Q: re GPRO.US GoPro Just a comment for Gordon's question of Aug 24th as a long time GoPro user ( and camera enthusiast). The company is very poor at inventory control, lax in their customer service and downright bad at following up on promises. I would stroll down to your local camera shop and see if they actually have any GoPro inventory, of anything but 3rd party accessories! As 5i pointed out, GoPro is a good little product but the larger companies with better supply chains are developing competitive products and I suspect they will eat GoPro's lunch. GoPro seems to be having difficulty "growing up".

Q: Could I have you thoughts on Jason Industries, Inc. (JASN). The company current operations are categorized into 4 distinct industry sectors, Finishing (26%) Seating (24%) Acoustics (30%) Components (20%.) The company seems to have a good management and board. The forward numbers look good and valuations look cheap. I always look forward to reading your posts and hard work. Thank you Jason

Q: hello,

I'm interested in buying an industrial stock or etf to fill a hole in my portfolio. I was considering Honeywell or Trinity Industries. What do you think of them as a long term hold or is there another stock/etf that you prefer? Or a Canadian one?

Thanks for the great work,

Gtaeme

Q: Peter and Team. Love this service and recommend it as often as I can.

Do you have a preference re IGV.US verses XLK.US ? I am a well diversified investor with the exception of tech and don't want to be a stock picker in this segment. An ETF seems the best way to play tech for me.

Many thanks, Nancy

1) Would you view this company as a trade or as a investment ( And why )

2) What would you consider as an entry point

Any additional thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Q: re: DDD & DASTY ... and digital printing industry (DPI) in general

Morning 5i Team

I think we can all agree the DPI in general has a bright future in our everyday life. Let's face it. One day instead of plugging in a tape to watch a movie, you will have a box that allows you to record and download movies or shows anytime you want then watch them days later.

Soon, when you need a small tool you can simply go to your digital printer and make it in the kitchen.

But as always with new technology, while in it's infancy no one knows which company will be a player and which company will no longer exist when the technology becomes affordable and really starts to take off.

I read an article yesterday regarding the education system planning on using digital printing in the classroom... an ideal application. Did you see anything on this information and if so, do you feel it may be a catalyst to start us towards DP's becoming become part of our everyday life?

And which of the aforementioned stocks do you think have the best chance too take advantage? Is there another company we should be aware of that could be a serious player?

Plus any other thoughts you may have regarding the future of the DPI. Someone is going to make allot of money. Any chance it could be us?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Hi Peter &Co
I hold KMR in a TFSA. Some of the news on Consolidation of Kinder Morgan express concern the the US IRS may be taxing Capital gains on these shares retroactively.

Do you have any insights into IRS acting to tax Inversions such as this. Perhaps you Bloomberg terminal would have some timely advice on this. I could sell the shares before the inversion closes, but hate to jump at shadows.

I realize you are not US tax experts but you might have run into useful 3rd party advice that would be helpful.

Regards
Ernie
