Q: The last question on VPY was asked August, 2018. Recently at Raymond James analyst, "Ms. Phelan upgraded its stock to “strong buy” from “outperform,” seeing a “favourable” inflection point for both revenue growth and its share price".
What are 5iR's thoughts on VPY? Currently I have a small position.
Thanks team. Cheers, Chris

Q: Owned this in the past on a belief that content was king. Hasn't worked out that way for this company yet, though. However, with Disney+ coming on stream and the new hire announced today (with a Pixar connection) is it time to give this company another look? I see it ultimately as a takeout play and wondering if you concur. Or does this company still need to show it can grow profitably first and reduce its debt before buying?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hello 5i Team,

Wondering if you can give me your thoughts on the future potential of Brick Brewing, as they announced their 2018 year-end results last week. They currently do a significant business in co-bottling, and management says they plan on being part of the future cannabis-infused drink business when it becomes legal.

I read, however, that there will be strict rules for cannabis-infused drink bottlers, in that they will not be allowed to use the same bottling facilities as they do for alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks, due to cross-contamination risks. This will certainly add significant extra costs to all beverage companies that want to get in the cannabis game.

Thanks.

Brad

Q: Revenue seems to be progressing reasonably well for Opsens over the past few years but they still seem to run at a loss. I notice that the number of shares has also increased in the past few years. Two years ago, you reported that the insider ownership was 14%. Is that still the case?

Q: ESM has been performing very well in the past month. I am up over 70% in the matter of weeks. I almost begin to worry it is too good to be true. What can you say about such a rapid growth and what news releases should I pay attention to?
Also ESM had two major drops in the past (Nov 2008 and end of 2013), what happened then and what signs to be on the lookout for this time?
