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 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: 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: 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.
