Q: Dear 5i
I`ve read a few times that you`ve mentioned EBIX as one of your favourite US stocks . I`ve looked at it in some detail and agree that it looks impressive . My only concern is its debt level and a relatively high short position. Do these metrics concern you at all ?
I`m considering FLIR and GRMN as well and was wondering if you could rate these three stocks best to worst .
Thanks
Bill C.

Q: Sangoma Technologies released Q1 FY 2018 results this evening. Q1 looked really strong and the share valuation seems very inexpensive for Company with this growth rate, that is profitable and has a strong balance sheet. Your thoughts on STC, its current valuation and would it be a future consideration for the 5i growth portfolio given its 2018 annual sales are guided to exceed $46 million?

Q: I would like your updated opinion on Dollarama. I think it is reporting 3rd quarter results. Consulting the question database, you have felt it was expensive in the past, but it has been heading up and up and is at an all time high as of tyhe close today. My personal experience has been walking to isles. The store seems to be an upgrade of the inexpensive store format - they stock a higher qualtiy of good (in my opinion). So, are there any danger signs ? Love your terrific service.

Q: Well, it looks likes like the stock is making another strong move again, yes expensive, but is this just a company that amazon can not compete against? In one of the stores today, seeing the line-up at the till, it just doesn't stop. Reminds me of what Peter Lynch said, just watch where people are shopping. They also love to buy back stock, is that a good sign also?
Thanks again

Q: Hello Team,
I've been waiting for a chance to grab Uni Select shares at a good price since a couple of years. Do you feel that, at the current price, it is a time to take a half-position considering their balance sheet and prospect... even if the momentum in the share price is not good at all right now?

Thanks in advance for your advice !
Michel

Q: re your advice to Paul yesterday to tender to the offer through a broker
Is there a difference if I sell directly online or do I need to speak with a broker.
