Q: Hello team
I noted that Patrick Horan said that a competitor of Sandvine's was up for sale with about a 35% premium. He said that the competitor was much smaller than Sandvine. Do you have any idea who the competitor is. Patrick made positive comments on SVC. What do you guys think of SVC?

Thank You for your good work
Clarence

Q: The stock has plummeted and management has been given the boot by the debt holders (albeit not until original management made out like lottery winners).
Do you know anything about new management and whether it is at all possible to turn this baby around. Would a commodity (gold, uranium) reversal of fortune help at all?

Q: Hello Peter & team, I wish to invest in US Small cap stocks. Which of the 2 following ETFs would you prefer, SLY or IWO (iShares Russell 2000 Growth (IWO)? SLY seems to have a better P/E ratio and a better yield. Both carry about the same fees of 0.20%. Thanks, Gervais

Q: Reading previous responses, 5i appears to suggest treating all accounts (cash, RRSPs, TFSA) as a whole when considering how diversified a whole portfolio is. There is also a suggestion to place higher risk (growth) names in TFSA accounts because of the potential tax benefits. I agree with this approach and am considering both mine and my spouse's accounts as one large portfolio.

What is the suggestion if I were to setup a new RESP for a young child? For instance, if I initiate $5,000 position in a high growth name such as DHX.B, this may be a small weighting in an overall family portfolio, but now I am basically betting the future child's educational funds in one stock. If the child is very young, high growth is desired, but is this the right approach? Or should I be trying to diversify the $5000 into multiple stocks (perhaps 5 stocks at $1,000 each)? A list of some potential stocks would also be appreciated. Thanks!

Q: I have a substantial investment in this company based on (1) it is the highest grade lithium deposit in North America, and (2) tight control of management and expenses by the Walker family of Sudbury who are spending/investing like its their own money (they do not have more than 10-20% of the equity); and they own (privately) the largest independent blasting and drilling company in Canada (and North America?--not sure). The downside is the stock is now in relatively few hands and is relatively illiquid/volatile. Please provide your view. Thank you.

Q: I look at PIH every few months. It is a microcap and the avg. volume is miniscule, but the valuation is reasonable and could be a takeover target I suppose. What do you think of the debt, overall quality of the management and the company's prospects? Thanks as usual for your insight.

Q: According to INK Company Insider, there has been some insider buying. Hamptom Securities and Beacon have apparently been buying. Given the release of their new sports app which looks pretty good, I wonder if I could get your comments on the company for the next 12-18 months?

Q: Your views on Frankly Inc. Beacon just initiated today with an interesting report about the Company's potential. Impressed to see them raise 23M dollars for a start up tech fund listed on the TSX-V. What do you know (or think) of the players involved (SSK Planet, Stanford University, JJR Private Capital). Would you recommend this stock for a speculative position in a portfolio?

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
I was looking over a press release from Pulse Seismic dated January 19, 2015 reporting preliminary unaudited 2014 financial results. The numbers look surprisingly good and the stock price appears to be steadying up. (part of it may be the share buybacks) I would appreciate your opinion of the numbers contained in the press release and the company's long term prospects, if energy prices firm up. Thank you very much. DL
