Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Since your last look a year ago, AcuityAds has been impressive in growing its business and in its most recent quarter, has actually turned EBITDA positive. And now while still small, current N.A. clients with European operations are asking them to expand into Europe while term loan lenders are chipping in by voluntarily proposing to defer interim payments in support of such a move.

Looks quite promising but was wondering if you're familiar with any of the management team.

Q: I am puzzled by the market's very negative response to Firan's release of 1st Quarter 2016 results this morning. The results were nothing special - perhaps they missed earlier guidance or expectations in a meaningful way - ?

Thank you,

John

Q: Peter:

Today RDM's market cap exceeded $100 million. As a former fund manager will this bring in more institutional investors into this stock and allow it to trade higher multiples?

Q: I am considering selling Direct Cash. But before making this decision, I was wondering if you could supply the following information. What are DCI's growth prospects? Is it in a dying industry? How safe is its dividend? Also,what is its debt load?
In your opinion is it a hold or sell.

Q: Hello team,

I have a question which may turn to a suggestion. You have just released a report on this company, which is generally positive for a long-term investor. I wanted to ask what you know about the management of this company. Have you seen them? What do you think of them? How much skin do they have in the game?

And with that, what do you think of having a section on Management in your coverage report? Like who they are? what is their background, past experience, education, etc? Have you met them or not and what is your overall impression of them? I think a section of this kind would add more value to your coverage report. I don't think I am the only one who believes more often than not it is the management that makes or breaks a company. I don't want to invest in a company which you (5i) do not have a good impression of. And if you put this information in the report, members would not have to email you and ask you the same.

Thank you as always 5i.

Q: I too am curious about this company but it is hard to get my head around the idea that it is apparently profitable, has been around for 30 years and is trading at $.29 ?? Could I get your analysis-- Would you buy this stock.? Thanx Robbie

Q: Hello 5i

Could I have your thoughts on the company and the latest earnings? Seems interesting. Earnings appear to be heading in the right direction although illumination was off a bit. Seeing as the stock is trading pretty much where it was a year ago would this be a good entry opportunity as growth from acquisitions is expected to continue?
