Investment Q&A

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

Q: How material is the announcement of a settlement in the dispute over intellectual property (Photon Control Announces Completion of Settlement Agreement with Photon R&D [source: CW]) to the medium-term prospects for PHO?

This has been a long-term, ultimately successful, investment for me which I started buying in 2006 for an average price of $0.18, so volatility is not a big concern.

Thanks for your informative insight.

Q: Hello Team 5i!

Can I have your opinion on Grande West Transportation. The stock was recently highlighted in a research report on Globe Investor. Company is looking to capture new market share with niche mid-size city buses to replace current full size ones made by competitors that operate 80% empty most of the time. The company is apparently qualified for the Buy America program, looking to the US to drive growth and is at the cusp of great earnings. Seems interesting. The next New Flyer (or their next acquisition)? The time to get on the bus or stay at the curb?

Thanks for all your help.

Dave

Q: TOS recently released results with revenue up from 0.15 million to 3.75 with a loss of $0.02.

Revenue growth is massive (albeit from a very low number). Is this growth expected to continue? Where will/could this company be in 1 - 3 years? Any idea when they expect to have positive earnings?

I'm a holder (~1% of portfolio) and wondering if I should add. I personally like the technology and progress of the company thus far but continue to seek your input.

Thanks

Q: AcuityAds (AT.v) reported excellent quarterly and year-end operating results this week, while showing impressive growth and execution from its acquisition of 140 Proof. Their acquisition of U.S.-based Visible Measures announced on Thursday seems unbelievably cheap and financing it at a 6% discount very reasonable. Liquidity remains an issue though some of the founders are releasing more of their extensive holdings as part of today's financing to increase supply.

Is 5i getting closer to having a look under the hood?

Q: Hi, you had commented a while back on Market Call that you needed to "do more work" on AcuityAds to look at growth potential versus valuation. Since there there has been additional news, including an aquisition today as well as the opening of an office in Europe. Have you had a chance yet to look at the company in more detail, and if so what is your current view? The CEO looks top-notch to me and they seem to be laying out a good path forward to make this a much bigger company.
