Q: Was looking at the financials for this company. They appear to have had a very strong Q3 with revenue increasing 78% year over year based on management's strategy to focus more on water treatment services rather than sales of recovered minerals. However, there are only 1.2M shares outstanding with insiders owning approximately half. Further, the Company is continuing to buy back stock in spite of the already low float. Do you think they are possibly setting up for a "go private" transaction? Otherwise, why would they do this? Do you see value in investing in this company?

Thank you for your service to investors

Q: Can you give your updated thoughts on Caldwell Partners? In their recent ER the mgmt made comments that growth in this current quarter was getting strong again. If growth is in fact returning, not sure for how long since the revs are lumpy and highly tied to the economy. But if growth returns, does the company look like a decent higher risk microcap buy otherwise? Thx

Q: I have had GSY in my TFSA for a number of years and am pleased with the performance. For this year’s TFSA contribution I am torn between adding to GSY or starting a new position in PRL. I’m concerned about PRL’s steep runup recently and the potential for a sharp decline once I buy (of course!). I actually don’t mind a short term decline as I am intending this as a longterm hold but I do have concerns about catching the PRL wave as it crests. Given the metrics between these two and the current buy price, what are your thoughts on these two - GSY for it’s stellar track record or PRL for outperformance in growth. Thanks for your thoughts!

Q: Hi 5i,
It looks like Prysmian (from Italy) has made an offer to acquire Encore Wire @ $290.00/share. Encore has 35 days to shop around for other proposals. It also looks like there may be a lawsuit against the Board for failing to conduct a fair process.

What would be your recommendation at this point in the process? Sell or hold?

I was really hoping that this would be a long term hold.

If one were to sell what would be another similar company that you would recommend for a long term hold? Something in the "electrification" and renewables would be preferred.

I already own HPS, PWR, NXT which I suppose I could add to but I may have to trim HPS due to its run up.

How do you feel about MYR Group or Sterling Infrastructure?

Thanks!
