Q: With less air travel for resource extraction, Discovery Air's share price has plummeted. However, Clairvest owns over 81% of common shares; they must see something there. But how is one to assess a publicly-traded company in which one party owns so much equity as to be able to make any change they want?

Q: Hi 5i Research team , I am preparing for my next round of investments when the market decline broadly. I would like to capture the illiquidity premium: What percentage of a stock portfolio would you recommend for an average investor (1) and a lower risk aversion investor(2) to put in illiquid stocks (market cap between 1000 and 100 million $ and average daily trading value < 200 000$) such as VLN, TCS, TC, SCB, RX, RPI-u, PSD, PEO, MRD, MDF, LNF, LGT.B, LAS.A, ISV, HNZ, GDL, EFH, GBT, CXI, BCI, AF?
What would be your top five selections among these from total return/quality perspective over the long term? Would you have other such companies to suggest? Several of these companies do not have coverage from analysts neither conference call after quarterly results. Besides reading documents on sedar (press releases), how do you suggest following/analyzing those companies? Thank you, Eric

Q: Hello 5i team,
I have been following Pure for awhile and have been tempted. What causes hesitation is the size. you mentionned in one of the comments that there are some companies that a relatively conservative, retired investor should not own, as they are too risky. I make more than I need to live and so I am not adverse to a little risk. But, I was wondering how you see a company like Pure under this perspective? It would be great to have your comments on that subject in general, if you have time.
thanks

Q: Have you any insights into this company? The board looks impressive and the stock has been strong lately.
I assume they are not profitable and in early stages.
Anything more than pure spec?

Q: Hi,
I've been holding MCR for quite awhile and am now at a 75% unrealized loss. Is there hope for this one if I continue to hold indefinitely? Or should I cut my losses.
It's a small position and I have a balanced portfolio.
Thanks,
Robert

Q: Good morning guys,
This is the 3rd time I am asking the same question since last Thursday. Would you please let me know if it is worth holding on to this company. I have gone from 11K to 2 k but I don't want to go to zero although I don't need the money for another 5-10 years. What is the best option here...just let go or hang on? My only reason for staying this long hasn't really worked but would it work if I just look the other way for another 5 years. Hope you get this question and get a chance to answer me. The stock is down another 3.5% today. Thank you!

Q: COMMENT ON THIS COMPANY?
Q: I like the price chart for Brick Brewing (as well as their products :). Their stock took a 6% hit today on medium volume - can you tell me why?
Looking at their price chart for the last 6 months I see a lot of similar "down" days, which are usually followed by a quick recovery within a few days. What is going on here?
The stock has had a nice runup over the last 12 months - up about 80% at present. Do you see this stock as a Buy, Sell, or Hold, and over what timeframe?
Thank you!
