Just getting into production have some good properties, Brazil needs fertilizer,good location, even a possibility of Rare earth production. I don't mind waiting for a sector change.

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?

Q: Data Group's year-end results report substantial impairment charges against what look like not-so-bad revenues; supposing the write-down is a one-time charge, does this justify the recent price appreciation? Or is DGI still too ham-strung by its legacy business units? Even Yellow Pages came back from the dead.

Q: Last fall you felt NPK was dead money, however they recently announced government funding assistance to get their Brazilian Potash mine into development. They are close to a major farming area where most of the potash must currently be imported. Since the funding announcement the stock price has taken pretty wild swings. What would your current outlook for this company be?

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and 5i: I am looking at including a selection of convertible debentures in a reasonably diversified RESP that will likely not be used for education funding until at least 2022. I'd like to get the principal back, eventually, and to collect a decent interest rate within the tax-deferred RESP. I am more interested in using them to offset common equity risk from the stocks' side of the portfolio and less interested in their potential upside from the convertability aspect. Converts that seem unlikely to be converted sometimes appear to offer a decent deal on the yield side. But of course I don't want to enter any situations where there is a substantial chance of default by the issuer. With all that in mind, could you please give me your comments on Firm Capital's FC.DB.D? Thanks very much!

Q: Espial (T.ESP) turned the corner to profitability with its latest results in February and are now rubbing shoulders with, or supplying some of the majors in the IP video and Smart TV sectors.

Given the real and immediate threat to cable companies by outfits like Netflix, this area seem very promising for some competent players.

Given the Q4 results, have Espial's future prospects moved up meaningfully in your estimation?

Thanks!

Q: I own 5000 shares of Dragon Wave (DWI). Do you see any upside in this company? I know they were in the high teens at one point. Will they ever recover or be bought out. They seem to have good technology but lots of debt.
