Investment Q&A

Q: Just a follow-up to John's question on KXS earlier today regarding the decrease in Professional Services Revenue. I'm under the impression this is a strategic initiative by the company and should in no way be construed as a negative.
Below is the press release from their 2nd quarter earnings release explaining the initiative.
"Second, our strategic partners are increasing their role in deploying new customer implementations, and gaining the related Professional Services revenue as a result. This positive trend has occurred earlier than we anticipated - which in turn has reduced our outlook for professional services revenue growth for 2017. While this has a short-term revenue impact – we are excited by the acceleration of partner contributions to our business. This also creates a stronger mix of subscription revenues in our business model."

Q: Good Morning Team, Thanks for this site update truly a one-stop shop! Great!
Would like your thought on SNC latest results. Thank-you in advance. Sam

Q: I quote from the latest release, "Professional services revenue was $7.4 million in Q3 2017, a decline of 17%". With other metrics rising, how could this be?

Q: Please comment on earnings. Thank you.

Q: I try to maintain a diversified portfolio. However, I am wondering when you refer to owing "materials" what role metals and other mineable resources should play. For example, I tend not to own metals or mining stocks but instead, I choose to invest in other materials such as chemicals (MX) or lumber (SJ) (and maybe even including CCL as your portfolios list it as materials).

Am I getting "proper" diversification this way or should one also invest in gold, silver, copper assets etc?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: I just signed myself up with a cryptocurrency trading platform called coinbase. I'm not that comfortable with the sign up process, feel like I could be susceptible to identity theft because of the area its in. Do you think this is a good choice to use for trading bitcoin. They claim to be the most popular way to buy and sell bitcoin.
