Q: Can I get your comments on CWL after their Q1 results. They looked weak and the stock got hit, but management seem to be saying there were extra costs in the quarter. What do you think about continuing to hold the stock, and how does the dividend look? 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

Q: Hi
Just wondering your latest thoughts on slyce. They've announced some deals lately but seem to have cash flow issues. Still waiting to see if there will be any uptake on short form prospectus which is overdue. Im in at 17 cents But wondering if I should hold or get out and into something like DBO? Thanks so much.

Q: What are your updated thoughts on this one?
Q: Hi Peter and team,
I'm looking at gaining specific exposure to four new "industries" with promise, Driverless car technology, Drone technology, vape industry and the marijuana business (Canada). Although all are in their early stages, I would like to acquire quality positions for the long term. I realize there is significant risk at the early stage and would be interested in owning the best part of each industry, i.e. technology, rights, patents etc. I'm very interested in how you would approach this question.

Q: Symbility has made many announcements over the past year or two which sound positive but the stock price bounces around mostly with a gradual downtrend.

Q: What is your opinion on Park Lawn Corp, a cemetery and funeral home operator that is growing by acquisition?
I currently hold a 2.0% weighting of this company in my portfolio. Considering that this is a small company and that I am a risk tolerant investor, does this weighting seem appropriate. In light of a recent acquisition in Michigan, I have been considering bumping it up to 3-4%.
Thanks.

Q: With the current market conditions in energy, is CFL positioned for growth in 2016? At their current price the dividend is ~10%, but they have lost over 50% on their price in a very short time. Are they a prospective long term growth, or likely to fail if the energy sector continues to hurt.
Q: Good morning Peter and Team,
Is the thesis for PUR still there? How much of their revenue come from oil and gas compared to municipal? It has been beaten down to 1% of my portfolio so do you recommend I top up to a reasonable weighting or let it go? Thanks,
Wes

Q: I originally posted this in the markets forum but did not get any response. Perhaps it was inappropriate for that forum? Anyway I thought I would pose it as an official question.
I am trying to set up a little environmentally friendly “GREEN” investment portfolio. I would like to have ten Canadian (or traded on the Canadian markets) publicly traded stocks, I would like to avoid the power generators wind, solar and hydro and focus more on cleaning up the environment.
For example something like water purification or a bicycle manufacture would qualify.
I am having trouble identifying qualified companies. Either they are not available or my research methods are not effective.
So far I have identified the following four companies. And even then two are closely linked to oil production and are pretty shaky right now.
1. Questor (QST)
2. Newalta (NAL)
3. Lumenpulse(LMP)
4. Vitreous Glass (VCI)
I wonder if you can suggest additional companies or might have some tips to improve my research.

Q: Hello 5i!
Down 80% on LSI, should I hold or trade for better stock in the same sector? Please suggest 2 or 3 more stocks as required. I already have BAD. I am a long term investor, well diversified portfolio, and can handle risk.
Thanks!
