Q: Good day team,

I should have listened to your last comment on this dog and sold it at a smaller loss back in October but I didn't and now wonder if I too should throw in the towel like other investors following the ER yesterday.

I don't need the money but following its 17% haircut I wonder if it's waste of more time and money to hold and hope for a change in the negative momentum.

Would you kindly give us your assessment of their balance sheet and future prospects and whether the huge short on the stock is justified here.

Thanks a lot!

Q: Hi 5i,

I would be interested in your comments on XERO Technologies. Located in Victoria and developing innovative electric motor technology. General comments + I assume it is a micro-cap and I assume it is high risk and suitable for a very small part of an investment portfolio.

Thanks for the great service.

Q: I own GIB and have for several years. I'm thinking of selling some or all my position in GIB and purchasing OPTEX.
My reasoning is that although GIB may not be fully valued, its had a good run, OPTEX on the other hand may have more upside longer term.
Appreciate your feedback

Q: I am curious about the parameters of "cyclicality" when it comes to different sectors. For example, the chip stocks (including AMAT) are apparently down because of a cyclical decline across them all. In this industry, how long does such a cycle typically run? In comparison, for example, to the commodities cyclicality, which can be many years (I have heard 10-15). Your answer will help me decide whether to take a tax loss on AMAT or hold on for a year or two. Thanks!

Q: If you believe (do you?) that this correction is largely over and you wanted to put more money in the market.

At this point in time, which 6 stocks in the US and which 6 stocks in Canada to you think have the most upside with the help of the recent sell off?

Q: Hi 5i,

FTG has had 2 good quarterly releases in a row now. Your last reply to a question re FTG (Oct 9) was just before they released Q3 numbers (Oct 10) (normally a quiet quarter).
Is there anything in their Q3 results to get excited about?
It looks like their transition activities for their last acquisition(s) is finally starting to contribute nicely.
Given the caveat that it is small cap, should one continue to watch this company (in this volatile market) or could one step in for a 1/3 position over the next 30-60 days (considering tax loss seasonality) given the lows of the stock price (down 38% YTD)?
There didn't seem to be much market reaction to the Q3 numbers but that could have been due to the market volatility ....or it simply went unnoticed.

Cheers,
Steve
