Q: Hi 5i,
This is not a question, but rather a note to add to the ongoing DH dialogue. A number of weeks or months ago, DH had a release stating that they were working in conjunction with another firm to explore and develop Blockchain technology (if I read and understood correctly). This, to me, is a positive in that it shows that DH can and will innovate and is not going to be "left behind" if they can help it. Blockchain is expected to be a "disruptive" technology if it pans out as anticipated. DH is looking to try and be on the leading edge, not following and playing "catch up" later.
For myself, I will hold on and wait, perhaps add enough to be just slightly overweight, take the dividend, and give the company a chance to further prove themselves. If I am totally wrong in this, my weighting at about 1.50% (pre-drop) won't cause me too much grief in the big scheme of things.
Anyway, for what it is worth, I thought I would offer this up.......

Q: I have shares in Amaya, Intertain and NYX gaming and am quite discouraged with both their performance and their outlook. If I were to hold any of them could you rate them from strongest to weakest with reasons. Do you think any of them are an outright sell at this point. Thanks.

Q: Good morning. I'm wondering if you would consider this a good entry point for KBL? Its RSI at 28 seems like this might be a good time to jump in but I wanted your take on its valuation. Is the forward P/E of 22.8 (according to Globeinvestor) reasonable for this company? After the excitement of DH this week, I'm thinking a "boring" stock like KBL might be a nice addition to my holdings. Thanks!

Q: I have already read all the Q&A and understand your opinion. As an investor I am trying to learn from this mess. With that in mind and looking for past experience guidance to making a decision on my holdings, I am looking for a similar "case study" stock.

A stock that is highly respected, good track record over time, solid management, etc, but in more of a "sunset" business than a sunrise business - but trying hard to change.

The one that quickly comes to mind is Yellow Pages, and we know that did not turn out well for investors - unless they bought the depreciated and restructured company and have seen a nice profit since then.

Any parallels here or other foreseeable surprises ahead?

Your thoughts, please.

Thanks.

Q: Please comment on quarter and outlook. It appears they are serious about reverting to profits and growth. Is there bona fide progress, or just a case of 'managing expectations' as new management transitions in?

Q: Hi there

I have owned a part position in Northwest Company and was thinking of adding to it on the recent pullback to bring it up to a full position. I like it's steady income characteristics. Do you think it's recent decreased same stores sales issues are a temporary blip, or more of a long term trend going forward? If you were going to invest a full position into a food/merchant seller would it be your first choice or would it be something else?

Much thanks

Stuart
