Q: Hello team, How would this news released yesterday (19 April) affect PHM? Worth holding?
Thank you!

...announced today that it has promoted Greg Crawford to the position of Chief Operating Officer.

In finalizing the post-closing payments for the previously announced acquisition of Patient-Aids, PHM and Mr. Crawford have agreed to amend the original purchase agreement which required PHM to pay approximately $11.4 million to Mr. Crawford in a combination of cash and shares over two payments in April and October 2016.

Under the amending agreement, Mr. Crawford has elected to receive all of the remaining consideration due under the original purchase agreement for 33,758,952 shares in addition to stepping into his new role as Chief Operating Officer. As a result, total insider ownership will exceed 20%. In addition, PHM will issue to an arms-length party 285,000 shares associated with the closing of the amendment. The foregoing transactions are subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Q: Between these two companies, which one has more potential in the next 3-5 years, without taking on two much risk?

Great job on the changes to your website. I'm resistant to change so the transition is slow for me, but I'm starting to really like it :)

Q: Hello,

I had a portfolio with 40 Canadian stocks and it was just too many. For one thing it was too hard to follow them all and because my canadian equities only represent 60% of my portfolio, I didn't benefit much when one of the stocks did well. I've been working towards 25-28 names, selling the ones I don't want as they recover and adding them to the other positions.

I have one too many tech stocks and am trying to figure out which one to drop. I'm starting think it should be CSU as it seems to have topped out and doesn't have much organic growth. What are your thoughts on this?

My current tech stocks are OTC, ESL, CSU, SYZ, GIB, SH and TNC. Yesterday I added to OTC, ESL and SH.
