Q: Sangoma Technologies released fiscal Q3 results this evening. Revenues have grown for the eight consecutive quarter, 29% this past quarter. The Company stated in the earnings release that total revenues for fiscal 2017 will now exceed their guidance of $25 million. As the market cap grows (today still trading less than 1X sales) do you think this Company would be considered for your model growth portfolio?

Q: Copper has pulled back from its recent highs in the 2.70's, and zinc from the 1.30's (USD/lb). Could you comment on any possible headwinds for these base metals? Would this be a good time to add a new position in our favorite copper and zinc stocks since there has been a corresponding drop in their prices?

Q: Further to my questions on Ten Peaks. I still don't understand how the convertible debenture effectively doubles the outstanding share count once exercised at $8.25. This is what is implied in he quarterly financials when calculating EPS on a basic and fully diluted basis. My calculation says a $15 million debenture converted at $8.25 equates to approx 1.8 million shares. The company now has approx 9 million shares outstanding. What am I missing?

Q: Last night I watched an Australian money manager talk about the benefits of Smart Beta ETFs. He mentioned the following which I expect are traded on the Australian exchanges but might also be traded in N America.
Yield shares high income, ishares FI balanced risk, Vanguard dividend appreciation as examples.
Are these the same as low volatility etfs we know about here - or are they another type of etf?
If so, what is your opinion on this type of etf for safety and likely better long term returns?

Q: Hello 5i,
I need to add some geographic diversification to my dividend stock holdings. I only have Canadian companies at present. Is there a mutual fund or ETF that you would recommend? I'm looking at the Sprott Global Dividend Fund. What do you think of it?

Q: My wife and I, retirees, are considering adding a real estate ETF to our portfolio, to hold in TFSAs. You commented that ZRE has an equal weighting in REITS and is more diversified than XRE (that has a 30% weighting in RioCan and H&R). ZRE has a slightly higher distribution % that appeals. My question is on safety of capital. I perceive Rio Can and H&R to be high quality REITs versus say an Artis or Cominar that have a higher weighting in XRE. Which of the two ETFs would you consider safer, or is it a coin toss between the two? Thank you for your comments
