Q: I have added these 3 companies to my TFSA because I believe they are all capable of a double in the next year. They are not part of your growth portfolio. Can you a) rank their potential, b) general comments on them and c) what would make them eligible for a small position in your growth portfolio? Thanks, love your service and just added the ETF Newsletter to my reading.

Q: Hi Team,

I would like add a high risk/high reward micro cap stock to my portfolio, and would not be crushed at all if I lose a good chunk of my investment should the stock end up tanking.

All 3 of these stocks have had great runs, but I'm leaning toward rolling the dice on FLY. BUS seems the riskiest to me given the huge influx of orders and lack of a lengthy track record of being in business. FTG seems the least risky, but not sure if its growth rate would be comparable to the other 2 companies.

Which of these 3 do you think has the best growth potential for a long term hold? And what other speculative micro cap high growth names do you like right now?

Also, generally speaking, over a similar time frame (say 5 or 10 years) do you think it is easier for a micro cap company to increase its share price from $0.25 cents a share to $0.50 cents a share, vs. a larger company's ability to increase its share price from $25 to $50 a share?

Final question is what are the key metrics you guys look at when trying to evaluate micro caps that often aren't quite profitable yet?

(I understand if you dock me for a few questions here - its all good!)

Q: As you may know, Iridium launched 10 new satellites into orbit this past saturday. At the same time, they announced a JV with Aireon whereby Aireon would be selling aircraft tracking solutions, incorporating/utilizing the Iridium satellite signal. Flyht Aerospace already has a great hardware/software platform to do this using the same Iridium system of satellites. How can this be a positive development for Flyht Aerospace? Even NAV Canada has invested in Aireon!? How/why would Iridium do that to their customers and why would NAV Canada do that to Flyht?

Q: What is your opinion of the product that Flyht Aerospace has and its potential in today's market. I really like the theory of the product but as the price lingers I'm thinking there must be some problem or issue that is stopping companies from purchasing their solution for all aircraft. Is it still a leading edge solution in the market place and its cost per aircraft is what is holding sales back? Management? Or does it simply need more time. Would appreciate your input here
Thank-you in advance
Terry

Q: I read today that if I wouldn't buy the company today perhaps it is a good reason to sell. In the case of Flyht Aerospace, I have lost 74%. So just to clean up my investments a bit I thought of selling. At the same time, I have no need to sell so could hang on for several years if there was a perceived value with FLY. I see that they have changed their executive. I don't know if good or just loss of confidence in the company by their old senior executive. Any thoughts you have in terms of action I should take are appreciated.

Q: Hello Team
FLY is a mystery to me. They put a couple of airline heavyweights on their board, they have patented technology, they have been certified to install the technology with a couple of large aircraft manufacturers and yet the only news they have is about a debenture extension. What gives ?
I think something is amiss. I don't believe Rob McWhirter is holding them any more. He didn't have much to say on BNN last time.
Can the 5I team shed any light on this company

Thank You for your help
Clarence

Q: Hello Peter and team,
Hello Peter and Team,
Your reports have certainly been of good value to me lately but on another note. Finally there is some news on FLY.
FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd.TSXV:FLY, this company has just sealed a deal with Sierra Nevada Corporation ("SNC"). What are you thoughts regarding this one? Should I let it fly, hit it or just let it fly around?
Best regards,
Heather
