Q: Good morning,

I have been reading many more articles recently regarding the macro trend toward organic and non anti-biotic raised food. Major food chains such as A&W (thanks very much for the investing idea!) and now McDonalds (large restaurant chain in the world) offering meals with non anti-biotically raised animals.

Can you please provide your perspective on this as well as the best way for an individual investor to participate in this macro trend. Please provide best equity or other opportunities in this space either in Canada or in US.

Thanks as always for the independent perspective you provide!

Q: Hi,
I first have to say that I own this company stock. I also consider it the most creative and the most exciting industrial company today since my inroads with Kelso.. It also trade at very low price for it's future potential in my opinion
I think everybody should have a look at this company. They have released today a General business update that is worth at least reading.
I do not want to be perceived as a stock pusher, so as usual it is absolutely up to you to release.
It IS a microcap of course also!

Q: Hi,

Wondering if you have any thoughts on Imperus technologies? I have some warrants from two years ago that expire this November and wondering if it's a good move to exercise. Appears that the price has dropped significantly.

Q: I enjoyed your Small Cap essay. I had to get to pg4 to know which small cap indices you were using. Pg4 & beyond said MSCI, but which MSCI?

Why would you compare a Financial & resource heavy Tsx to ,say, IWO or any MSCI small cap.

You have been a long term IWO advocate. Is there a C$ ETF that would provide access to IWO stocks as VUS/VUN do For access VTI?
Also can you suggest ETFs in any currency that follow MSCI Indices?

I ask few questions, but follow with interest your daily stream. Thanks for what you do

Q: Good morning,
I just a few questions about how a company discloses drill results. Assuming they visually see something in the cores before they are sent to the lab, does the company have to disclose what they "think" they saw? This company sent in 173 samples for testing out of 1515 meters drilled. How big would a typical sample be? Last but not least, can a company disclose material news while they are trying to close a financing?
Appreciate your thoughts

Q: May I have your opinion of this company?

I'm looking at this as a turnaround play. Stock has been absolutely hammered; but there appears tremendous upside and value here. They were on the brink of bankruptcy due to leverage, and have since recapitalized. They have a cash flow positive assets in Nicaragua as well... Is this a value trap? or a bet worth taking for a patient investor with guts?

Not to encourage groupthink but I've searched the company profile on Morningstar.ca and discovered that this company is a top position in a mutual fund called Pender Small Cap Opportunities.

I'd appreciate your thoughts on this. I understand that these kind of bets can be volatile.

P.S: I own most of your growth portfolio and am comfortable within the small cap realm of investing, with a time frame over 20 years. Great work on the small cap special report. Keep it up.

Q: Good Afternoon,
I read your recent report on TNC, the company sounds interesting but I'm not sure I really understand what it is they do? Don't most of us use online banking. I can access my online banking via home, the office or my cell phone to make my bill payments to the phone company, utilities etc.. I'm not sure why I would access one of their kiosks in a retail location to pay my utility bill? I must be missing something here?
Thank-you
