Q: Another major European cable operator (today) signs up for Espial's solution to stemming the tide of "cutting the cord". With the recent addition of a high-profile VP of marketing and development as well, 2015 could turn out to be ESP's real breakout year. Comments?

Q: I'm up over 300%. It was a very conservative buy in the first place, so even with gain, it is a reasonable position in my portfolio. I read a report this weekend that they may not be completely forthcoming with their income statement, that Net Operating Profit in Q1 2015 was listed as $1.572 million, but the fine print indicated that this figure excluded the amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, the gain or loss on derivative financial liability, interest expense, and income tax expense. With the inclusion of these expenses, Q1 would present quite differently. Is this an ethical presentation, and should I be concerned with holding this stock? How does the balance sheet look? Because of my small position, I had planned on holding for a couple of years and riding out the volatility, but of course it's a shame to lose the gain if they are not presenting the true picture, and the stock is weaker than it appears. Your opinion please. Thank-you.

Q: Hello,

Can you please give me your latest thoughts on purchasing this company for on-going dividend income safety and continuing growth (both captial gains and dividend).Do they have a healthy balance sheet?

Also can you give me your insights on their latest record quarterly results (March 2015). Technically it appears to be breaking out and heading to $6.

Thanks once again for the unique and timely service provided by the entire 5i team!

Q: Hi team! I've been following this stock for some time and recently jumped into this one at $0.20 after news of their decent upcoming fourth quarter revenue announcement (to be released in April/May). Overall they seem to present well and I am impressed with their business model. Seems they are getting more headlines as of late especially with MTV.

Although this is a speculative play, what is your opinion of this company and it's future?

Q: A guest on BNN recently said he was shorting MCR and thinks it goes to zero. This has got me concerned as I'm down 70% and had planned to wait out the oil recovery. My question is do you also think it goes to zero or do you think it will survive at this point? Could it be an aquisition target? I seem to have a problem knowing when to sell. Any advice or articles on when to sell a stock would be appreciated. Thank you for your service.

Q: Hi There - I'm up 46% on CMH in the past couple of months. Has it got ahead of itself at a PE of over 100? Should I take the profits?

Thx very much.

Q: My apologies, as I tried to send an email from my phone earlier today, and had problems with service, and phone.
I thought I had completed my dudiligence on syz, and seemed like a great buy coupled with insider buying. Technicals indicate oversold, as well as RSI is low.
Markets were not good today, however what is wrong here, and should I be selling to average my loss.
Thanks for the great service

Q: Could you update Midway (MDW) just starting production and grade is lower than modelled, may have a short term financial issue. Is the big drop from .90 to .39 a falling knife or a buying opportunity. Your comments on management and I can't seem to find their expected all in cost.
Thanks and I'll be signing up for another year, great service you provide.

Q: Could you comment on Pivot. They say they will initiate a 3 cents dividend in September and will convert the pref shares. At 30 cents , its a 10% dividend for a growing company.

Their last earning a few months ago showed a 10% increase in profit and they maintained 11% margins.
