Q: Enablence (ENA.V) restructured last fall; I expected tax-loss sales to follow, but shares still haven't found a floor - at a time when many semiconductor enterprises (well, excluding JDSU) are booming. But Enablence seems adequately funded, and continues to produce new components; ideas?

Q: re. Baylin Technologies (BAY-T)

Do you have and more recent thoughts or insights about this co.? The stock price has settled into a tight range a bit below the IPO. I see that there are two recent analyst reports: Raymond James has an Outperform rating with a price target of $9.00 and Paradigm Capital has a Buy rating with a target of $13.00. How much credence do you give to these reports? Do these firms have some vested interests?

Thanks for your input and advise.

Q: Hi Peter. Just curious on your thoughts on First Asset Tech Giants ETF(TXF) as a way to get exposure to tech? It holds 25 names which seem to rotate based on momentum, and it has a current yield of close to 7% based on a call writing program. Given the higher implied volatility levels in tech names it only needs to surrender 25% of the upside though. Seems lightly owned given the low trading volumes, but a good way to play US tech without picking a winner?

Q: I'm wondering if you've had a chance to look at Espial (T.ESP) yet. With the trend towards cutting traditional cable in favour of video on demand plus the advent of smart TVs, they may be very well positioned to do well.

Thanks for a most invaluable service.

Q: I am considering buying 2 smaller companies--Input Financial (INP on venture)and Sandvine (SVC). I did a search on previous answers and found them most useful.
However I also use technicals and find that both right now have some extreme readings which normally would indicated they are trading at an unsustainable high.
Is it a reasonable time to take a position, given caveats (especial on Input Financial) which you mentioned in your early January answers?
