Q: Hello 5i,

I was wondering what percentage of Sylogist's (SYZ) revenue is relatively fixed or recurring in nature? I noticed they haven't announced any new contracts recently. Would the contracts they announced last year still largely be in effect this year?

Their 2013 Q4 numbers were a step change above that for 2012 with benefits being realized from the Epic Data aquisition. Do you expect this to continue and what would you expect in the way of EPS for Q1?

Thanks

Q: As a comment to Neil who wrote about SYZ, as a fellow chartist - who never made a lot of money reading charts and is trying to take a more fundamentalist approach (thanks 5i), to add to your woes, there is a Head and Shoulders formation trying to form on the weekly chart. If the price drops below about 6.70 it will have completed. Also, on the daily chart, there is an intermediate triangle in place - the bulls and bears have less than a week to decide who will win out; since the downtrend is still in place, the bears will like prevail.

My observation about Fundamentalists and Technical Analysts is that all professionals never lose site of either, only emphasize one over the other. 5i wrote a few weeks back, that us Techies usually want to "market time" which he stated he does not believe in.

Q: Re: SYZ
Long time (close to original?) subscriber, just renewed for two more years. Thank you for providing the subscriber discount - it again shows your ethics and the fairness with which you treat your subscribers (which is in addition to the great info you provide).
Anyway, enough of the accolades.
Sylogist (a member of your portfolio) has been pretty much sideways since August. Technically, (sorry, I'm a bit of a chartist - I know you aren't) it has fallen below its 20 and 50 day moving averages and is showing significant negative divergences on both MACD and RSI. (Not good technical signs). While I appreciate you may be "comfortable" with the stock here, my question is what do you see as being necessary to move this stock upward and what might be the chances of that happening.
Though I ask very few questions, I really appreciate your responses.
Thank you
Neil

Q: hello, sorry to say I have not been following you people as closely as I should have been!! but will rectify this. I see SYZ from the chart has had a nice run. I like the company profile, in your report. Are you still bullish on this stock? Also, do you see any near term catalyst to drive it higher? I am looking to take a position in it, with a little retrace, as of Fridays close..............Thank you, I like what you guys are doing
