Investment Q&A

Q: re VXS

Have been watching VIXS Systems for the past 3 months since it was recommended on Market Call and was awarded the LG contract for their smart TV for which VXS has the best chip set for the next generation technology.

Since then, it has seen a steady decline (just under 45% since Jan 23) and as of today has seen it's first upswing in some time.

Can you give us any updates on the company that you see relevant at this time?

Thank You Peter & Company

Q: could i please have your opinion of SPM for a trade. it is down 35% in last 2 weeks.thanks for a great service.

Q: Hello Peter....About the Prometic conference call, I was surprised there were no questions about the internalization/desire to do more in-house development. But then again, this was a first for me, listening in on the live audio presentation. Next time, I might muster up a voice to answer a question. I take it Bay Street analysts are okay with this new/emerging direction. The company stock is up, gaining well while the overall TSX is down across many sectors. The other observation is about forward looking information - it was marginal at best.But I got a chuckle when the CFO commented that quarterly numbers can be "lumpy". Bottom line - I'll kept by few shares in Prometic, while expecting a home run of a gain....Just had to share my take with you, following a Q&A on 5iR last evening. Now onto listening to your webinar at 1 pm today...Tom M

Q: Peter,

Any new thoughts on GWR's Q4 results? They initiated a dividend this week with a 5.8% yield, partially supported by a legal settlement.

Thanks,

Q: Am I missing some thing on WEQ. I see that the earnings est. have gone down in the last 30 days. I am down 10% this always makes me look at the investment. I still see up side but ? I am at 60% of what I intended. What do you think about the stock over all and do you think it is a buy, sell or hold.
Thank you for your help

Q: I have held intrinsic ics.to for many years. It had large volume yesterday and a pop in the stock price. Just wondered if you ever followed this stock and any reason for the action? Thanks Clare

Q: 5i Team,

I own a half position in Wanted Technologies (WAN-X). Curious for your opinion on today's news about switching from a sales intermediary to more direct sales. They state this will be a drag on earnings in the short term, and clearly the market is reacting, down over 12% today. Personally, I am more concerned about management’s comments relating to competitors mimicking their service, and their competitive position moving forward:

“Historically, the majority of WANTED's revenues has been derived from its direct sales channel. Since 2010, however, the Company has licensed portions of its proprietary big data asset to resale partners, some of which have incorporated WANTED's data into their own products. As the market for human capital analytics has heated up, features in some of the products incorporating WANTED's data have begun to conflict with WANTED's own products.”

What are your thoughts of the company moving forward? I purchased a half position with the intent of adding the other half at some point, would this make a good entry point to do so? Should I wait? Or should I sell my current half position? (Portfolio is balanced on sectors and market caps with 5i names, generally a risk on investor) Thank you for your input.

Ray

Q: HI,

What do you think of WAN's loss of customer? Should I bail or hold on. Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,

Could I get your updated views on GXI? I know the 4th quarter came in weaker than expected, but i'm tying to look past it and see a number of catalysts for 2014. Would you agree? What do you think of the valuation / upside potential in an investmnet in GXI?

Q: Hi Peter, what do you think of VIC's earnings? Should I hold or sell?

Thank you

Q: Could you please advise if you have any updated comments on Urthecast Corp [UR], further to what you have provided on the 5i site.

Thanks

Q: Please update Newstrike Capital NES. Thank you!

Q: hi 5i, my question has to do with CZN - Canadian Zinc but at the same time insider trading. according to INK, on Mar 24 the CEO J F Kearney did some fairly sizeable insider trading. can you explain what transpired yesterday. and also how should a current shareholder view this type of action as it pertains to investing in general. also maybe in the future devote a section of your services on how to read insider trading. thanx norm

Q: SYD. Synodon has had a significant move recently. It represents a small (< 1%) position in my portfolio. Can you explain the recent rise on high volumes. Should I cash in my 100%+ gain and run, or wait because something is developing here.

Q: Could i get your updated view on FLY? Would you buy a speculative position in the Company? Do you think it's overvalued relative to its growth potential + patent / partnerships?

Q: Hi 5i team,

I currently hold Cipher, but was thinking about switching into Biosyent. Although Biosyent has a lower market cap, it also has more diversification in its operations and better stock momentum. What are your thoughts on this switch?

Thanks as always,

Q: peter - A few months ago I took a small position in Neulion(nln) and recently noted that their results for the last quarter were very good. My investment small as it was is up 63% What do you think of this company. Would they be a likely company to partner with Rogers when they make a decison in this area ie enablement of on-line content for internet connected devices? If so, I might consider adding some more shares. thanks for this great service.

Q: I've been watching MBC (MBAC fertilizer) slowly decline for the last 6 months till it fell 10% today. I realize the sector is out of favour but is there something i"m not seeing.

Your opinion please?

Q: Smartcool[SSC- tsxv] Noted another revenue target identified on Mar.19th which adds to a considerable expansion of distribution centers & direct sales. Products save 15-20% on kilowatt hour usage translating to reduced heating/cooling costs.Given business' focus on cutting power costs is it time to buy in as part of a higher risk segment of a portfolio?
