Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

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?

Q: Hello Peter & Team, what did you think of the Redknee (RKN) quarter just reported? Can we annualize the 5 cent quarterly eps and deduct 20 cents as the annual eps running rate (implying a 23 x PE ratio? What do you make of valuation? Many thanks, Keith

Q: Avigilon AVO
I recall the same comments being said about another fantastic growth stock, Poseidon Concepts.
-market leading technology
-high multiple growth stock
-huge earnings growth

The timing is way too coincidental having the CFO resign right before releasing earnings. Unless he`s dead, health reasons is a bunch of BS.

Peter, is your team able to dig deeper and recognize any red flags for accounting irregularities? I noticed inventories have increased and they also recently did a share issue. Could the share issue have been one final grasp for cash?

The market is rarely wrong, over the longer term. CFO departures alone should not drop a stock 20% after the announcement.

Q: Are AVO and HYG a hold, sell, or average down? In the case of AVO, how did they hide what appears to me to be ongoing problem? The stock was highly talked about and recommended in the media. In the case of HYG, I had a stop limit in at 4.12 - 4.06, which went through and continued down May 7th.
Your thoughts.
