Q: Hello 5i:

I'm down 21% on Sylogist. I don't see any tailwinds for this stock, do you? I'm considering selling it to purchase Photon. Would this be a wise decision?

Thanks

Q: The Russell 2000 has had a nice run up and now appears to be descending. I need US$ and would like to realize my profits in US$ while the Cdn$ is strong. As I have Loss carry forwards for tax purposes there will be no tax payable on this transaction. I would consider buying back in to IWO if you feel the Russell 2000 will reverse and start to rise again. What do you think at this time about investing in IWO? Mike

Q: I'm curious about the recent stock option grant approval (> 3 mil shares @.36) for OG employees and how that might influence the stock price in the short term? Yesterday it dropped down to .335, I assume on this news. I think it a positive move for staff to feel invested in the growth and evolution of this young company. Just curious about how that might affect stock prices in the short term and any other thoughts you have about this organization?
