Q: I am 30 years old and have built a sector diversified portfolio of around 25 names from the TSX worth approx 200k. I also have a pension invested conservatively in bonds/mutual funds worth approx 100k. I would like to invest all additional cash for the next few years in 3 or 4 ETF's to diversify out of Canada instead of adding to my Canadian portfolio. Do you see any major flaws in my theory? also could you suggest 2 or 3 ETF's to start out with. My thoughts were: VOO, VEA, and IJR. Thanks

Q: Since your last look a year ago, AcuityAds has been impressive in growing its business and in its most recent quarter, has actually turned EBITDA positive. And now while still small, current N.A. clients with European operations are asking them to expand into Europe while term loan lenders are chipping in by voluntarily proposing to defer interim payments in support of such a move.
Looks quite promising but was wondering if you're familiar with any of the management team.

Q: I am puzzled by the market's very negative response to Firan's release of 1st Quarter 2016 results this morning. The results were nothing special - perhaps they missed earlier guidance or expectations in a meaningful way - ?
Thank you,

Q: Peter:
Today RDM's market cap exceeded $100 million. As a former fund manager will this bring in more institutional investors into this stock and allow it to trade higher multiples?

Q: It's been over a year since you've looked at VersaPay (v.vpy). In the meanwhile, their move with ARC software is really starting to pay off, with acceptance/expansion to new customers and end-users developing even faster than the company itself had estimated just 3 months ago. What's your take?
Q: Could you please provide an update on QIS. It seems range bound and I am not sure if should keep it for it hasn't done anything in the past year. Would you switch it for KXS and why? Thank you!

Q: Hello team,
I have a question which may turn to a suggestion. You have just released a report on this company, which is generally positive for a long-term investor. I wanted to ask what you know about the management of this company. Have you seen them? What do you think of them? How much skin do they have in the game?
And with that, what do you think of having a section on Management in your coverage report? Like who they are? what is their background, past experience, education, etc? Have you met them or not and what is your overall impression of them? I think a section of this kind would add more value to your coverage report. I don't think I am the only one who believes more often than not it is the management that makes or breaks a company. I don't want to invest in a company which you (5i) do not have a good impression of. And if you put this information in the report, members would not have to email you and ask you the same.
Thank you as always 5i.
