Q: In a couple of recent (March 3 posted) questions today you have suggested in some portfolio cleanups, letting AT go and also STC with proceeds to be consolidated into CTS. However, at least to-date, the 5i Growth Portfolio is still holding both AT and STC. Can you elaborate please . Many thanks.

Q: I took the big dividend from ECN - 15k bought three 5K positions VHI (-20%) STC (-80%) & CTS (-50%) to diversify the growth portfolio in my TSFA, losing percentages are app. are these positions worth keeping? My other thought is to sell and put the money back into ECN where the management has a proven track record of managing the risk and creating value for longer term shareholders

Q: If I look at STC I see that the 52 week high is $20.36 and also that from looking at analyst ratings via TD I notice that 3 out of 3 rate it a buy with a price target of $16.17. When I see something like that it gives me a warm fuzzy that this is a good buy at this level and appears to have a lot of upside. I fully realize that there is no guarantee that just because it went that high in the past it does not mean that it will go back to that level. Having said that, it appears to have a lot of potential as I see it. You also seem to like this one.

Just to make a comparison (I know it is a different sector but that does not matter) let’s have a look at CS. This is one that 5I appears to like as well and that I am considering buying. TD has this one showing as 6 out of 6 analysts rating a it a buy but the price target is $5.83 (-3.01% downside).

Why would the price target on this one be so low and how much potential does this have in your opinion?

Q: Dear 5i team.

In a cleanup, what order would you sell these in?
Which of them are bankruptcy candidates in the foreseeable future if you had to venture an educated guess.

After watching XBC go bankrupt, these penny stocks seem destined for the same result.


Many thanks for your help.

Q: HI,
you had mentioned recently that we could be in another historic buying opportunity for growthy small caps. along those lines...
this list contains some of my small cap/more speculative holdings. could you comment on these as a current buy, sell, or hold. I am a long term investor ( 5-many years). and if any are screaming "I am going to zero" (like Xebec). and do you have high conviction on any other small cap growth stocks presently? cheers
