Q: As a comment to Neil who wrote about SYZ, as a fellow chartist - who never made a lot of money reading charts and is trying to take a more fundamentalist approach (thanks 5i), to add to your woes, there is a Head and Shoulders formation trying to form on the weekly chart. If the price drops below about 6.70 it will have completed. Also, on the daily chart, there is an intermediate triangle in place - the bulls and bears have less than a week to decide who will win out; since the downtrend is still in place, the bears will like prevail.

My observation about Fundamentalists and Technical Analysts is that all professionals never lose site of either, only emphasize one over the other. 5i wrote a few weeks back, that us Techies usually want to "market time" which he stated he does not believe in.

Q: Re: SYZ
Long time (close to original?) subscriber, just renewed for two more years. Thank you for providing the subscriber discount - it again shows your ethics and the fairness with which you treat your subscribers (which is in addition to the great info you provide).
Anyway, enough of the accolades.
Sylogist (a member of your portfolio) has been pretty much sideways since August. Technically, (sorry, I'm a bit of a chartist - I know you aren't) it has fallen below its 20 and 50 day moving averages and is showing significant negative divergences on both MACD and RSI. (Not good technical signs). While I appreciate you may be "comfortable" with the stock here, my question is what do you see as being necessary to move this stock upward and what might be the chances of that happening.
Though I ask very few questions, I really appreciate your responses.
Thank you
Neil

Q: hello, sorry to say I have not been following you people as closely as I should have been!! but will rectify this. I see SYZ from the chart has had a nice run. I like the company profile, in your report. Are you still bullish on this stock? Also, do you see any near term catalyst to drive it higher? I am looking to take a position in it, with a little retrace, as of Fridays close..............Thank you, I like what you guys are doing

Q: Hi Peter et al
RE: SYZ

I'm looking to add a little to my small cap I.T. exposure. I'm having trouble deciding between SYZ (which I know you recommend) and RedKnee (RKN). Redknee is a bit larger, SYZ pays a dividend. Both have performed very well over the last year. Your thoughts on which you may prefer would be most appreciated. Thanks as always.
Neil

Q: While *VERY* happy with the performance of my Sylogist (v.syz) holdings, I must say that judging by its web site, it is one of the most non-promotional companies in which I have invested. Not that I am keen on unwarranted hype but sending investors to SEDAR for everything of consequence for instance indicates little desire to attract the attention of investors (but yes it does save on expenses). Perhaps they are saving themselves for the day that they intend to apply for a listing on the TSX. Question: Roughly when do you foresee Sylogist applying to move up to the TSX?
TIA.
