Investment Q&A

Q: Rainwater Equity ETF (NYSE): As a new ETF invested in mid/large cap companies, in sectors with reliable recurring revenues less sensitive to equity market fluctuations, this would likely be a good defensive stock to own. Is there a comparable ETF/Company based in Canada?

Q: RenoWorks (RW-TSXV) develops and distributes digital visualization software for the renovation and new home construction industry - clients can visualize and evaluate various alternatives (e.g. colours, textures, materiels etc.) making it a lot easier to 'close the deal'. They claim that the digital visualization software imaging industry is currently in its infancy with few independent participants who match the breadth of their offerings. Insiders own ~ 50%.

Their year-end (and Q4) report on Friday showed significant progress - Q4 revenue was up 67% yoy with recurring revenue representing 56%. Though still in a net loss situation, they were Adjusted EBITDA positive for Q3 and Q4, as well as for 2016 overall.

Would appreciate your always well-measured take on this microcap.

Thanks
