Q: I have added these 3 companies to my TFSA because I believe they are all capable of a double in the next year. They are not part of your growth portfolio. Can you a) rank their potential, b) general comments on them and c) what would make them eligible for a small position in your growth portfolio? Thanks, love your service and just added the ETF Newsletter to my reading.

Q: Good Morning

I have owned this stock for years and I think I am emotionally involved with it as I am reluctant to sell it. I do like the concept of airborne surveys but there are over 53 million shares outstanding. This of course is in my risk portfolio. I am trying to make the decision to sell and thinking of replacing it with ITC or PHO. Need your assisstance to convince me to sell and which of the two would you replace it with?

Q: Hi Team,

I would like add a high risk/high reward micro cap stock to my portfolio, and would not be crushed at all if I lose a good chunk of my investment should the stock end up tanking.

All 3 of these stocks have had great runs, but I'm leaning toward rolling the dice on FLY. BUS seems the riskiest to me given the huge influx of orders and lack of a lengthy track record of being in business. FTG seems the least risky, but not sure if its growth rate would be comparable to the other 2 companies.

Which of these 3 do you think has the best growth potential for a long term hold? And what other speculative micro cap high growth names do you like right now?

Also, generally speaking, over a similar time frame (say 5 or 10 years) do you think it is easier for a micro cap company to increase its share price from $0.25 cents a share to $0.50 cents a share, vs. a larger company's ability to increase its share price from $25 to $50 a share?

Final question is what are the key metrics you guys look at when trying to evaluate micro caps that often aren't quite profitable yet?

(I understand if you dock me for a few questions here - its all good!)
