Q: Hello 5i team; Any new thoughts on PEO and BYL. I am getting a bit impatient with both of these as of late. I am down 14% on BYL and 5% on PEO since buying them. I know you think highly of PEO. Do you feel it is consolidating after the previous run up or is there material weakness building in some regard? I am looking for near term catalysts to get these 2 stocks moving. BYL from my take should have numerous new avenues of growth after its recent takeover stemming from the whole roster of products acquired and now being able to sell them to their "approved" customers, in which Advantech never could because it didn't have the rights (from what I have gathered from company statements). Anyways just looking for some guidance if I should just hold on and ride these 2 out or sell and move on....

Q: In Nov IRO.v reported TTM EPS of $0.11USD for Q3 & it closed on Friday at $0.485. It appears to be extremely cheap with a P/E of roughly 3x. Fundamentals have been improving each quarter. They have some debt from the transformational acquisition of Papillon in 2016 but have been paying it down rapidly in 2017. With these key points above, I think it deserves some further consideration.

Another subscriber had asked about IRO in January & 5i said “At less than $10M market cap, we would completely avoid IRO.” Yes I agree, it’s a very illiquid microcap but that does not concern me because I’m not buying million of shares. I recently purchased a few thousand shares in my TFSA account. I thought it has potential to be a 4bagger this yr. Do you really think it should be avoid & why?

Q: I have significant tax loss on PHM, losses that are not usable. I have reduced my position but still have a large quantity of shares such that a penny makes a difference to me. Is it worth to wait and see (ride it out)? Does PHM.ca even have a PULSE or was this whole thing a scam? Very difficult to find info on PHM and they don’t want to respond to questions on next date it will report results.

Is it worth keeping VMD.ca the split-off company – Viomed seems to have some activity but if the same people are behind it , is it vulnerable or does it have some reasonable prospects for future growth?

Q: Hello 5i
I see you continue to be positive on RHT and recommend it at all near term prices.

With an effort to protect against downside movement in holdings owned, one of the technical rules I am working to utilize is to not purchase investments with declining stock prices.

What are your thoughts on buying RHT here ($2.23) and with the awareness of a price that appears to be undergoing a short term technical pullback. (potentially magnitude may be 1/3 of the rise)

Appreciate the service and your thoughts.
Dave

Q: It has been about a year since a question on this company.
They just announced a special dividend and their latest few quarters appear to be pretty good.
I know liquidity is an issue.
Can you please provide an update on the company and whether you would recommend taking an initial position at this time.
Thanks
