Q: LSPD previous high was in August of last year at a price near $50. Recently there has been positive news, such as M and A, expanded offices and services in Toronto and Vancouver.

Q: I own CSU, DSG, ENGH, OTEX, SHOP, LSPD, KXS and STS and was thinking of adding GIB.A once the stock settles down a bit. I'm looking to increase my tech sector . Would you add to the existing holdings or would you recommend adding GIB.A to take advantage of the recent pullback?
Thanks for your service.

Q: You continue to comment favorably about this company but they never make money. Latest quarter was a loss of $2.7m - up from $1.5m a year ago. Why do you never mention this? If you take out Goodwill and Intangible assets the equity is a negative $144m. I know you will say a lot of this is because of acquistions but if they can not make those turn a profit why do you give them such good ratings an commentary?

Q: I would appreciate your opinion of the two ETF's above. They seem to be doing very well, but not a large Market Cap for an ETF, and very small average volume. I am looking for an Emerging Markets ETF with monthly income, and good returns. FDE fits the bill, but I am not sure about the volume and Market Cap. I would appreciate your insight. Thanks for your help.

Many thanks
