Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Peter and good crew. I would like to buy both RKN and Mnw, but insufficient for both. Please help me choose for an initial entry.

Q: What do you know about sphere 3d , would you buy it. Dave

Q: hello, sorry to say I have not been following you people as closely as I should have been!! but will rectify this. I see SYZ from the chart has had a nice run. I like the company profile, in your report. Are you still bullish on this stock? Also, do you see any near term catalyst to drive it higher? I am looking to take a position in it, with a little retrace, as of Fridays close..............Thank you, I like what you guys are doing

Q: Hello Peter and staff
I am tempted to buy wilan now.
what are your thoughts.You think there is more upside then downside on this stock and do you see a take over of some kind and and what suggestive price?

Q: Hi Peter -- would like your assessment of the recent move by NMW acquiring another hi tech company. It seems like a good fit, expanding Mitel reach into Europe with Cloud potential. Is it a worthwhile investment at this time or should one wait until the dust settles. Appreciate your nput. Many thanks, Jim

Q: re. Enwave (ENW-V) vs Urthecast (UR-T)

Analysts on BNN have recommended both stocks in the past few weeks. I fully understand that both generate little, or no, revenue and that any investment would be purely speculative in nature. My question is which co. are you more favorably inclined towards and why?

Thanks for your efforts on behalf of myself and other retail investors.

Q: There is always a lot of news on Apple but very little is said about Microsoft.. Would you consider MSFT to be a buy?

Q: re. EXFO Inc. (EXF-T)

I have a number of questions about EXFO Inc. First, what is your current opinion and insights about this company? I would also appreciate an explanation of their technology in layman terms. Finally, what is their competitive position in their industry?

Thanks, as usual, for your efforts on my behalf and, of course, other retail investors.

Q: When trying to evaluate the earnings per share and growth rate for a high tech co., do you look at the EPS, the Net Income/sh, the EBITDA/sh or perhaps something else? Would this apply to most other sectors as well? I'm under the impression that for O&G producers Funds From Operations is more important and perhaps for other sectors Free Cash Flow?
Thank you.

Q: Hi,

I bought CSCO last month, and am down 6% today, due to the big drop today on the missed Q1 and low guidance on Q2.

I'm ok holding long term, but was wondering if I should average down, or just leave it be for awhile.

Thanks

Q: MSFT- I held this one for a while and sold at $32 due to poor Q results and negative street view. It has steadily moved up to over $38 on what news? Announced to-day a deal to share software code through another tech company the ramifications of which I have no idea going fwd as it pertains to MSFT's EPS. I'd like to own a software stock and I am wondering if I should wait on this one as it pays a decent dividend with room to go higher??

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
I came across a company that reminds me of Wilan, its called Vringo, VRNG. They have a couple patent cases which could turn out good for them leading to potential one time rewards and also royalty revenue streams. At current prices would the risk reward be favourable if at all?

Q: AVO announced a bought deal at $24.10/share closing around Nov. 24th. the current price is $29.50. Will AVO gap down to the bought deal stock price of $24.10 as Nov. 24th approaches OR is that irrelevant?

Q: The merger with Mitel drew my attention to the cloud as an area of growth and I looked for smaller companies for greater zip. Does Sphere 3D Corp (ANY-V) seem like a reasonable company for growth? Bryon in Elmira

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
You have mentioned in previous answers, the reasons for the current price drop in AYA. How long do you think it will take for the stock price to recover? Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter,

Could you pls comment on sify.

Thanks

Q: ISign Media ($0.22) (ISD.V) is a tiny venture Co with an interesting data collecting and advertising model. Its share price doubled in the last 3 days on the news of private placement at $0.30 with warrant at $0.45 and another contract for installation of their data collecting antennas.

Here is a quote (Co PR):...Until the recent announcement by Apple of iBeacon and its latest iOS7 introduction, iSIGN has been virtually alone for the past five years in promoting Bluetooth® proximity broadcasting to mobile devices while capturing people's responses, with its original Bluetooth® IMS device, followed by its Smart Antenna with both Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi capabilities and recently announced Smart Player. Apple's announcement has led to an instant appreciation and mass awareness of Bluetooth® technology...

Do you feel this Co is worth a closer look?
Thank you
