Q: Market is down so which stocks due see unfairly punished and will be good to pick up.
Q: Hi 5i,
I hold some Callidus (CBL) and I am inclined to keep holding and collecting the dividends while management works on growing the business and works out some kind privatization deal that they will find acceptable. I noticed though that my online broker recently updated its indication of the number of floating shares, reducing it from 12M to 9.24M. Aside from liquidity issues, are there any risks (for shareholders like me) associated with the share float becoming too small? Also, what is the extent of the short interest in the stock and, if indicated in percentage terms, is that a percentage of the issued shares or a percentage of the floating shares? Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i:
Any recent news on Gildan, other than the resignation of a Director? He went to UnderArmour I think, so that should not cause any sudden drops in the stock.
