Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi 5i - I have a well balanced portfolio with good performance thanks to you good folks at 5i. I'd like to put a little bit of 'mad money' into two or three high risk, high reward names, fully understanding the risk of losing it all. Are there any names in the Canadian or US markets that come to mind?

Q: Hello Team 5i!

Can I have your opinion on Grande West Transportation. The stock was recently highlighted in a research report on Globe Investor. Company is looking to capture new market share with niche mid-size city buses to replace current full size ones made by competitors that operate 80% empty most of the time. The company is apparently qualified for the Buy America program, looking to the US to drive growth and is at the cusp of great earnings. Seems interesting. The next New Flyer (or their next acquisition)? The time to get on the bus or stay at the curb?

Thanks for all your help.

Dave

Q: Hi Team,

I would like add a high risk/high reward micro cap stock to my portfolio, and would not be crushed at all if I lose a good chunk of my investment should the stock end up tanking.

All 3 of these stocks have had great runs, but I'm leaning toward rolling the dice on FLY. BUS seems the riskiest to me given the huge influx of orders and lack of a lengthy track record of being in business. FTG seems the least risky, but not sure if its growth rate would be comparable to the other 2 companies.

Which of these 3 do you think has the best growth potential for a long term hold? And what other speculative micro cap high growth names do you like right now?

Also, generally speaking, over a similar time frame (say 5 or 10 years) do you think it is easier for a micro cap company to increase its share price from $0.25 cents a share to $0.50 cents a share, vs. a larger company's ability to increase its share price from $25 to $50 a share?

Final question is what are the key metrics you guys look at when trying to evaluate micro caps that often aren't quite profitable yet?

(I understand if you dock me for a few questions here - its all good!)

Q: Hello, Lucara sent out a press release today indicating completion of sale of 12 large diamonds totalling $38+ million. Wondering how you feel this will impact the stock price.
Also, I note a large run up in price of Grande West Transportation. Anything other than recent sales (incl USA)? Could this be a New Flyer proxy?
Thank you,
Brian

Q: Question 1:Pki has a 5% yield while atd.b is minimal, would atd.b grow significantly enough to overcome the yield difference. If you had to choose one over the other which one would it be? Do you think atd.b will have to do a financing soon?
Question 2: Have you heard of BUS-X Grande West transportation, if so what are your thought on this company, is it likely to be a baby nfi?
Thank you
Lynda
