Investment Q&A

Q: The 3rd q results look impressive. Please comment. The stock still seems quite cheap based on current earnings and outlook.

Q: To just add a comment to your reply today, in the last quarterly report the company disclosed that since the end of the last fiscal year it will increase the number of rental units from 26 to 58 by the end of December. Management of this company is terrific and experienced and they would not increase capital spending from $2 million at beginning of the year to $5.3 million by year-end unless they had confidence that they will need this significant ramp up.I expect that the 3rd q results release next week will add more colour to the business outlook or at least the capital budget for 2018. FWIW, I think QST deserves the same kind of evaluation metrics as Photon.

Q: QST has really started to move in the past 10 days. Could we get your assessment of what is driving the move and how confident one should be with the firm. It almost looks like the stars are starting to align for it (higher oil prices, new government methane gas reduction targets, proven technology). If it reports a strong quarter, what is the upside? Would you complete a position in it now?

Q: I have noticed that Questor's stock is hitting 52-week highs and the average trading volumes are on the rise over the last 3 months. Given its seller financial results year-to-date, rising market cap and strong balance sheet and its clean tech business, do you think the stock will get more attention again from bigger investors like it once had?

Q: Hi 5i - looks like an impressive quarter for QST with EPS doubling and 140% revenue growth. Would you start a position today even with the price bump?

Q: They issued strong 2nd q results today. There was not a news conference to add some "colour" to the numbers but the MD & A sounds upbeat. The Oil and Gas service sector is not very popular however their product is also green related and government regulated. Anything you care to add?

Q: QST - anything to explain weakness of late, particularly today? What's your take on the company going forward? O know they have good product.

Q: In the Globe today....
"CALGARY — New rules to reduce methane emissions from Canada’s energy sector will cost the industry an estimated $3.3-billion over the next two decades, and will hit conventional oil and natural-gas producers the most dramatically."

Will Questor be in line to benefit directly fromn this change?

Q: QST announced Q1 earnings this morning. Your comments please. Is this a good time to buy? Looks like they might have turned a corner.

Q: Can you tell me when QST next reports. Do you see any upside to the stock? I have a half position and thinking of a full position if there is some daylight ahead. I do like their technology but like my capital more. Is it worth investing?

thanks

Q: Are there any energy stock or new green energy stocks that are around a dollar or less then a dollar that u think would maybe make good run this year

Q: I would appreciate your updated opinion on Questor Technology. Thanks!

Q: TIME OF REPORT RELEASE
Do you have a policy on the time of day reports are issued? Specifically, are reports ever issued during the trading day? I noticed mid afternoon yesterday there was a report on QST. The report stated coverage was being terminated and the final rating was 'C'. The stock declined yesterday. If not done already, can I suggest that all reports be released 'off hours' so all members have an equal chance to review their contents and decide what they want to do with their holdings. When reports are issued during a trading day, it's a crap shoot whether you just happened to scan the reports section and if you were inclined to sell the stock, got lucky and beat the rush. If there was a policy, all members would feel they were on an equal footing.

If there already is a policy and I'm unaware of it, please re-state what it is.

thank you

Q: Hi!

I have a portfolio that has a few names I have held for some time that could be described as laggards and I'm not sure which of the group I should get rid of and deploy proceeds into something else. From the following list which stocks should I sell and move on from: CVE,TOU,SGY,AVO,G,ECA,QST,ALV ???

Q: Questor released Q3 and my first thought is that they looked better than expected including their outlook for Q4. Also their cash position has gone up since the beginning of the year. Your thoughts?

Q: Hi. I own QST and and am down more than 80%. Where do you see QST in 5 years from now? Would you sell it or add to an existing position at these levels? If so would you add to 1/2 position or full position? Thanks

Q: which companies benefit most from carbon tax please

Q: will you be doing a review of QST this year? If not is it a hold, or sell?

Thanks
Dolores

Q: Your thoughts on Q2 2016 results.

Q: Hi Peter & Associates!

I've held Questor for some time and the stock has fallen dramatically over the last couple of years. Would you recommend holding on to the stock or perhaps holding out in the event the stock recovers?
