Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: The last trade looks to be about a week ago, and TD displays a message that stock details are unavailable.  Are you aware of any developments with the company (or has it just had a week of no trading volume)?
On a related note, the company seems to rely on private placements from the chairman for a couple of million$ at a time.  With the market capitalization at $9M now, why wouldn't the chairman just take the company private and save the expense of running a public company, if it is a going concern?  Thanks for your expertise.

Q: please comment on the Q4 and year end. This quote from CEO, is it just hype or is this company ready to start increasing customers and revenues? Also does the insiders and institutional share holders tell us anything?
"Though financial performance in FY22 was below our expectations, I am confident in the platform we have created for growth in FY23" said John Proctor, President and CEO of Martello. "The end of the 2022 fiscal year marked an inflection point for Martello towards an absolute focus on becoming a Microsoft Modern Workplace optimization leader. In FY22 we built the product, sales channels and go-to-market strategy to address this market, one which has greater potential than anything Martello has ever done. We are seeing early indicators of momentum around the Vantage DX solution just a few months after launching.

Q: Everyone, you suggested a number of micro caps stocks rather than one or two. Recently you have suggested MTLO and PNP. Can you recommend another three? Individually I will invest $1000 each and with the assumption that they could go to zero. Many thanks.

Q: Martello shares have settled into the 5 cent range with 321 million shares outstanding for a capitalization of $16 million. Could you please offer your interpretation of the recently reported financial results, the financial means available on the books to fuel the day-to-day operations of the company, and whether the company has the means to be a going concern? Also at what rate are new shares issued on an annual basis (as compensation or any purpose) to dilute existing shareholders? Thanks from an appreciative member.

Q: Hi 5i Team - I am considering selling my shares in Martello for a capital loss and possibly buying it back after 30 days. In your opinion is there anything that could move this stock forward in that time period. Also I am wondering if it's really worth buying back at all. Could you provide some fundamentals including cash position, level of debt and insider buying or selling. In the past you have mentioned the high pedigree of management. Does that still hold. Thanks.

Q: I asked this last week but haven't seen a response yet, so ignore if the answer is pending. I hold these as a basket of spec stocks looking for extreme growth. I've done well with all but MTLO and I'm wondering if it still fits here or if I should let it go and roll into the remainder. Would you have a favorite one or two from this list? Any you would run away from?

Q: Hi there,

I am looking to consolidate and sell some stocks. I have listed my stocks that are not performing and would rather invest elsewhere.

Any of the above stocks recommended to hold / sell?

Thanks in advance.

Q: I have been following and have read the q&a on this stock as a speculative buy ( 10 % weighting in TFSA which I believe you will say is way too high ? ) for quite some time and have some questions/ comments.
1. Management is intriguing with co chairs, which I consider messy. One is a salesman who hit it rich in the weed business (Canopy), while the other is respected and experienced ( Mathews). Their CEO is experienced ( but still with no cash in the game? ) Management a positive/ negative?
2.Their products are promising and they have made the right kind of acquisitions. Agree?
3. You have commented that the stock has been ignored and is a wait and see such like GUD.
Wondering if the market is less excited with small tech companies at the moment. Does this create the opportunity to jump in a a good price or to stay away from for a while longer?
4. Balance sheet seemed fine; true ?
Your thoughts are appreciated.
Derek
