Q: Either way, I suspect Kinaxis will be a horror show. today. However, for the purposes of assessing its Q3 performance, isn't the eps number, 19 cents, not 10 cents as was mentioned in a previous answer this morning.

"Prior to the effect of the Standards, Profit for the third quarter of 2018 was $5.2 million ($0.19 per diluted share), compared to $6.0 million ($0.23 per diluted share)".

Thanks.

Q: I have a full 5% position in NFI. I understand the market likes to react to expectations and I’m ok with this. A 13% drop today was too much in my opinion so I picked up a few shares.
My question is about volume. NFI is a 2.4 billion market cap company and approx. 1 million shares traded today being roughly $39 million.
Such a small % of market cap I see the drop today as irrelevant to the real share value.
So back to my question, is there a point where volume as a % of market value is something to guide us in either a down or up market? And I’m looking not as a trader but a long term investor.
I hope you understand the question.
Thanks
John

Q: In regards to High Liners earnings results they seemed exceedingly bad and the conference call did not outline much chance for a recovery before 2020. Did I miss any positive points? There was not really any discussion of a dividend cut other than a statement about "a review of its capital structure to determine the most prudent use of capital." Do you think a dividend cut is likely? In your opinion would private equity ever be interested in this company in a turn around situation?

Thanks

Q: In the conference call the guidance discussed was $2.13-2.68 (although someonelse suggested $2.16-2.71). The analyst estimate from your website shows $2.88 for 2018 and an estimate of $3.24 90 days ago. This seems to be a considerable downward trend although management seemed quite upbeat and insisted there are no structural changes to account for the weakness. Given this context I have two questions. Are there other metrics to suggest management is executing well? Are you comfortable with the potential such that you would take a new position at this price or would you wait for next quarter?

Q: Hello, do you still consider TOY a good stock for future growth? With revenue growth slowing last quarter to 12.6 % ( vs 37.4 % Aug 2017) and further declining to 2.3% this quarter (vs 27.6 % Nov 2017) and outlook of mid-single digit Gross Product Sales growth for full year 2018.
Does that not seem to be an extremely low revenue growth outlook for a stock like this? I understand the Toys "R" Us issues are a big driver of this low revenue growth but do you have confidence they can return to 20 % plus growth ? I know I am focusing on revenue growth but it seems so low... maybe they have a more positive view for 2019, did you gain any further insights from the conference call?

Q: The share prices of both TSGI and NFI have recorded significant declines recently. However, I feel the growth prospects for both companies are solid and, as such, consider this to be a good buying opportunity for a 3-5 year hold. Do you agree and, if so, would you ease in with 1/2 positions at this time or take full positions and simply put them away for a few years?
