Investment Q&A

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

Q: The shares of PYR have moved up today and a company with the symbol HPQ announce it has ordered a second phase of Process Characterization Testing from PyroGenesis; alas, the HPQ in question is not Hewlett-Packard but a much smaller company "HPQ Silicon Resources" which is listed in Frankfurt and on the TSX-Venture exchange.

What can you tell us about this TSX.V-listed HPQ and is its announced relationship with PYR meaningful for the continuing progress of Pyrogenesis Canada?

Thanks to the 5i team for their informative insights.

The reduction in borrowing costs from $26.4M in 2015 to a pro-forma of $4.5M along with a reduction in their weighted average interest rate from 6.7% to 5.25% is impressive. Would you please provide your assessment of this company and also comment if it time to buy this stock? Thanks Gordon

Q: I have been watching this micro cap (Eurocontrol Technics - EUO)for awhile now. After the sale of one of their technologies early last year the company is now trading at approximately cash / cash equivalents on the balance sheet and it boasts some interesting imagery & composition technology in the semiconductor measurement space which is just entering the commercial stage. The technology seems somewhat aligned with Photon Controls business which has done wonders. Would this be an interesting business combination? What do you think of EUO as a micro cap speculation for high risk capital?

Thanks

Q: I've been interested in NXO lately due to the market activity so I did a bit of research on the technology itself. The theory of flat lenses and the proof of concept that it works was discovered by Federico Capasso and his team at Harvard University. When their research paper was first published, Federico Capasso was contacted by one of the world's largest smartphone manufactures (which means they are now working on it). Since then many of the research team members have been picked off by various universities and companies world wide to develop it's potential further.
The point is (NXO) Nexoptic did not invent the technology of their prototype lens system.
So investors beware that NXO really has nothing proprietary, nor do they have the size and scale of potential competitors. The idea that an iPhone will someday have Nexoptic lenses is probably a bit of a stretch. The best outcome I see is that their telescope patent (if approved) is sold to a larger manufacturer, which is not going to make the average investor any money over the next 5 years.
I hope I'm wrong and wish them luck!
