Q: May I please get your thoughts on Smith Micro Software Inc (SMSI)? Recently reported results that the market reacted very positively to. Should I wait for the dust to settle a bit or do these results lend credence to starting a small speculative position (0.5-1%) for the high risk allocation of my portfolio at current price levels?

Q: I'm down 23% on this one. I don't want to take a loss and am willing to hold long term. Do you thing that's the right decision. Do you think management is reasonably solid. Is raising the dividend prudent given that they had a rough quarter. looks like this is a last gesture that the CEO put out as he rides into the sunset.

Q: How do you feel about Activision-Blizzard's future over the next 3-5 years? They seem to have been relatively quiet the past little while and their stock seems to have steadied the past 6-ish months. But they've got a very respectable line-up of franchises that are due for some big releases (Warcraft, Diablo, Overwatch, etc.) and a huge fan base. Plus the vague rumours of possibly something with Disney. Is now a good time to enter for a minimum 3-5+ year hold? Thank you!
