Q: I'm tempted to buy into this stock. I like the way its chart looks, and it seems to have weathered this last 2 or 3 months of market volatility reasonably well. However, I hesitate because it is such a low volume trader, and I wonder how sustainable is its market plan - does domain name franchising have future momentum. I read the rules affecting domain names
has changed this past year. Possibly this why TC has done so well, And do you know the management? Has management ever talked about branching out?
Just want thank you all for your invaluable service and to wish all staff and families the best in the new year.

Q: Hi 5i,

What am I missing on SYZ? I can't figure out why it is not trading dramatically higher.

Please help me if I am wrong on my assumptions but based on my calculations, starting with the already completed and soon to be reported q4, both revenues and profits over the next year should come very close to tripling from the trailing 12 months. This is based on the disclosure in their last report which stated that the last acquisition if reported pro-rata would have added $28mm and $11mm in top and bottom lines respectively over the trailing 12 months.

Based on this, I can't figure out why the share price is not much, much higher; notwithstanding the gain ytd.

What am i calculating wrong here?

Thanks,
J.

Q: 5-year 7%-coupon debentures from GuestLogix started trading yesterday (GXI.DB). Already they have fallen to nearly 90 cents on the dollar, giving a yield to maturity of roughly 9.5%. Do you think that the risk associated with the creditworthiness of GXI is adequately compensated at 9.5% (+ the chance of much higher gains if the stock moves up significantly in the next 5 years) ? Thanks!

Q: Thanks for great advice!
Please comment on CKI (Clarke) I have read your previous commnents and would like to know what you think of this as an investment compan y... the numbers look too good, but it is so thinly traded.... having read the financial statements, do you trust the management and the veracity of reporting? why is it not traded more heavily? would putting 1000 shares into be too great a risk?
Thanks

Q: What's your thoughts on PHM.v? Revenue growth has been explosive this year and they just issued another LOI to acquire a company with 8 million in revenue. Roll-ups can't go on forever and this pace is not sustainable without profits.

Q: Hi Peter & 5i: Can you please give me your current assessment of Calian? I do not own it now but I have in the past. They seem to fly under the radar mostly. I know they are a very low volume trader, have a very small float, small market cap, and they have some history of share buybacks. I also know that they are substantially dependent on government contracts. With the shares under $18 and the dividend over 6% again, I am thinking about buying a small position but I am wondering if there is anything of particular concern on their horizon, apart from their 'regular concerns' that is. Thanks very much and the Best of the Season to all at 5i!

Q: Hi 5i team,
BOS
Good history of growth revenue and earnings in an industry subject to commodity prices. Has been impacted by governments reducing expenses. Recent acquisition to drive more growth. Managed level of leverage. Slowly growing dividend. Not sexy.
I would like to have your thoughts on BOS (including management, industries they are active in)
Thank you for your help, Eric

Q: I was disappointed to read this week that the “Growth Portfolio” won’t be available until March. I need to be very aggressive for a while. I currently hold: atd.b, ccl.b, stn, gil, aya, which I suspect will be candidates for this portfolio. Could you name a couple of others that you are considering. Thanks.
