Q: May I have your opinion of this company?

I'm looking at this as a turnaround play. Stock has been absolutely hammered; but there appears tremendous upside and value here. They were on the brink of bankruptcy due to leverage, and have since recapitalized. They have a cash flow positive assets in Nicaragua as well... Is this a value trap? or a bet worth taking for a patient investor with guts?

Not to encourage groupthink but I've searched the company profile on Morningstar.ca and discovered that this company is a top position in a mutual fund called Pender Small Cap Opportunities.

I'd appreciate your thoughts on this. I understand that these kind of bets can be volatile.

P.S: I own most of your growth portfolio and am comfortable within the small cap realm of investing, with a time frame over 20 years. Great work on the small cap special report. Keep it up.

Q: Good Afternoon,
I read your recent report on TNC, the company sounds interesting but I'm not sure I really understand what it is they do? Don't most of us use online banking. I can access my online banking via home, the office or my cell phone to make my bill payments to the phone company, utilities etc.. I'm not sure why I would access one of their kiosks in a retail location to pay my utility bill? I must be missing something here?
Thank-you

Q: I agree that it is a great business but I would appreciate more details on the valuation metrics you look at to evaluate the company. You mention that it is cheap but I see it at 24 times LTM earnings of 6.57 per share. I find that to be on the high end of it's historical range. Maybe I am missing something here ? Is there a better metric to look at ? Thank you!!

Q: Could you give your out look on the company's balance sheet (short term/ long term debt and cash) and revenue growth going forward. I am holding this for the upgrade cycle which many analysts think will either start in Q1 or Q2 of 2016 and continue going forward. I see no other alternative if the rail industry still wishes to move crude and dangerous materials through areas of high concern. I see $1.80 as the holding point and if it breaks would you see $1.00? Thank you for your help. Jason

Q: Hi Team,
Thoughts on dsg because I am debating adding to my position. However, could you recommend some companies with a strong balance sheet, preferably with low to no debt and that show a history of good use of capital. Are there any lesser followed/known companies that fits this criteria?
You guys still do an amazing job!
