Q: Hello Team
FLY is a mystery to me. They put a couple of airline heavyweights on their board, they have patented technology, they have been certified to install the technology with a couple of large aircraft manufacturers and yet the only news they have is about a debenture extension. What gives ?
I think something is amiss. I don't believe Rob McWhirter is holding them any more. He didn't have much to say on BNN last time.
Can the 5I team shed any light on this company

Thank You for your help

Q: Good Morning,

Solium Capital has dropped into undervalued territory (according to the Royal Bank). It is a technology company, has a lower Beta, derives its revenue from recurring software licensing fees, has a global presence - Canada, U.S., Europe, Australia - has positioned itself for continuing growth, and has a great management team which has a track record of successfully growing businesses from scratch and then selling them. My question - will Solium be a likely takeout candidate in the coming quarters?

Q: Hello,

Peter touched on Pinetree Capital in response to a BNN Market Call question yesterday I believe. Peter mentioned a management change, is there a source with more details on this change? I have looked at PNP in the past but stayed far away as it holds some companies I short, Sphere 3D and Overland Storage (if I was smart I would have shorted PNP). I thought response yesterday of holding PNP as a play on recovery in juniors warrants looking into further and watching how PNP plays out going forward.

Q: With John O'Connell from Davis Rea joining Elkwater's Board at their annual meeting on Feb. 19, and bringing 70 million shares, insiders will own 25% of the stock according to the recently mailed circular. They are consolidating the shares and changing the name to Striker Exploration, for some reason.
The stock has been under pressure - small oil play in a lousy market - but I am wondering if sellers are anticipating a financing and selling out to participate and obtain warrants.
The Board is very strong and experienced which gives confidence to shareholders.
My question is do you see any value here for a 3 year time horizon and is there a large short position?
Thanks.

Q: Would you buy these stocks for a 5 year hold in a TFSA? Or is it still too risky? Wait for oil to stabilize?
Thank you

Q: Good day!
What can you tell us about NYX? The stock price seems to be going straight up. Does this look like an investment opportunity? Would this be a good time to buy? Is this a potential company for a take over?
Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i
Down 50 to 75 % on these guys. They were less than 10% now around 6% of portfolio. I held on thinking they might recover more than any other place I could put the money. Your opinion please buy , sell, or hold.
I did just buy some Vermillion in the sector.
Tks Stan

Q: Good Morning, I am looking for a Tech stock that has both a dividend and potential for growth. I was looking at C-Com and at first glance it seems to meet my criteria. Could I have your opinion on this stock. If you have any other suggestions I would appreciate your recommendations. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Q: It's February (almost anyways) so it is time for my annual question on Aquila. May I have your comments on the latest press release? They seem to be selling stock in order to raise money. I presume management owns a sizeable chunk of stock. I understand the risks - I only have a very small weighting but am considering buying a little more - it would still be a very small weighting. The press release appears positive to me assuming they close the deal. Should I buy now or wait for the deal to close? On the negative side I find it hard to believe they have a mine with Hudbay dropping them but maybe that is just the way it goes in the mining business.
Thank you
