Investment Q&A

Q: Hi All at 5i! What do you think about Spot coffee ? Do you think it has good upside potential for a micro cap? Cheers, Tamara

Q: Good day Ryan, I'm still trying to wrap my head around the latest earnings release. Their fourth quarter and annual net income benefited from a one time recovery of 9.4 million and going forward they benefit from an estimated 3 million annual net income due to lower U.S. corporate tax rate. So if you take away the one time 9.4 mill is the 3 million enough to increase their growth going forward? Will they be able to increase their dividend or pay a special dividend? A couple questions here thanks much AEO

Q: In your reply to Jeff you said that TOY did not quantify exposure to Toy R Us,& yet it said no carryover impact into 2019.In my humble opinion,Toy must know the potential loss.I wonder what is the impact on its share price,which has already dropped from $61.76(new high) to current $54.34.When is a good entry point? Thanks for u usual great services & views.

Q: This group has posted disappointing results of late...what/when are the expected next earrings estimates? And when is it time to review whether these still should still be held? Thanks....

Q: Hi 5iR, This is not a question just a comment on TOY. 5iR I think you need to adjust your thinking on TOY. An increasing number of kids today do not play with toys. They play with their devices. As a grandparent I watch my grandchildren spend hours on their devices, not toys....it drives me nuts...... Since TOY is not in the software business, I would be a seller of TOY not a buyer. Cheers, Chris

Q: your comments on their earnings... please

Q: Hi,

Q: There have been a million questions on this stock which has been virtually decimated. The price now is at Sept 2016 levels when revenues were way lower than the current revenues. So can you please list out the pros and cons of this company, possible market penetration, competition, management credibility and their ownership. What would be next catalyst for this company which will drive the price. Do you think there would be some company who would be really interested to buy them. What should one do if they owned this as a 5% position in the portfolio at average price of 65 cents. Thanks
