Q: I got an avalanche of questions on small cap companies that you probably don't even cover but I've been doing some research and this one popped up. What are the metrics you like about it? What do you think of the industry? And it's competitors. CEO seems to have been doing alot of buying and a huge surprise upside on the last earnings release. Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter and co,

I am doing a bit of overdue portfolio clean-up in a TFSA. (long time horizon) - considering selling these holdings and would like your thoughts:

GUD - loss of 28%, but it has moved up significantly the last few days. Keep, Sell now, or Wait (if it has further upside)?

FRII - 80% loss (ouch), but is up 65% since late Oct 2020. Keep, Sell now, or Wait?

FTG - 5% loss after years of holding, but is up 40% since late Oct 2020. Keep, Sell now, or Wait?

VSR - 40% loss, thought its prospects were compelling, but disappointed so far. Keep, Sell now, or Wait?

ENGH - 122% gain, but it has drifted lower since summer 2020. Keep, Sell now, or Wait?

Thanks again for your excellent service!

Q: Hi 5i

I would like to take a position in AC, but I'm worried about Canada’s vaccine rollout. I don't see a resumption to normalized traffic this year. My guess is they might hit 50% capacity late this year, and that might be aggressive. Can tell me how long AC can last with current monthly cash flow burn before they have to raise more money? Also can you provide your best estimates to traffic for 2021 and 2022.

Thx

Q: In your response to Chris on PE, could you add forward ratios under the "Valuation Ratios" and "Price To Comparisons" categories, where it makes sense of course?

If we used NVDA as an example, the PE ratio shows 76 while it looks like Fwd FY1 is 48 and FY2 is 43, roughly.

It would also be nice to see any sector/industry ratios or any other comparison numbers.

Thx
