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!)

Q: I have a question about QIS. They've had really positive news recently. The stock responded by moving to new highs. That said, the price action is happening on low volume (16 K shares today). Looking at the valuation (Price/Sales, Price/Earnings for example), the price seems extended. counter that with seemingly very high growth. What do you think is a reasonable price or valuation to assign to this company given the growth profile.

Q: I wonder if you had a chance to listen to the conference call and if it added anything to your assessment of the company? I think the current share price ($3.40-3.50) is not necessarily a screaming bargain but if they execute well, then they ought to see significant share price appreciation over the course of the next few years. The company seems to be in the right place and the growth opportunities seem quite substantial.
