money against non-existant cash flow. I know the stock is high risk but my exposure is very low - less than 0.1%.

Does everything still look OK to 5i?
Does Hudbay own any part of the Back-Fourty target?
Thanks

Q: Hi,
I am down 60% on this this one. Very small portion of my portfolio (less than 1%. Just wondering if I should average down or let it be for now. Stock looks pretty cheap on P/E, P/B and P/S. RFC went down with the oil and gas sector because of its large exposure to Alberta. RFC seems to be doing ok. Do you think this is dead money or does it have some potential in the medium term.

Q: Hi, Greenspace Brands seems to be receiving favourable coverage recently with several BNN guests liking it. The trend and tilt towards organic food is certainly growing specially the millenials and others with better affordability. What are the growth metrics for this company, acquisitions and organic? You had mentioned that stock is already expensive and there does n't seem to be much coverage among analysts, except one I noticed from Raymond James. company did a financing at $1.20 in December, 2016. Stock already trading at $1.67 and most gains made in last 2 weeks. Is it worth taking a small position, before it catches world's attention ? Premium Brands, also in food business, although not an identical co. but was n't discovered by retail investors when it was trading at a fraction of today's price just 3 years ago. Will appreciate your thoughts. Thanks

Q: Hi,,

I know this company would not be on your radar given the small size. That said, could you provide commentary on the potential prospects for this company and the balance sheet. I understand they have cash and growing revenues. Is there insider ownership? Any further insights would be appreciated.

Thanks

Q: In my RRSP for U.S. holdings I own DIA, IWO, IBB and VTI. I'm wondering if VTI is overkill because most of it is covered in the others? I'm thinking of selling it and deploying it into the others. If you agree, how should I deploy my US capital across DIA, IWO and IBB percentage wise? 50%, 25% and 25% or what do you suggest?

In my non registered account I was planning to put my US cash into the Dogs of the Dow, as I'm looking more for stability and dividends with that money. Do you think this is a good approach?
