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

Q: I am interested in Village Farms to diversify my holdings in the marijuana sector and it seems like a safer play, currently I just hold ICC for a speculative play on South America.
What are the key metrics on VFF, earnings, book value, P/E etc… and would you consider this a good entry point now that it has come off its recent high after the Emerald Health joint venture announcement?

Q: I have been reading the recent news on Patriot One Technologies. Their technology identifies concealed weapons without the person's knowledge. If their technology is as good as it would appear to be, than PAT's revenue will explode in the coming years.

The current market valuation is more or less ¬$50,000,000, my best guess is PAT's income for the next twelve months will be in the $12,000,000 to $15,000,000. I am unable to predict how profitable the company will be, but their product sells for $10,000 plus PAT will receive some recurring revenues. I am guessing that most of the development and research costs are behind them, and that the cost of manufacturing their product will be less than $10,000. My question is, is there a method one can use in order to figure out if the current valuation is reasonable or not ?

Q: Brick Brewing Company has shown very good gains since I bought it. Do you see further upside in relation to the fundamentals and momentum? I am at a decision point and considering taking my profits and investing the original amount in another small/medium size brewery. If I were to do this do you have any suggestions regarding this type of company. Thanks.

Q: Hello.
At the moment Assure Holdings reminds me of CRH or PHM before the market took notice and the explosive share price gains that followed. Can you comment on valuation and overall as a speculative position? It looks quite cheap to me albeit a very limited public reporting history. Keystone recently recommended the stock as a spec buy. I'm interested to get 5i's take. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i group
I find that the information you provide is very informative and really useful for studying new investment opportunities. I am interested in midcaps at a reasonable price, with solid dividends and decent growth possibilities. In this connection I have been following Calian Group for some time. Could you give me your opinion of this company?

Thanks, David

Q: Nexoptic received Notice of Allowance from the USPTO around June 29. As I understand, this means the USPTO intends to issue patent within 3 months (by Sept 30), subject to the filing fee and any blueprints necessary. Nexoptic's press release advise they expect to receive the patent in 4-8 weeks (meaning by August 31). This should quell questions "as to the robustness of its technology".
Other than your valid point of no sales at this point, is there a reason you can see that this significant event has not sparked greater interest by moving the share price and volume upwards?
