Q: Re WIN.... With the CAD significantly challenged against the USD how does this affect WIN. Since it reports and collects in USD but pays in CAD is this not a game changer in thinking just like a commodity play? Are not most expenses for WIN are in CAD? What currency does it hide under its bed?

Thanks

Q: I read the US has passed legislation designed to discourage patent trolls from filing law suits. Will this put further pressure on WIN. Is it time to get out even with a 40 % loss? Thanks

Q: Hi, just curious if you've heard anything about or follow Patent Properties (PPRO); Jay Walker the Priceline founder is behind the company and it seems he has his eyes focused on creating a patent licencing system to launch in the second half of 2014. The company is also earning revenues off of their existing patents (from licencing, settlements, and litigation). I understand this isn't a forum for US listed companies but any input would be appreciated. Thanks,

Q: Seems like a good time to be looking for up and comers having made good money from some of your picks this past year (AVO, BAD, CSU, ESL, MCR to name a few... Thank-you for those!), so I will ask thoughts on another VERY speculative stock - PHO (Photon Control). Again, looking for anything you can provide, especially inside ownership info if available. - Cheers.

Q: Peter and Team I have been following Flyght. FLY.v
since August and did not purchase due to concerns mentioned on the blog. Given the recent news on orders from the Chinese and other airlines can you pass along your thoughts, has your opinion changed ? Thank you


FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd. ("FLYHT") (TSX VENTURE:FLY) are pleased to announce that we have agreed to provide through Datang Mobile Aviation division, the AFIRS(TM) 228 real-time data communications and SATCOM solution complete with FLYHTStream. The system for Satcom voice and all other data services has been successfully installed on the ARJ21 and used during icing tests for the final validation of the Type Certificate for this aircraft. The ARJ21 has been under development by COMAC and certification testing by AVIC for several years and to date, has orders 415 units from Chinese airlines, customers in Pakistan and various African countries. The first customer deliveries of the aircraft are expected in late 2014.

Mr Dong, General Manager of Datang Aviation stated that, "We are very pleased to be part of the role out of this major milestone in Chinese aviation history and our work with FLYHT has been very easy to come to a mutually beneficial solution for COMAC."

The AFIRS System will be standard fit on the production aircraft and will be used for performance measurement, warranty data monitoring as well as communication with the operations groups in the airline and air traffic control as allowed by regulation. It is anticipated that all customers will activate the data services on the aircraft to take advantage of the cost savings offered by the AFIRS UpTime solution set.

Mr. Wu of AVIC stated that, "The performance of the AFIRS unit during our trials was superb and we are excited to be providing this state of the art capability to our customers as part of our standard delivery. We are also pleased that the AFIRS unit will provide an approved solution to the Satcom mandate in China."

Bill Tempany, President and CEO of FLYHT stated: "This is a major milestone for our company. We told our investors that we were working to sign new commercial OEM's to our technology and this is a little ahead of schedule, which is unusual in our industry. We are very proud to be a part of the exciting future that COMAC and AVIC have embarked upon with this inaugural commercial aircraft launch."

We currently have an order for 4 units for final test and first delivery aircraft and the value of that order including 5 years services for these units is $560,000. When all 415 units have been delivered, the total value over the next 5 years for this agreement including services will be in excess of $40,000,000 USD. Those values will be achieved if all installation occur on time and the customer uses the services anticipated.

Q: I have owned CGI Group for a long time and I am becoming concerned about the rumours of their accounting and reliablity of their stated earnings. It has been questioned by Veritas,and Deutsche Bank analysts lately and I noticed the Caisse sold a large block last week. Would you endorse a switch from CGI to Constellation Software or Enghouse?
