Q: Greetings 5i Team,
I have been patiently (no pun intended) waiting for this company to bounce back after all bumps it went through the past year. As things were looking good at the beginning of the year (due to positive year end results), it has taken another step back recently due to what's been happening to markets around the world. I was wondering if it's a good idea/time to dilute the price of my $0.95 cost/share now. Thank you for your time.

Q: Hi, Happy New Year?
Well, in the middle of all this contagion, I have a little gem which has treated me well in the healthcare sector - MPH. Although Medicure trades on the Venture, it has held up well and seems to be making a significant move. Have you any thoughts on this stock?

Thanks, for your work.
Slainte,

Q: Hi, 5i
Regarding pbh, what are the biggest risks involved? How are its margins? Do you know their customers?(Starbucks? I think is one). The food business is "to my knowledge" highly competitive and margin sensitive, is pbh a good enough company to overcome its sector or do you think other stocks are better?
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Research team,
About investing in smaller cap, probably best named microcap: less than 30 or 50 millions $, or lower liquidity companies:
What would you generally consider low volume, low liquidity? How do you define it, volume as market cap %, volume as float %, absolute amount $ traded daily?
What maximum % of daily volume should an individual investor own, or not surpass?
What % of a portfolio can be dedicated to such investments based risk aversion (low, average, high)?
What is the minimum time horizon (holding period)?
During what segment of the economic cycle ou stock market cycle should we underweight and overweight?
What annual rate of return over the long term should be considered successfull?
Always under the assumption that the rest of the portfolio is well diversified and liquid.
Thank you for your collaboration, and best wishes for the new year. Eric
