Investment Q&A

Q: Hello 5i,

I have some play money in my cash account, I'm looking at purchasing 2 or 3 small caps or stocks around $1 in price (or under). Can you give me your top 5 Canadian companies that you think have the greatest upside over the next few years. I will take a look and pick the ones I think will work out best. Thanks again.

Q: Big drop today. Any news on this.
Thanks John

Q: With the down turn in tech stocks, I am thinking of sellimg my Photon and replacing it with QUIS, CTS, and WELL. I t looks like the price of Photon will not go up much more that 3.60 and perhaps these stocks can benefit from the correction they are in. I figure that I might as well put the money and great profits (200%) to work in these potential gainers. What do you think of this switch.

Q: This stock is up 200% or so in the last year, normally I would have sold 50% long before reaching this level but I see no immediate downside to this one, would you continue to hold or sell half ? Selling too soon is becoming a bad habit for me.

John

Q: John asked about QUIS this morning and the "breakout report" was an article in the Globe & Mail May 3. Here is a link: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/markets/inside-the-market/article-mondays-breakouts-a-stock-thats-rallied-39-in-2021-with-a-further-gain/

Q: Quite the jump yesterday and good volume. I cannot find any news. Can you provide your insight? Thanks John

Q: Can you comment on latest earnings. Looked like a slight beat. What are your views on company prospects? What catalyst is needed to move stock to the next level and what risks are present?

Q: Could you please provide your comments regarding the above companies. How would you rank them in terms of a 3 year hold as regards risk/growth possibilities.

Thanks

David

Q: Would welcome your comments on the recent activity- acquisition of Bankcard , financing, etc. They seem to be moving into payments - Ledgerpay business ?
What does the proforma rev look like and balance sheet - they are
aggressive it would appear. Can they handle it?

Q: Quite different companies but if you had to own one, which one? What are the prospects for each going forward? Which has the most upside?

Q: QUIS has been moving in the right direction the past few days. On Friday I believe it was up almost 10%. The only news I see that might account for the strength was the announcement last week that the company was using 2 industry veterans to assist with strategic growth. Is this significant? Do you see anything else that might account for the upward momentum? What is your current assessment going forward?

Q: Currently looking at these two. Both appear to me, to have great potential for growth. Which in your view, has the largest up size. I realize they're in separate growing industries. Are both investable for the long term?

Q: QUIS has stalled and backed up a little in the past month or two. Any concerns with the stock or is it more a matter of company size, the general market and digesting gains before an upward trend can resume in your opinion?

Thanks, Mike

Q: There are a lot of small to medium sized Canadian technology companies, some of them fairly new to the stock market, that have seen very good stock price appreciation in the last year or two. Many/most of these companies are not profitable, and obviously this is a fairly speculative segment of the market. Today, I heard Darren Sissons talking about JDS Uniphase which went from $2 to $1,000 and back to $2 in the tech bubble 21 years ago. I'm wondering about how many of these small to medium sized Canadian tech companies might suffer a similar fate, and how many will succeed. Of the following list of stocks, what would be your estimate for the % of them that will succeed 5 - 10 years down the road at becoming long term successful businesses, with strong profits and a substantially higher stock price than now, and what % will fall by the wayside, failing to become good profitable businesses, and seeing their stock price drop off substantially. There are no doubt others that could be included in this list, but these are the ones I have picked out. Not asking which ones will succeed, just trying to get an idea of general potential for success/failure for this type of company/stock. ADCO, AT, CTS, DCBO, DND, KSI, LSPD, MVP, NVEI, PHO, QUIS, STC, WISH.

Q: First of all, thanks for the service you provide. I have found it extremely useful since becoming a member. Second, I apologize for the number of stocks covered in the question. If it is too many, please do not respond / post.
Within the last 12 months, I have purchased the above stocks strictly for growth or as momentum plays.
I would like to know which ones you would sell, either because their momentum has likely peaked, or because their share price growth prospects are poor. Please deduct as many credits as required. Thanks

Q: Hi, Is QUIS a good buy at $.93.
Thanks

Q: Hi- could you give a quick analysis of QUIS vs CTS- which would you prefer
at these levels - thanks

Q: Hi,

I'm not sure what to make of the announcement of QUIS hiring an outside company (Gateway) to help them with investor relations. Is it positive because Gateway will be able to increase QUIS visibility to institutional investors? Is it negative in that QUIS may be desperate and needs assistance? ...or is it a non-issue?

Thanks as always for your valuable insight.

Q: Results were released Wednesday after close with conference call set for 830 Thursday. Can you provide comments and outlook.

Q: When does QUIS next report and what is expected
