Q: Peter, NVC ctarted trading yesterday on the NASDAQ with 125m shares moving, symbol NVCN. They still do not make, and in fact still lose money. Do you still think it is best to await profitability before jumping in, despite the added exposure. Thanks

Q: Peter and all,

A pointed question on AVO: I took a small position at the end of 2013 and between the curious equity raise, the poorly handled executive exits and the rotation out of growth stocks I am down 36 per cent. But I still like the company's technology, and its most recent numbers were solid. The question: I am considering doubling down to cost average around $25. Would you do it if you were in my shoes? Or is there more rotation downside and/or taint to the stock from the various blunders?

Thank you!

Q: Re avigilon, i was told they started to capitalize the r&d , according to new accounting rules, did not tell the market, some people got spooked and some hedge funds were shorting the stock.
As for new purchases with all their cash, i am also told there is not much out there except small add ons.
I totally get that this stock is way kversold on fear etc, but could you comment on the above. Dave

With WiLan's strategic review completed and the dividend increased, what would you recommend one do with the stock?
Continue to hold, or sell now and move on?

Thanks.

Q: I know you have answered a lot of questions recently about Avigilon (AVO), but I feel compelled to ask one more anyway. The price continues to drop every day with no relief. In the absence of any news form either the company or any other source, is there some price point or percentage drop at which you might simply consider it wise to cut the loss and get out? There doesn’t seem to be any buyers stepping in and at some point shouldn’t an investor give some credence to the combined wisdom of the market? I find it worrisome that in the face of the market reaction the company has not put out any type of clarification or press release that might calm investors.

Q: I took a fairly large position in avigilon 19.20, i have read all your comments, but the stock is acting like maybe the whole company is a scam and a sham.i know their earnings were good, the stock is down by half since its high, so why does this capitulation keep going on, it cannot be because the cfo resigned because of health reasons,avigilon is acting like a u.s. Stock that sometimes gets hammered way beyond what it deserves. Your comments. Dave

Q: AVO - bottom line

Obviously, everyone is out considerable (% wise) with the recent "decent after news" scenario.

If you were in our/my shoes Peter, and you down 35%, would you sell and be done with it, sit tight and take the long term view (what I want to do) or buy more at these relatively discounted prices?

Thanks for all you do Peter and Family

Q: SUM question: Very happy to see Solium Capital on a big rise the last two days but no news to support it. Any idea why this is happening? Thanks.

Q: How do you view the chances of a competitor (or another company wanting AVO's technology) acquiring Avigilon? I believe in the past you said this was probably the end result for Avigilon.

It seems to have a unique technology offering and after a nearly 50% decline in the share price it would seem like an opportune time.

Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I just read an article about a satellite company offering a free tracking service for aircraft that fly over the sea: "U.K. satellite company Inmarsat is offering a free tracking service to all passenger airlines -- an issue that drew international attention after Malaysian Airlines' MH370 disappeared on March 8."
In your estimation, does this hurt Flyht's(FLY) prospects?
