Q: NLN seems to be breaking above a trading range that has existed since the spring. Technically the stock looks fine to buy but have fundamentals changed sufficently that you are more comfortable with it?

Q: Hi there,
I have been following this stock for a bit but am struggling to figure out what is unique about their offering versus all the other payment processors out there. Can you provide some insight. Revenues are certainly growing but this seems to be a crowded field these days - what is their competitive advantage that would interest a long term investor?
Thanks and Happy New Year

Q: Adding up a comment to Lionel's question on Tucows dec-24. Tucows trade a fair volume on nasdaq TCX. They have initiated several dutch auctions in the last few years. In addition to their internet domaines activities They are the owner of a growing mobile telephony service in USA : TING. I think that it is where the marbles are.
Happy New Year.

Q: Hi 5i team,
I would like to have your thoughts on ZCL, and an estimation of what would be your rating. Balance sheet is clean (no leverage, little other items on the asset side). Dividend is growing. Past management problems integrating acquisition seems no longer an issue. Insiders bought shares in late November. On the minus side: revenue growth has been variable, profit margins are close to their historical high, exposure to the oil industry.
Has ZCL stock price been hit too hard recently? What P/E multiple or P/CF should it trade at in the current environment? What could be a future catalyst (developing new geographical markets, acquisition)? Where would you classify ZCL: industrial or energy? Should it be a long term investment or a cyclical investment based on the economy? What is your view on this industry, and the position of ZCL in it?
Thank you for your help, Eric

Q: Hi Peter & 5i Team,
On Market Call on Dec 24, Jason Donville of DKAM seemed to be negative on RC. Do you agree with his views. I currently have a 2 % position with a gain of 10%. Would you advise me to sell. If so, which small cap stock (non energy/tech) would you recommend to buy to replace it.
Thanks in advance
Francis

Q: Spiked in mid Nov. off of news but, has fallen back since. Your opinion for future value and prospects?
Thanks
Thanks
Q: I'm tempted to buy into this stock. I like the way its chart looks, and it seems to have weathered this last 2 or 3 months of market volatility reasonably well. However, I hesitate because it is such a low volume trader, and I wonder how sustainable is its market plan - does domain name franchising have future momentum. I read the rules affecting domain names
has changed this past year. Possibly this why TC has done so well, And do you know the management? Has management ever talked about branching out?
Just want thank you all for your invaluable service and to wish all staff and families the best in the new year.

Q: Hi 5i,
What am I missing on SYZ? I can't figure out why it is not trading dramatically higher.
Please help me if I am wrong on my assumptions but based on my calculations, starting with the already completed and soon to be reported q4, both revenues and profits over the next year should come very close to tripling from the trailing 12 months. This is based on the disclosure in their last report which stated that the last acquisition if reported pro-rata would have added $28mm and $11mm in top and bottom lines respectively over the trailing 12 months.
Based on this, I can't figure out why the share price is not much, much higher; notwithstanding the gain ytd.
What am i calculating wrong here?
Thanks,
J.

Q: 5-year 7%-coupon debentures from GuestLogix started trading yesterday (GXI.DB). Already they have fallen to nearly 90 cents on the dollar, giving a yield to maturity of roughly 9.5%. Do you think that the risk associated with the creditworthiness of GXI is adequately compensated at 9.5% (+ the chance of much higher gains if the stock moves up significantly in the next 5 years) ? Thanks!
Q: Thanks for great advice!
Please comment on CKI (Clarke) I have read your previous commnents and would like to know what you think of this as an investment compan y... the numbers look too good, but it is so thinly traded.... having read the financial statements, do you trust the management and the veracity of reporting? why is it not traded more heavily? would putting 1000 shares into be too great a risk?
Thanks

Q: What's your thoughts on PHM.v? Revenue growth has been explosive this year and they just issued another LOI to acquire a company with 8 million in revenue. Roll-ups can't go on forever and this pace is not sustainable without profits.
Q: Hi Peter & 5i: Can you please give me your current assessment of Calian? I do not own it now but I have in the past. They seem to fly under the radar mostly. I know they are a very low volume trader, have a very small float, small market cap, and they have some history of share buybacks. I also know that they are substantially dependent on government contracts. With the shares under $18 and the dividend over 6% again, I am thinking about buying a small position but I am wondering if there is anything of particular concern on their horizon, apart from their 'regular concerns' that is. Thanks very much and the Best of the Season to all at 5i!
