Q: Recently, 5i has supported members' suggestions to switch out of JNJ into something else given the legal difficulties that JNJ faces. I generally like to hold indefinitely; given this anticipated time frame, and my preference for safety and a good/growing dividend, do you think I should switch as well? Do you view the alternatives I've listed as less or more risky than JNJ overall? Are there non-pharmaceutical alternatives in the US healthcare space that would provide an equally secure and growing dividend that you would recommend? Thank you.

Q: Hi,
Thanks for the past tips to get into Savaria, I’m up 70% on it right now. They seem to have a hard time breaking through $17. Do they have anything solid in the works that you think will push it higher with support or do you think the best part of this ride is over? I haven’t held it long and don’t need the cash for anything, but would like to see continued solid returns. I know the returns here aren’t typical, but do you see somewhere else to better send the money or is it a hold for a while still?

Thanks

Q: Sangoma released preliminary numbers for fiscal 2018 which tops guidance. Based on management's comments on the current EBITDA quarterly run rate, the the current stock price seems deeply undervalued based on EV/EBITDA with net cash on hand metric, revenue multiple and M&A history. Do you agree?
