Q: Hi 5i,

I know I asked you a few months about Easy Home (EH-T), but was hoping to get an update as to your views given the recent pull back. I'm thinking of investing in either EH or NFI. Which do you think has the most upside? NFI's yield appears to be more attractive, but I am looking for an opportunity with the highest capital appreciation upside. Thanks!

Q: Not a question, but a comment: regarding YAK, it is a company run by Harris Kupperman and Jordan Calonego, who have experience running a hedge fund (Praetorian) and several small businesses (self storage, construction, etc.), respectively. As far as I know, they take no salary, have no stock options, and instead simply hold ownership of the shares to align their interests with shareholders. There was a strange lockup period with the shares for quite some time, and selling was extremely restricted.

The Mongolia Growth Group website has all their monthly reports and updates, and Harris runs a website adventuresincapitalism.com, which has some pretty interesting commentary from time to time. I believe there was a presentation on YAK at the Las Vegas Value Investors Conference.

I don't own any shares, but have been keeping an eye on the company for a while. I like the Mongolia thesis, but view an investment as being at the top end of the risk spectrum since frontier market governments can nationalize assets at any time.
Feel free to post this if you feel it adds value to other subscribers.

Q: Hi Peter,

Any thoughts on the news regarding BEK.B retaining PWC for the possible sale of the company? I know this has happened in the past with no success, do you think market conditions are better now for the sale?

Also, is there any additional news other than the press release that you may have access to that we don't?

Thanks

Alex
