Q: I know photon is a cyclical and will come and go with the semi sector, but at an EV of 70million making almost 2 million in interest alone, the company would trade at 50x earnings without even their core business. would you still expect them to remain profitable, even with a very weak sector?
Q: Good Morning -- With Black Friday upon us combined with Best Buy's recent pullback -- can you see this as a short term trade if it gets a nice bounce?

Q: I have held HBC for a couple of years and wonder why it trades at such a low price. It has $4 billion in property, plant and equipment but that doesn't seem to be reflected in its stock price. On the common shares along it is worth over $20/share. What am I missing here?
Q: is the decline in largo price related to the warrant conversion to shares announced today and when the warrants are converted this causes an increase in share count, am i correct and then with more shares issued the stock goes down to reflect that. dave
Q: I invested late Oct at the top of the graph curve and am now down 35% because they issued new equity, diluting my share values. I am not panicking bec I think this relatively new firm has a future and knows how to set it self up nationally and internationally which new capital.
Do you agree with my optimism ?? Pls justify it.

Q: So, really beaten down on CPG at this point. I guess the lesson is to pick a sell point perhaps. My view is long term (ie. hold for 15+ years). I bought at an average cost of around $15. In your view should I ditch this, continue to hold, or double down at what seems like basement prices? Even 2 years ago when oil was trading for less CPG was triple where it is now. What gives?
Q: I can see that I was one of many concerned about Nvidia's reporting later that day. Peter wrote in on Nov. 15 in the morning asking about analyst's expectations on Nvidia's numbers. You told him it was 1.92 EPS and 3.2B for revenue. These numbers didn't mean anything to me. I hope the next time you can elaborate such as these numbers don't look good or they do look good, etc.. Or when companies that 5i clients own and they have a possible bad number reporting, you could make note of that ahead of time. Thank you Dennis
