Q: I keep seeing Intrinsyc's stock trending upward this year and so too its market capitalization, now at about $37 million. Do you expect the trading multiple will expand on Intrinsyc's stock and hence put upward pressure on the share price once this TSX-listed Company's market cap gets closer to $50 million which could attract a first wave of small cap funds as new investors?

Q: I have watched this company, without actually buying any of its penny stock, for a few years now, fully expecting it to go under. (Initially its fortunes were closely tied to the mining industry.) However, to my surprise it has found other niches for its technology and trades fairly actively, settling down at around 4 cents. It seems to regularly get "rescued" by private placements, who in turn get warrants with a strike price a few cents higher than the share price. I presume that these private investors would not be putting their money into ADK if they didn't see some promise.

What is your opinion of the viability of this company? Is it a speculative buy?

Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i Research team , I am preparing for my next round of investments when the market decline broadly. I would like to capture the illiquidity premium: What percentage of a stock portfolio would you recommend for an average investor (1) and a lower risk aversion investor(2) to put in illiquid stocks (market cap between 1000 and 100 million $ and average daily trading value < 200 000$) such as VLN, TCS, TC, SCB, RX, RPI-u, PSD, PEO, MRD, MDF, LNF, LGT.B, LAS.A, ISV, HNZ, GDL, EFH, GBT, CXI, BCI, AF?
What would be your top five selections among these from total return/quality perspective over the long term? Would you have other such companies to suggest? Several of these companies do not have coverage from analysts neither conference call after quarterly results. Besides reading documents on sedar (press releases), how do you suggest following/analyzing those companies? Thank you, Eric

Q: Hello 5i team,
I have been following Pure for awhile and have been tempted. What causes hesitation is the size. you mentionned in one of the comments that there are some companies that a relatively conservative, retired investor should not own, as they are too risky. I make more than I need to live and so I am not adverse to a little risk. But, I was wondering how you see a company like Pure under this perspective? It would be great to have your comments on that subject in general, if you have time.
thanks
