Q: Hi Peter and 5i: Can you please update your comments from last May on Absolute Software (ABT) and maybe expand on the suggestion that their "space" may not be as attractive as they think it is? You indicated that they have a long term view and a definite niche but I'm wondering about whether their stock makes sense as a long term hold. Thanks.
