Q: Hi all,

Wondering what your take is on Energous Corp if you have followed it much? I know they are still small and risky but the potential of the product seems to be pretty big. It has been on a rally of late and if you look at footnote 2 in small green writing at the bottom of the following link it appears as though Q1 performance shares have been granted: http://stkw.it/y3tS

Appreciate your insight, thanks.

Q: Hi 5i:
Your last comment on Endo (ENL, ENDP.US) was Feb 29th and at that point you thought that it was unduly beaten down by the market given the company’s recent performance and outlook. That was when it was over $40 US. Now that it is under $30 US, what do you make of it? Is it worth continuing to hold or have fundamentals deteriorated to the point where alternative holdings in the same space look much better? How does it stack up on a comparison with CXR? Thanks!

Q: Hi Team
I am well diversified and have about 17% in US Stocks. I have a bit of US cash and would like to purchase a non US unhedged (if you think best) ETF with a lowish MER. I will hold in my RRIF. Of course I would like growth and am not chasing dividends on this. I would hold for 2 to 5 years. VXUS or ????. Thanks guys for all you do.

Q: I last wrote to you about OZM.us on October 1 2014. After reviewing your input, I held on to my shares. Unfortunately, OZM is down another 60% since that date. I would be thankful for your comment on OZM’s prospects. I cannot use the tax loss. Nevertheless is it better to sell and move on? OZM.us looks like great value. But then many companies do, just before heading into bankruptcy.

Q: Hey folks. I'm looking to buy AFAM, but the 1 year chart looks lousy and the stock peaked about a year ago. Can you tell me the reason for the steady fall? Any insider trading going on? What is the short interest? Finally, what do you think of the company's financials and prospects? Thanks for all your help.

Q: Hi Peter and 5iResearch team,
I bought this company a year ago, as I believe the need for hip and knee replacements will continue to rise. I was also in an Alberta hospital recently and realized that the beds in the recovery room were also Stryker. Has had a good run, do you still like it for long-term hold or is valuation to high and ready for pullback. Thank you. Linda

Q: I know that you generally do not cover US stocks but I would appreciate any thoughts you might have on Fly. It is down approximately 12% over the past year. The yield is 7.72% and I wonder how safe you felt was and is it sustainable. I also see that there is a class action on going with this stock. Any other info would be greatly appreciated.

Q: Hello 5i, last fall you were not "overly worried" about the dividend but on February 8 you said cash flow is not covering the dividend. When I look at ratios on GlobeInvestor-Gold the cash flow has not covered the dividend since 2011. How have they been paying all this time and has anything really changed? Thank you
