Q: I picked up half a position on this stock on your suggestion. It ran up and away from me and I never got the gumption to buy the other half. It has been a nonstop mess of news/deals/upgrades right up into today. What do you think of it after today? That money I've set aside is burning a hole in my pocket!

Q: Although this UK, NASDAQ listed company is not in your usual wheelhouse, 5i (and Peter in particular) seem quite in tune with the tech area so I am hoping you can provide some information into this company.

It rose about 25% on Friday on its earnings report and has had stellar growth (I think) even without that bump. It is debt free and has money in the bank but does not yet turn a profit. I know individuals who deal with the company and they are quite impressed. Can you provide any further insight into this firm?

Appreciate all that you do.
