Q: Hello,

I was wondering what your thoughts are on RHT given it's current price ( ~$2.22 as of today). Based on the most recent share count outstanding (81,871,000), this suggests an EV of about $180 MM for a company that is showing 6 month revenue of $1.1 MM. While I know that early stage companies are based on what the future holds, I also like to keep an eye on what EBITDA needs to be (in the future) to justify valuations. For instance, in the case of RHT, if one believes that within the next 12-24 months they can achieve EBITDA of ~ $12 MM, then this would suggest that today it is trading at a EV/EBITDA multiple of 15 based on future results. EBITDA of $12 MM in turn is achievable if they can hit ~ $20.5 MM in gross revenue with a 78% gross margin (as per most recent financials) and no increase in cash expenses of $4.0 MM annually, as 6 month financials suggest ~ $2.0 MM in cash expenses. In short, does your modelling of RHT suggest/indicate that this is a realistic expectation, and that within the 12-24 month time frame they can reach ~ $20 MM in gross revenue with no margin compression and no increase in cash G&A costs ?

Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i
I see you continue to be positive on RHT and recommend it at all near term prices.

With an effort to protect against downside movement in holdings owned, one of the technical rules I am working to utilize is to not purchase investments with declining stock prices.

What are your thoughts on buying RHT here ($2.23) and with the awareness of a price that appears to be undergoing a short term technical pullback. (potentially magnitude may be 1/3 of the rise)

Appreciate the service and your thoughts.
Dave

Q: I follow your balanced equity portfolio. Do not own RHT, WEF, Teck.b and CAE. Please rank in order of how I should purchase.

Q: Just an observation after following some frustrated posts the last few days. Members have the opportunity to add RHT today at what appears to be within $.04 of where you added to the portfolio. You guys definitely moved the market on it but this should be a lesson to subscribers to take your advice but be patient with it and wait for the right time to add to their own portfolio rather than rush to join the herd if there is an initial run up.

Q: Hi, RHT and VB were added to 5i Balanced and Growth portfolios, respectively, last week. Does it mean that the risk/growth profile of Versa Bank ( Growth) is higher when compared to Relique Health ( Balanced ) ? Any rationale, why this and not vice-versa.
Also, I could not find much information about Versa Bank in Q&A section. Could you please provide some more details/comments about this co. Thanks

Q: Hi, Now that RHT has been added to 5i portfolio, could you please provide an initial very brief summary on the company, including a possible 5i rating and growth expectations, specially there being no analyst coverage. Comments about the management will also be helpful. Share count seems to be large. What is the insiders and major institution holdings (separately) ? Considering that Patient Health Monitoring was touted by several high profile portfolio managers for a long time but at last, proved to be a huge disappointment to a large number of retail investors (including many of them being 5i subscribers), any relevant details will be most comforting. Thank You

PS: I know, you mentioned that there is no rush to buy/sell a stock based upon 5i portfolio changes. But, I did take a small position on Friday, but would love to have more insight/comfort before adding more. Tks

Q: Since you added RHT to the balanced portfolio this stock is up 30% and up 1852% for the year. At the same time PHM which as I understand is in the same business of patient home monitoring is down 19% for the year but down almost 90% in past 3 years. Please help me understand the different home monitoring care offered by these companies and can you please shed some light as to why the gross difference in performance.

Thank you for your service,

Steve

Q: Peter and Team:
Thanks for bringing this company on to my radar.
I have watch and listened to their CEO Lisa Crossley and was very impressed.

I was involved in the whole Patient Home Monitoring fiasco and therefore am somewhat wary of this company.

How would you compare the two?
Do you know how many patients they are currently servicing?
What do their basic financials look like last quarter?

Thanks

Phil

Q: I am considering selling my 4-5% position in gud and buying a 2-@1/2% position in each of cov and rht. I am not concerned with the fact that these 2 are small caps and gud is "much larger". I also have full positions in sis. exe and most recently pfe on the recent sell off. do you consider this to be a worthwhile move? I believe gud has had more than enough time, and opportunity imho ( there have been a few large distressed drug companies with assets for sale while gud has been twiddling their thumbs counting their cash) plus I do not want to be in the unenviable position of holding gud if or when you decide to replace it in your portfolios. I do have a lot of patience but the way I see gud they seem to waiting for a ridiculously cheap opportunity that may never happen.

on a side note, when searching for a 2 letter security on your search window many times I've had to scroll waaaaaaaaaaay down the list to find the company, there are 3 letter symbols no where close to the 2 letters put into search that come up before the desired company is listed, is this some kind of glitch that can be fixed?

thanks in advance
ps also thanks for creating the opportunity (obviously not on purpose) to buy syz at a discount on friday, lol.
