Q: re: SPY Sprylogics International Corp


took a small position in March after a Market Call guest with a history of finding small cap winners recommended it.

It's down over 50% since. I fully realized it was risky which is the reason for the small position.

What would you recommend moving forward? Any chance this company shuts it's doors?

Thanks for all you do

Gord

Q: Good morning,

My question is about People Corp on the venture(PEO.V). They are 'engaged in the delivery of employee group benefit consulting, pension consulting and third-party benefits administration services, as well as, recruiting services, strategic human resources consulting and career management services.'
Market cap is over 100 millions. Revenue and earnings seem to been growing. They are doing some aquisitions. Debt to equity is at a 0.5 ratio. Also, the CEO just bought 100 000 shares on the public market @ 2.40 $.
The bigger player in that area is , from what I understand, Morneau Shepell. ( what do you think of MS ? seems like a great and steady growing company ? ).
I would like to have your opinion on People corp on the long term. Do you know management ? Thats one of the info I'm missing to make a decision. I really feel this could grow in a great company like MS and I aiming for long term results. I know there is risk, but from what I see it's already a profitable, well run company .

Also, 4,815,050 shares bought in a financing at $2.15 become free trading on August,24,. Given the current price, would you wait to start a position ?

Thank you very much and sorry for my english

Q: TOS: you were pretty negative about TOS yesterday. Today Canaccord was positive about the company - not hard as it moved up 35%. Does the latest company report change your mind?

TSO3* (TOS : TSX : $0.97), Net Change: 0.25, % Change: 34.72%, Volume: 509,859
It’s the Final Countdown! TSO3 reported second-quarter results, with revenues growing to $132,179, as compared to $37,255
in the second quarter in 2013. EPS for the quarter came in at a loss of $0.02, in line with consensus estimates. The innovator in
low temperature sterilization technology for medical devices, said the higher sales in 2014 reflect a higher utilization by the
users of the installed base of sterilizers leading to increased sales of consumables, as well as an increase in maintenance and
compatibility testing services. Canaccord Genuity Sustainability Analyst Sara Elford notes that the results were in line with her
estimates and the core tenets of her investment thesis remain as follows: (1) technology platform is game-changing and
applicable across multiple products and end-markets; (2) business model is excellent (very healthy, high-margin recurring
revenue from captive consumable sales based on the in-use installed base); (3) cash balance is sufficient to fund current burn
rate past Q3/15; (4) her confidence in U.S. clearance in 2014 remains very high (5) in her view TSO3 should be an acquisition
target in due course following a successful FDA outcome. In mid-July, TSO3 received an Additional Information Request from
the Agency with respect to its May 2, 2014 submission. Management is very pleased with the bilateral communications so far
and expects to have everything back into the FDA in its final form within a month or two. Elford believes that U.S. clearance
could be a 2014 event, representing an important catalyst for the company.

Q: Could you please give your opinion on Second Cup (SCU). Today they cut their dividend and announced that they will invest in re-inventing their stores. Given the large sell-off this morning, do you think it's a good entry point for this stock, or would you stay away?

Thanks

Thanks

Q: Re Elkwater Resources ELW -X. Your thoughts regarding the Rights Offering that was announced today.
Is this viable incentive to invest in this speculative venture? Thanks for your excellent guidance.

Q: I own NA Palladium PDL or PAL.US. I am very nervous about this company. I have heard rumours of bankruptcy. I tried calling the company but no-one would answer the phone.

Thanks.

Q: Do you have any opinion on the venture oil company Quattro Exploration and Production on the the Venture Exchange (QXP.V)? I look forward to your response.

Q: Team,

Looking for a general updated opinion on WAN.

More specifically, I have a half position in my TFSA as part of my more speculative portion of a balanced portfolio. I am down nearly 30% (not really worried / stressed, I know this is a risk / reward company). I'm thinking of selling my half position in LSI at a small gain and averaging down on WAN. Recognizing that they are in different industries, are you ok with this switch for small cap exposure? I want something with "pop" potential as I already have full positions in other more stable 5i growth names (DHX, AYA, SYZ, FSV, AVO etc).

As always - thank you.

Q: Esn
Buy, sell or hold? Many thanks!
