Q: Hello Folks:
I own LLL and with technology companies facing current headwinds, what is your feeling of the long term future for this defense stock.
At 15 billion cap it certainly isn’t in league with big players, however I like it’s three core product lines.
Your opinion is most appreciated.

Q: Hi 5i,

FTG has had 2 good quarterly releases in a row now. Your last reply to a question re FTG (Oct 9) was just before they released Q3 numbers (Oct 10) (normally a quiet quarter).
Is there anything in their Q3 results to get excited about?
It looks like their transition activities for their last acquisition(s) is finally starting to contribute nicely.
Given the caveat that it is small cap, should one continue to watch this company (in this volatile market) or could one step in for a 1/3 position over the next 30-60 days (considering tax loss seasonality) given the lows of the stock price (down 38% YTD)?
There didn't seem to be much market reaction to the Q3 numbers but that could have been due to the market volatility ....or it simply went unnoticed.

Cheers,
Steve

Q: Hi team,
Just how big is this cloud anyway? Since IBM announced its purchase of Red Hat, it seems every tech stock and their brother claim to be a cloud company. I got several Seeking Alpha emails identifying about 20 or more companies that are now M&A candidates in the cloud. There are too many to list here, but two companies that I follow stood out to me; one that was there and one that was conspicuous by its absence.

I have been following DOCU for awhile. It was on the list. It seems it has a unique electronic signature software/platform that resides on the cloud and that would be an attractive functionality for bigger companies in the future for document authorization. The one that was absent from the list was BOX. I had been in that stock earlier the year but lost interest after erratic earnings. It looks like the risk/reward may be attractive here, but I just don’t see any real competitive advantage that it holds over many other cloud candidates. Earlier this year, you suggested that MSFT could potentially be interested. What sets BOX apart from many other cloud companies and is the outlook for DOCU and/or BOX enhanced or not by the IBM deal?

Thanks again for your thoughts,
dave

Q: PAT announced today a firm offering by CGC & others to purchase a large block of common shares along with warrants, etc. I currently own 20,000 shares of PAT which of course dropped nearly 14% this morning. However, I am still positive as I purchased at a much lower price. Would appreciate your expertise as to what position and or options I may have with respect to this transaction & in particular the Warrants. Thank you.
