Q: Hi Team - XTC has been a frustrating stock. It's a half billion dollar company with a low valuation, but it's price has languished below 12 dollars. Do you have any insight into why it's such a thin trader, and why there's resistance to moving to a higher valuation? The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that it's pretty easy to manipulate a stock with such low volume.

Thanks for your long term and very valued service!

Q: Hi 5i team, just read your recent report on XTC. How can you explain the higher multiples for XTC versus the three others: growth is currently favored by the market over size, value and more diversification? What would you expect the stabilized P/E to be over the long run for them? Higher and lower for which of these? Thank you, Eric

Q: Good Morning I was listening to the Linamar conference call and the results are very impressive, in fact, the dividend was increased by 20%. The share price dropped over 2% this morning which is surprising. May I have your impressions?
Would MG (PE 7.4) or XCO (PE 10) be more advantageous vs LNR (PE 7.5)?
Thank you
Marty

Q: Hi 5i, I hold BOS in a non-registered account and can claim a 40% loss. It seems to be recovering at the same rate as XTC. What is your opinion of replacing BOS with XTC at this time? Are these two comparable?
Thanks for your guidance.

Q: Is there some news in DHs strategic review which would account for the lathe drop yesterday and today? Is it worth holding any longer and if you had to sell Dh or Xtc which would you let go first and why?
Thank you.

Q: I am trying to decide between BCI and XTC for my TFSA. From my analysis BCI has better metrics (FCF/Capital Invested, P/FCF FCF/Sales,margins) but what worries me is the intrinsic value. Using Graham number Earnings Power Value and DCF analysis I get a stock price in the $10 range for BCI, where as for XTC it appears to trade close to or below intrinsic value. Which would you go for? Should I be worried about the intrinsic value?
