Q: Peter, I hope you are fully recovered from your mishap with no lasting injuries.
My question relates to the risky DCF (Difference Capital). It's trading at .18 of book value (Google finance) with market cap of $66 million. I can understand that many of DCF holdings are private and am wondering:
1) what is the FMV of these private holdings
2) what is the value of the 28% they hold in BENEV Capital which has a net working capital of $68 million (stock is halted).
What I am getting at is that based on an assumption of reasonable valuation of FMV of the private holding of DCF and market value of its public investments, the stock is undervalued. If you agree with my argument, what then would be a fair discount to Book value if 18% to BV is unreasonably low?

Thanks Peter.

Q: It seems Lithium is required for quite a lot these days including the batteries which power Tesla Motors electric cars. Recently an item appeared in a UK financial magazine about Bancora Minerals, BCN, a Lithium miner in Mexico. Usually I stay away from penny stock but what do you think?

Q: I am looking at deploying some of my trimmed Amaya profits within my TFSA into a new small / micro cap name. It will be a small weight in a fairly balanced portfolio of mostly mid and large cap 5i endorsed companies. I have 20% of my portfolio earmarked for a basket approach of riskier names (ie. SYZ, LSI, MCR, E, WAN, ATHN etc).

Going through past comments, it seems you are positive on all of PRW, CXS, KLS, HWO and QST. For new cash deployment today, can you rank your top 5 small / micro cap companies to buy today (whether its the 5 listed here, or any others)? What is your absolute favourite right now?

As always, thank you.

Q: A new company called slyce (slc-x) going to start trading on venture soon. There probably isn't much to go on from a numbers perspective and I certainly appreciate the risks involved with such a new unproven company but still curious about your thoughts on its imaging technology app and how you think it might be received by retailer community. Thank you.

Q: Let's visit a micro-cap and out of the mainstream stock like Danier Leather (TSX: DL).

You mentioned a couple years back that this is a company waiting to go private. I see that the company is indeed paying back stock ever single year (and has less than 3 million shares outstanding in circulation). Is this a buy on the possibility that it goes private?

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Hi Peter, do get well soon. Now, What are your thoughts on a company called UNR Holdings, UNRH. I know its extremely small, so very high risk, but man, its trading fairly cheap. Is it because of its market cap? or is there something else going on?
