Q: Hi Peter,

SIS has grown to about 9% of my portfolio from an initial 6% and wondering if you think there's any more upside? My full positions are 5-7% so wondering if I should continue to hold or trim my position?

On the other hand GUD is down 20% and wondering if I should add more here or start a new position in CLS (I'm low on tech) if I do trim SIS. All of these are/will be in my TFSA.

Also, wondering about ECN, what will it take for it to break out above $4? It seems to be stuck below $4 for a long time now. I hold this in my RRSP.

Thanks for your advice as always.

Q: I own alot of shares in this company outside any tax sheltered plan. I have lost over 20% and am considering selling to take the loss against next years taxes. I realize the company has had alot of turnover in the last month, but it just seems dead in the water. Any thoughts on continuing to own or would you sell and buy something else?

Q: They announced the hiring of a new president recently. The article mentioned that the new hire had a background in growing the cloud business at his previous company. Was this hiring part of an orderly transition at the company and does his background suggest a new direction for the company or just a good fit for what has always been going on there? Can we expect a little "spark" to this company now?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: As a follow up to my question on Big Wind Capital, my understanding is that it’s halted right now as it has a DA to acquire 49% of Hill Top Security.

It will come back on the exchange with a US listing as well, new name, Hill Top Cybersecurity Inc.

The symbol already on their new web site, is CYBX.

They will provide a US Government patented blockchain cybersecurity to all Bitcoin transactions worldwide.

In addition they will have a ICO of a new Bitcoin called Minecoin. It will be a medium to allow metals and mining companies to negotiate their transactions safely and securely and eliminate the middleman.

Is my information correct and again, what are your thoughts please.

Thanks!
