Q: BAD - I have two problems. First, the $7.4M charge represents 33% of cash flow. Second, the DU liability is valued at another $21M as a current liability on the B/S. How do I estimate the cash flow impact of the plan as it continues to vest? Rewarding mgmt for stock performance is great and aligns their interests with mine, but when 33% of the operating cash flow disappears I become a little concerned. Plus I cannot get a handle on the future liability this plan represents.

Q: Hi 5i,
Just looking for your insight into CFN's earnings. I have held since $5.00 - enjoy the yield on my cost, but I really want to make sure the capital is safe. Is it time to move on from this story?

Thanks in advance,

Jaime

Q: 5i team,

A follow up on the previous question about BAD's earnings. The discussion around the deferred unit costs affecting the results so much seems bizarre to me. Is this something to be concerned about... something "bad"? Considering the past 90 days, it looks like the story is still well in tact going forward, long term. Do you have any concerns for the future given the developments in the earnings today? It seems like the reduction in margins should have been passed on to the customer... again, is this bad? Does this mean they will experience margin errosion?

Q: DHX
Dear 5i,
Could you please provide feedback on DHX's earnings? I thought they were fine but the market doesn't like it. I haven't purchased my second position and wondering if now is the time to buy more and average down. Thanks for all your advice.

Q: AYA has been soft the last few days. They announced that they are reporting Q1 on May 15. If you look at the chart for the week before Q4/FYE was recently announced, in hindsight, it appears that a "few" people knew the quarter was going to be soft. Would your long-term thesis change if AYA missed analyst expectations this quarter and do you think (without having a crystal ball) that based on the price action, although on low volume, investors are anticipating a repeat? What are your thoughts on the weakness?

Q: How do you view the recent results of McCoy (MCB)? I had asked a previous question on them and you suggested that investors may be waiting for the next results. Think these results will tweak some interest?

Thanks.

Q: I know you have answered a lot of questions recently about Avigilon (AVO), but I feel compelled to ask one more anyway. The price continues to drop every day with no relief. In the absence of any news form either the company or any other source, is there some price point or percentage drop at which you might simply consider it wise to cut the loss and get out? There doesn’t seem to be any buyers stepping in and at some point shouldn’t an investor give some credence to the combined wisdom of the market? I find it worrisome that in the face of the market reaction the company has not put out any type of clarification or press release that might calm investors.
