Q: In Nov IRO.v reported TTM EPS of $0.11USD for Q3 & it closed on Friday at $0.485. It appears to be extremely cheap with a P/E of roughly 3x. Fundamentals have been improving each quarter. They have some debt from the transformational acquisition of Papillon in 2016 but have been paying it down rapidly in 2017. With these key points above, I think it deserves some further consideration.

Another subscriber had asked about IRO in January & 5i said “At less than $10M market cap, we would completely avoid IRO.” Yes I agree, it’s a very illiquid microcap but that does not concern me because I’m not buying million of shares. I recently purchased a few thousand shares in my TFSA account. I thought it has potential to be a 4bagger this yr. Do you really think it should be avoid & why?

Q: Hi,
I'm looking for 1 or 2 industrials with a good & growing dividend. I already hold CNR, TRI & XTC. I'm not interested in WSP.
Thanks,

Q: Hi 5i team - I have held Surge Energy for quite a long time and it has been a disappointing stock. Even with the lower oil and gas prices there are others that have at least held their own. Are there two or three similar companies that have had a better performance record and perhaps better upside. I am planning to sell Surge and buy something that has performed better if you think this is a sensible strategy. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i what are the estimates for doo, dol, pbh. Thanks Kim

Q: We hold ALA - SPB and CGX...we are thinking of selling SPB and CGX to buy ALA...we would be doing this in a cash account so would be o.k. on tax ....the thinking being that when altagas completes its deal for WLG the stock should do very well plus we would increase our dividend yield on this account...can you please give us you take on this trade and thanks again for a great service....gene

Q: I undertand that Irhythm Technologies, a US medical device/technology company, is far beyond the normal scope of your stock analysis. However it appears that the company is combining heart monitoring and analytics through a simple patch. This appears to be a significant development but...
I would appreciate your comments on the company if you venture into this sector of the market.
With gratitude for your assistance to retail investors.

Thank you.

Q: Purely, on the basis of which company has the best prospects for capital gains going forward, should I buy Enbridge or Fortis at these levels. Or should I take a position in both? Why?
As always, thanks for your valued opinion!

Q: Hello, just want to ckeck with you if my calculations of the debt / cash flow ratio of Enb is exact? I obtain a ratio of 9.2 and here is how I get it using data from Tmx Money: Long term debt of 60.8 B / Net cash from continuing operations of 6.6 B = 9.2 ratio. If that is what you have, are we in dangerous territory? Thanks, Gervais

Q: Hi Peter and gang.
What do you think of ProMetic’s medical application and technology?

Secondly, does ProMetic have the financial strength to survive until they can turn a profit? I see analyst consensus is they won’t be profitable until 2020 / 2021.

Lastly, are there any 2018 red flags or developmental milestones we can be on the lookout for to monitor the viability of ProMetic as an investment?

Thanks.

John

Q: Could you recommend 5 growth and/or income companies that are debt free? I currently hold CGY which, I believe is debt free. Thank you.

What do you think about buying these 2 stocks at the present time for a long term hold or would you wait.
Thank you, John.

Q: Hopefully, your research will recognise the first 3 NASDAQ listings. Based on the continuing manic disorder in the Land of the Free & the Home of the Brave I am planning on certain substantial changes in our US investments. The major tax changes certainly provide new opportunities & I would appreciate your evaluation & assessment of the 4 individual choices I am considering. Thank you.
