Q: what do you make of this deal between Hai and ET?how far is this deal done?
It called for ET buying Hai for $4.5 so there is still about 10% upside here.
Would this be an easy trade right now to buy Hai for $4 .If there is no takeover ,what would be the fair price be for Hai you think?
Are there insiders owning Hai and what are the positions.
Same as for ABST takeover.wouldn't it be good to buy ABST right now?or is it all too risky?Thanks

Q: Hi guys
Any of your thoughts on the Edenbrook Capital, LLC would be appreciated. As the biggest shareholder of Absolute they seem to saying management is giving the company away at the agreed takeover price.
Does this make a higher offer likely? Or a vote against the takeover.
Thanks Stuart

Q: What is your assessment of the takeover of Absolute by Crosspoint partners? Can I assume that it is highly unlikely that there will be a competing bid? Would you therefore sell it now or wait for the shares to be taken up at the offer price?
Q: Does the company look buyable at these levels?

Q: Hi guys
I have been a longtime holder of Absolute and am always a bit perplexed by the big swings in share price (often with no new news). They just released their latest earning report and the stock is down 15%. Your thoughts on earning? Was it that bad? Do you see this stock as reaching it's recent highs in the next two years?
Thanks
Stuart

Q: On Scotia iTrade under news Absolute Software they say on November 8 they will report first quarter Fiscal 2023 Financial Results. On their earnings review, they say on Q4 2022 an earnings per share estimate was -0.08 and the actual was -0.10. They are calling it a surprise in red -25.0% and the stock is down today. This is confusing because in the news it stated it was not reporting until Nov. 8 which is a ways away. Yet, in their earnings review they say a surprise -25.0% on the report. How does this sound to 5i? Thank you.
Q: Would appreciate your thoughts on this company, the recent EPS and the guidance. The market clearly liked the news today!
Thanks,

Q: For the last two sessions ABST had huge price swings.What is the reason behind this?
I am trying to decide between ABST and SYZ for some growth potential and income.
Are the dividends safe here?as SYZ becomes a "growth"stock ,they might cut the dividend?
Which of the two stocks would you buy or any other potential stock here?
As a site note,you mentioned NNX in a post with Martello,was this a typo?
