Q: I enjoyed your Small Cap essay. I had to get to pg4 to know which small cap indices you were using. Pg4 & beyond said MSCI, but which MSCI?

Why would you compare a Financial & resource heavy Tsx to ,say, IWO or any MSCI small cap.

You have been a long term IWO advocate. Is there a C$ ETF that would provide access to IWO stocks as VUS/VUN do For access VTI?
Also can you suggest ETFs in any currency that follow MSCI Indices?

I ask few questions, but follow with interest your daily stream. Thanks for what you do

Q: Good morning,
I just a few questions about how a company discloses drill results. Assuming they visually see something in the cores before they are sent to the lab, does the company have to disclose what they "think" they saw? This company sent in 173 samples for testing out of 1515 meters drilled. How big would a typical sample be? Last but not least, can a company disclose material news while they are trying to close a financing?
Appreciate your thoughts

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
