Q: Hi, My question is about IOU Financial, a small US business loan provider. Their financials seem to be improving, with operating expenses expected to come down in Q4 and they recently secured a new credit facility that lowers their financing cost.

With interest rates going up and USA's economy improving, do you see potential in this name ? What would be the worst risks for them? ( besides being a micro cap )

Thanks

Q: Gentleman
Congrats to the staff member with the newborn, I am sure he will be busy. My question is about the latest take-over bid for Norsat.This is the second one from a different party, do you feel that this is a fair offer? I am thinking of selling,just in case the Feds raise the inclusion rate on capital gains, though it may be to late because the budget come out in 3 days.

Thanks

Q: A follow up question on the one asked by Micheal. Over the past 5 years the company's auditor has included a going concern note in all financial statements and mentions the accumulated deficit as the issue. From the STATEMENTS OF CHANGES IN EQUITY in company's financial statements it cites a deficit of approx $33 million. Is this deficit a total of losses the company has accrued over the years? If not what is it and why does it affect the company into the future. Thanks

Q: Hi, I know TMG is a micro cap and highly risky. However the fundamentals seem to be moving in the right direction, and the products seem relevant in a growing space (energy efficiency). I'm interested if you're familiar with any of the management team or board members history? Specifically if any of the team have a recognizable track record or success or failure.

Q: Since August 2016 has your interest in this little company been peaked more? Would this be a good growth prospect it seems to be chugging along well. Or could it possibly get bought by a bigger company one day?

Thanks

Q: Hello,
I received the BKD Notice of AGM & Special Meeting today. Hard to clearly discern what the transaction is. Would appreciate it i you can advise. Also: I note they want to reverse split the shares 10 for 1. In my experience this alway seems to have a net negative impact on share value, although I know it should not.

BTW, on Mar 13th Rick mentioned a very good March ETF update by you...and sorry but I can't find it.
Thanks for your assistance!
Brian
