Q: Sylogist has been buying back shares in the market. I really don't see a big benefit in this seeing how the stock is already so illiquid, and we are already so late in a cycle. Is it really that hard to spend some of the 30million cash on something accretive where it is more beneficial to be buying back shares? Has the company stated in a conference call what they plan on doing with the cash and if they are looking to deploy it soon?
Thanks.

Q: Hi, I am wondering why you removed syz from your income portfolio (I believe that is where it was if I remember). It looks like today we had a bit of a break out and is making new highs. The stock doesn't seem to do anything on the flashy side on any given day, but seems to be chugging upwards with a decent dividend. Please advise on your current view and todays move through the prior highs. Could it be investors seeing potential and moving into the name after earnings? Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter and 5i team,
What is your view of the wine industry in general and Andrew Peller in particular? A news article says that wine prices are set to rise as bad weather brings the worst harvest in 50 years to the industry leaders in France, Spain, and Italy. California was hit by wild fires and climate change is hurting other countries. Is this a positive or a negative for the Canadian wine industry?

I hold ADW.A in myTFSA and it has risen to an 18 % weighting. If I trim some ADW.A, which of the following would be your top pick for growth: BBU.UN, ENB, SYZ, Or GUD

Thank you very much for your opinion

Q: A recent article in the Globe was citing an RBC analyst as saying it was time to go underweight on tech stocks.
I have the following weightings in my portfolio -
ENGH - 6% ; SYZ, KXS and DSG 4% each.
Do you see any of these as being seriously overvalued? I have very good gains on all and have taken profits on all except KXS as they have moved up.
Any comments are appreciated.
