Investment Q&A

Q: PNG recently did a $10M "bought deal" financing at $.67. If it is a "bought deal" does that mean Canaccord are in essence buying $10M worth of newly issued shares at $.67 and they are getting a big discount (prior market was $.78-.80)? Will Canaccord be re-selling these shares to clients at a premium to themselves or just adding them to their own portfolios? Also, if Cannacord have already bought the shares why is the market reacting so negatively? Is it because of the dilution? Last but not least why such a big discount for Canaccord?

Q: Hi crew, what 5-10 micro-cap stocks have the biggest runway for growth? How about small cap?

Thank you,
Kevin

Q: Hi Team, thoughts on Krakens announcements of today. They seem to be on a roll and h as very just hit $100 million market cap.
Do you recommend at this new level?
Thanks
Rob

Q: Your thoughts on PNG? Its small....But is there opportunity?

Thanks as always

Dave

Q: Kraken - Current earnings appear to show modest revenue despite a significant contract announcement some while ago, so I am wondering about the growth prospects for this company. What I would like to ask is whether the market for Kraken's products provide a good opportunity for growth or is it inherently small/limited in prospects?
Greenlane appears to be struggling to break even notwithstanding improving revenue, a (significantly?) larger backlog and what I would call an outstanding quote book which borders on the gigantic. How do you view the prospects for GRN as well as XBC, assuming they don't get Trumped like Questor?
Re DOC and WELL I have been trying to determine whether these two have the same/similar business models or not, as the more recent announcements by DOC have been on the acquisition of clinics to support a team, which appears to be a collaborative model for medical services, while WELL's emphasis appears to be on digital records and remote services. Do these two occupy the same space or are they inherently different and might one offer better prospects than the other?
Thank you for your responses.

Q: I am always interested in penny stocks with actual earnings that seem overlooked by the market. Are you aware of any reasons why this stock is so continually overlooked or, conversely, any upcoming activity that might burst the stock out of its sub-$.25 status?

Q: Can you provide some analysis on Kraken robotics with the recent announcement of 40 Million orders which is nearly 2X of their current annual revenue. Is the price supposed to increase 2X as well?

Thanks,

Q: Hi 5i - appreciate your thoughts on Kraken Robotics given recent insider buying and decent Q1 results. Worth a small entry position at this point as part of a small cap growth portfolio? Thanks

Q: I have what I call a mini portfolio of higher risk stocks in addition to my portfolio of diversified quality portfolio.
I presently hold ATE, AKU, PNG. I want to add 3 oil stocks to this portfolio. Thinking maybe, VET, MEG and NVA. Opinion. Any other likely candidates in the smal/mid cap. Candidates should be less than $5 and a good hedge position to protect them over the next 6 months.

Q: Good morning, I hold these smaller cap companies in my TFSA for more aggressive growth, a strategy I believe you endorse.
In this new reality, I am thinking of a more conservative approach and selling the above and converting to FTS, RY, XRE, SLF.
If things recover well I will get a great pop on the big caps without the individual company risk associated with the smaller caps. If things go poorly with the recovery, my large cap mix should drop a lot less than the smaller caps.
Also, any of the above smaller caps that you do not like.

Thanks
Rob

Q: I have the following securities in what I consider a balanced portfolio. The fixed income portion doesn’t show here because it consists of OAS. CCP. Plus two other pensions.
I’m thinking of sell part position in MMX ( small loss);and ARE to realize a capital loss while at the same time raising some cash for the next pullback. I like TFII . We need to keep the food chain moving. Trucking an important part . The other is cargo jet. Am I on the right track . Your opinion. Or would you look elsewhere given the current holdings.

Q: I hold the above equities. I have additional funds to allocate. Your suggestions please. Take this opportunity to thank Peter for a great job, very reliable.
I would not want to add to my positions in ECN.PR.A , ENB, PNG ,& LSPD because of weighting’s and/or risk.

Q: Hi Peter and Crew
Thank you for your excellent work. We have PHO, PNG and GSI. Thinking of adding CTS to this mix. (this is our small cap fund) Love the growth in CTS and we can hold for five years. What do you think of the choice or any other ideas that may be better.
PS
Thanks for Shop:) wow!!
cheers
Ken and Cindy

Q: The vanguard ETFs make up 13% of my portfolio. In the tech space I own PNG & LSPD.
A little bit overweight in both due to increase in value . If I were to buy another tech stock which would you suggest. My portfolio contains mostly dividend stocks with some Growth. My biggest risk would be if interest rates were to rise.

Q: You sometimes mention that a particular stock would be OK for a basket of small-cap stocks. I am intrigued. I think you mean like a mini ETF where you track the whole as one investment. I think I have done something like that with a very tiny portion of my overall investments. I have a separate little portfolio with these 4 stocks, KUT, QST, MTLO, PNG. This group has been doing well so far this year with the exception of KUT. But I am interested to learn what stocks you might suggest for such a “basket”. Also how many stocks would you put in it?

Q: Hello 5i team. Purchased 20,000 shares of this stock in July 2018. Compelling technology and story. And really, how can you not cheer for a nascent Canadian success story headquartered on the rock? Semi-patient investor with long time horizon. Do you have any information that would allow you to provide insights for 2020? Fully expect a roller a bit of a roller coast on this one.

Q: Hi 5 I Team,

Pls comment on Kraken Robotics quarterly earning?

Thanks you for your professional service.

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan
We like this little company, especially the name. The batteries seem to have worked out very well. What do you think of a five year hold. Seem to be very smart people.
thanks
Ken and Cindy

Q: Hi, how significant is the recent news about a new contract? Also, reading between the lines it seems it's a contract from the Canadian government. If so, what do you think the risk is of this going away if a miracle happens and there is a change in government later this month?

Q: Hi folks, Kraken Robotics is way off the highs, but also rebounded off the recent lows. Can I please get update on your view of company going forward, and in your opinion, is stock a Buy/Hold/Sell. Thanks as always, jb Piedmont Que.
