Q: I have noticed SVI has tumbled from $2.60 to the $2.25 range lately.
I hold it as a small component in my TFSA (8%),

Would you recommend buying more at this level?
For a 1-3 year time horizon.
Thanks as always for your advice.

Thank-you

Q: Hi, Wondering your thoughts on PDH (Premier Diversified Holdings) on the CSE. I have taken a position as a bet on the jockey (CEO-Sanjeev Parsad) and his ability to invest and grow the business over the long term. Also, I like the idea of some exposure to their start-up / venture style investments (E.g. Sequant Re, MyCare Medtech etc). However, in saying that I understand the risks given the balance sheet and illiquidity so just looking for a second opinion on a stock like this in ones portfolio.

Q: Any thoughts on their earnings report? Looks like a good quarter and demand is picking up. Good buy at these levels?

Q: What are your thoughts on Input Capital? Was thinking of initiating a small position. What is the main risk to this business and what would be the catalyst to move the stock forward?

Q: I am interested in Village Farms to diversify my holdings in the marijuana sector and it seems like a safer play, currently I just hold ICC for a speculative play on South America.
What are the key metrics on VFF, earnings, book value, P/E etc… and would you consider this a good entry point now that it has come off its recent high after the Emerald Health joint venture announcement?

Q: I have been reading the recent news on Patriot One Technologies. Their technology identifies concealed weapons without the person's knowledge. If their technology is as good as it would appear to be, than PAT's revenue will explode in the coming years.

The current market valuation is more or less ¬$50,000,000, my best guess is PAT's income for the next twelve months will be in the $12,000,000 to $15,000,000. I am unable to predict how profitable the company will be, but their product sells for $10,000 plus PAT will receive some recurring revenues. I am guessing that most of the development and research costs are behind them, and that the cost of manufacturing their product will be less than $10,000. My question is, is there a method one can use in order to figure out if the current valuation is reasonable or not ?
