Q: Can IWO be held inside a TFSA since it consists of american stocks. Is there a 15% claw back on the dividend. Would it really be considered a growth name since it consists of many companies. Thank You for the great service.

Q: Howdy,

CDV looks like a quality small cap in an industry with a high barrier to entry. But top line growth has been flat as a pancake for the past seven years. What corporate developments lead you to think that revenue and earnings will accelerate materially at this point in the companies history?

Q: hi folks:

repeatedly you have stated that kelso has a good balance sheet, good mgmt, and is in a good industry niche

AND always commented it to be 'very expensive'

assuming the above I ask....

given that it is directly related to the O/G sector yet given at $4.60 it is down +/- 35% at what point does it become reasonably priced (based on fundamentals), and at what point would it move to 'you'd be a dolt not to buy some'

thanks

Q: Hi Peter! I have collected a few names in my portfolio that have shrunk to little value and am wondering if you think I should hold on to these names or just exit the positions and move on. I'm not losing much by holding on to them but am unclear on whether there is much upside with any of these names? Ian

Q: Hey 5i team,

The following is an email I received re ASG from Josh Sandberg, Founder, OrthoSpinenews. I thought it would be interesting for our family to read, but only if you feel it is appropriate to post it.

... Thank you for your thoughtful question. I think that ASG has a tough road ahead of them. There are many issues that have to be navigated before I believe the market will respond positively to the stock. I am not a stock advisor so please don’t take this as advice of whether or not you should hold or sell, however, I know the market of spine extremely well and there are many reasons why I wouldn’t invest my money in ASG. The product offering is limited which makes it difficult to get enough attention from independent distributors. They have had significant turnover in the executive staff (primarily in the VP of Sales role). I don’t know why that is but having a few executives come and go within 6 months of hire is a concern. Lastly, the use of marketing funds is a little bit of a head scratcher and they have become kind of a punchline of what not to do (regarding high burn). It seems that they wanted to blitz the market and try to sell quickly, which I just don’t see happening in the short term because there’s not enough value for a strategic in the foreseeable future.
