Q: I have owned Enghouse (ESL) for several months and while it has not shown any price growth I know that you are quite high on the stock. However, you seem to equally like Evertz (ET) for many of the same reasons you like ESL but given that ET pays a healthy dividend , I was wondering if I should switching from ESL to ET.

Looking forward to your insight.

Q: Hello Peter,
Below is an extract from S"E"D"I" showing an officer of Enghouse being short 20,000 shares of the company. He is long 30,000 options but it seems strange that an officer would actually sell his companies shares short. Not a big short position but still strange in my opinion. Any comment on the short position, and any thoughts on the merit of adding to an initial ESL position at this time. The other holdings in this area are AVO and CSU.
Many thanks.

Q: Hello. From a technical perspective ESL seems to have incurred a slight setback in the April/May timeframe and appears to be recovering and resuming it's trend. Are you aware of whether this setback was related to some specific event or whether it was related to external events and is this still considered a viable entry point for this stock? Thank you.

Q: I own 200 shares of Enghouse ESL, so around $6,500 worth. I cannot decide if I should add another $6,500 to ESL or by Sylogist syz for that same amount. I seem to think I will reduce risk having two companies in the same space in case one goes up and one goes down. What do you do? Buy more of the same company or diversify with another one in the same sector. Thanks for everything.
