Q: I am considering initiating a small position in Helius Medical Technology because I am really interested in the treatment options for neurological disease/trauma they could potentially offer. After reading about their PoNS device in various books and articles, I recently discovered they have gone public. I know it is very early days, but in your opinion, is it a worthy investment opportunity? I would be purchasing a small amount as part of the "speculative" part of my portfolio.
Thanks for the help you guys provide day in and day out, Rory

Q: Napec (NPC-T) was a top pick on BNN last week. Although this is not in your data base would you be able to comment on its debt level, insider ownership, earnings and cash flow. At first glance does it seem like a company to put on a watch list. Thanks.

Q: I have made some good gains on XCS(24%) and XIC (10.5%) from the market runup from January. Thanks to your article about small caps stocks from last year. Now I am wondering if I should take the gains, wait for a sell off and buy in again. With most of my stocks I never time the market and its all buy and hold but with XCS and perhaps XIC I am considering taking profits. Or mayble I should just take profits from XCS..Note that the holdings are in a registerd account so tax is not an issue. Your opinion is most valued. cheers, Shyam

Q: Let's start with the past! Going nowhere for several years except for numerous lawsuits, litigation, high settlement costs & legal fees - BUT, the worm turns and, I believe, there maybe light at the end of the tunnel! At least, that's my current position since I still own a chunk at close to 6 dollars! While I completely agree with your cutting the cord about 2 years ago, I would appreciate a revisit & up to date opinion.
Thank you.
