Investment Q&A

Q: I already own XBC, and have been looking at GRN it has moved up a bit lately. Is it a buy? Was just wondering how much difference there was in these two companies. XBC seems to be more into the hydrogen and cleaning of gases. Is GRN more into RNG equipment and installations. I know you really like XBC and was wondering whether it would be suitable to buy GRN. Or do you have another company in the same field that might be better or should I just add to my XBC.
Thanks John

Q: Hello Peter, Ryan, and 5i Team,

I know you haven't been a big fan of these two companies in the past, due to some questionable management issues before they split from Patient Home Monitoring. However, Viemed shares have surged since listing on the Nasdaq (with some help from Covid) and PTQ has shown recent momentum with last week's announcement of a pending Nasdaq listing. Could you please give me your current thoughts on these two companies? Specifically, does the potential for a cross-listing gain with PTQ outweigh some of the other concerns, or would you still be wary? Thanks, Brad

Q: I bought a 1 percent position after your lgo comments. It is showing some nice momentum. Worth adding another percent if I am still short in materials? What is there advantage over competitors?

Q: Hi there, I just read the following post on Motley Fool Canada (18 Top TSX Stocks to Buy for 2021 and Beyond), one of eighteen top picks by their writers for 2021 is BUS. Is there way too much hype here, or maybe some truth to it but with lower expectation? Would like your thoughts on what the writer says below?
Thanks!

Grande West Transportation (TSXV:BUS) is a Canadian mid-sized bus manufacturer that is set to enjoy phenomenal revenue growth after entering the battery-electric bus market this year. The tiny company started receiving large bus orders from the United States late last year and its has a sizable delivery backlog to be cleared during the first half of 2021 that will boost liquidity and profitability in 2021.

Production capacity is increasing significantly and EV bus demand in North America is expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate of 28.5% between 2020 and 2030. Management anticipates rapid EV bus sales growth in the near future. Grande West could experience exponential business growth post-COVID-19.

The EV bus launch attracted market attention for the nano-cap stock and its shares have doubled during the first two weeks of trading in 2021. Momentum remains strong for another triple-digit return this year.

Fool contributor Brian P..... has no position in the stock mentioned.

Q: Can I get your thoughts on this Company, Powerband Solutions Inc.?

It has an interesting business model focusing on the vehicle market; but I frankly bought it expecting to lose all my money. After a long while of being under-water, the price is a decent amount higher than what I bought in. I'm trying to figure out if I should exit and take the (small) gain or stick around for the long-haul.
