Q: Hi 5i Team - Should DCM's recent and steady decline be of concern and is its balance sheet in decent shape. Also is this a growth stock or more of a value stock. Some time ago it did an acquisition which had an immediate and continuing positive effect on the stock price but the enthusiasm seems to be fading. Do you expect there will more acquisitions in the coming months/years. Also is insider ownership fairly substantial and is it growing or declining. Thanks.

Q: Dear 5i team.

Just finished reading the past few mths questions on APPS. Obviously, you've thrown in the towel on it.

Do you see a scenerio where they go bankrupt? IE: equity going to zero? You said it's debt/cash flow is 4Xs. Terminal, or does mgmt have a shot at redemption?

Appreciate your updated views on their fundimentals.

Q: Closed at 2.33 yesterday, then shortly after the company releases a prelim for Q3 of better than expected results than previously announced. They gave numbers that told an obvious story of improvement in all aspects. I consider this a load up scenario. I know your position is generally conservative but in this case isn't this a rare opportunity to buy in cheap with them giving you a glimpse of what is to come.

Q: For some time 5i (and others) have noted that small cap valuations are low on a historic basis, and I also believe that you have commented that small caps often lead in a market turnaround? I really like a good "reversion to the mean" play, but what are the conditions for that to happen? I have to think inflation and higher interest rates are disproportionate headwinds for smaller companies vs large caps. What should one look for before buying a small cap ETF, or just forget the timing and figure you'll be happy in a few years one way or another? Thanks for your thoughts.

Q: A little while ago a member asked about gold and these 3 companies were mentioned by you as potential to purchase. Comparing the 3, it seems that BTO is quite a bit more attractive....a good yield at 5 % (AGI is less than 1% and KRR is nil); BTO has about 1/2 the P / E and somewhat better P / B. Can you elaborate why the other 2 could be considered over BTO . Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,

Krr may have reported recently? What is your take on their progress? It seems that share count has gone up and margins worsened over the period. Revenue seems to be growing but earnings seem to be getting worse. Or is the company's more positive spin a better reflection of KRR's prospects? What are their all in costs of production. Is this improving? Is the management inexperienced? Hold or Sell?
TIA
