Investment Q&A

Q: It appears to me that Bio-amber BIOA offers a very cost effective means of producing fine chemicals as an alternative to sourcing them from hydrocarbons. Given a long time horizon, say >3 years do you regard this as a good investment?
thanks Lawrence

Q: re: ViXS Systems VXS - is this the next "Renegade Petro type" growth story?

As you know through my previous questions... have been watching VXS for some time. I like the story as they appear to have the only system on a chip that's going to meet the requirements of the big TV companies and set top box systems for the next generation technology. And I just saw for the first time the new technology advertised on TV.

VSX has been hovering at $1.40 now for almost a month which is it's lowest point since the IPO last yr. Stephen Takasky on Market Call mentioned share price between $1 & $1.50 has tremendous value. He then mentioned Q2 yr/yr we should see "some nice signs on the profit side."

Always looking for the "buy low" opportunities, especially in today's market.

Where do you see VXS a yr from now? And can you comment on the financials relative to the share price?

Thanks for all you do

Q: The market seems to like Lonestar's (LSI) bought deal announcement coming on the heels of the most recent quarterly results. I had a small position, added during recent weakness at $2.65 and am inclined to hold. What are your views on the deal and future prospects?

Q: What do you think of Patient Home Monitoring's (PHM) recent quarterly results. They appear to be growing earning on a per share basis despite the share diltuion/aquisition model. Do you think it is now trading at a reasonable valuation to enter the stock, or still to expensive?

Q: What are your thoughts on the The Intertain Group (TSX:IT)? The upside looks to be tremendous. If the company in my opinion gets back to the 2011 numbers, this stock could triple?

Q: Peter:

Wanted Technologies(TSX: WAN)released fiscal Q3 results this morning and they looked excellent. Other than being small company they are in big sector "the big data space" for HR a fast growing market. Given this, the stock seems very cheap at $1.10 given Company has over $0.20 per share in cash and debt free. Am I missing something? This seems like a company that can get taken out and very nice premium too. What do you think?

Q: My question is on Ivanhoe Mines (IVN). This is my speculative holding in my portfolio. My concern is with how the market is reacting to the share issue. I want to know if I am missing anything or making a mistake on this name as anyone following the story should know there is a massive amount of capital they need to raise to buld their projects (ie Dilution). Lastly, should it be viewed as a positive this issue and the previous one in Oct 2013 Robert Friedland subscribed to $25 million each time.
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
I was hoping you could comment on LSI's latest quarter?
The commentary seems very positive for the first time in a long while.
I know they didn't give a lot of info, but did you have any issue with how they are structuring the potential acquisition? I would suspect the market will like what they reported.

Thanks in advance,
J.

Q: Hi, Would appreciate your analysis of Sylogist Quarterly results. Stock has been trading as low as $8 while the financing was done @$8.90, not long ago.Will the dividend increase help the price recover, in your view? Thanks

Q: Hi guys. have you had a look at TVL yet?

Q: I play the small cap stocks. Too often I find the price open up the next day down 20% because of refinancing. I will run my ideas by you before making any more buys. They are KLS Kelso and RCL Riley recently both down, QST Questor recent digest pick and NCU Nevada Copper. I also hold Canola CNE. What is your opinion on that? That's four potential buys and one I am holding.
I have to get on a winning streak.
Thanks,
Dennis

Q: What do you think of Difference Capital's earnings? Nav seems to be going up. Is it a good time to jump in? Thanks!

Q: Could I get an update on NOV (NovX21, formerly Pro-Or) I've been watching it for some time and it certainly has a good idea and aparently they have proven the technology but I don't see where they are going to get the money from. Is it a high risk buy down at this low price.
Thanks Doug

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan

Can I get your take on QHR's 2014Q1 results? They look decent to me, although the RCM business appears to be struggling and there was a loss in operating cash flow. Also, Telus - a much bigger company - appears to be QHR's main competitor in the EMR space. Is this something to be concerned about? QHR's revenue continues to grow and (at least in my view) has a strong balance sheet, so I have not been too worried, but would appreciate your input.

Thanks.
