Q: From Accesswire (June 19): "Isis Lab (LAB-TSX.V) has created a gamblification engine that turns on-line games into real money, while creating a sticky user social experience. For clients operating within fully regulated markets the company offers a turnkey solution including a full commerce application and back office suite."

Turning fantasy gaming into real money sounds quite promising (I'm not sure how that's possible!) but I can't imagine what a sticky user experience would entail. Any idea?
Two of the execs at LAB honed their skills at Poker Stars and Full Tilt Poker and the report at Accesswire links LAB with Amaya. It seems LAB moved up in sympathy with developments at Amaya in mid June from the 35 cent area but has since fallen back.
Has 5i altered the opinion on LAB since last look in Feb. and is there possibly an undiscovered gem of a stock here? Thanks, J.

Q: Seems we're into a summer pullback in the Canadian market. I've noted some of the companies in your model portfolios have pulled back with the market. Which companies in your model portfolios do you currently believe are the least expensive and provide the greatest upside for the next 1-2 years? As, always, thanks for your valued guidance.

Q: Peter: I have been looking at Sylogist, SYZ for the past few days as it reaches new highs. I'm puzzled by the reporting of volume. For example, today, the official count is 2615 but a look at trades on TMX.com shows many thousands more. Why the difference especially on what appears to be quite an illiquid stock, especially if you want to trade. Thank you and kind regards,

Q: re: TWX Time Warner

got online today and have seen a 15% increase. The only thing I can see in the news is TWX CEO Bewkes officially rejecting the offer from 21st Century Fox.

Is there any other news you have that accounts for such a significant jump?

Thanks for all you do for all of us

Q: Western Forest Products, WEF. Whatdo you think of this Co. It has instituted dividend. Looks to be doing very well. I heard that there is a slow market period currently. I had 1000 shares, which I sold as the stock moved up in price. I want to buy, but looking for a bottom. Is this the bottom, or will it fall further. Any idea about the seasonality.I value your opinion a lot. Thanks.

Q: Hi Team,

In a question/answer from Claire today, you say bonds are riskier now due to possible increases in interest rates.

Which do you consider riskier overall, bonds facing rate increase pressure, or stocks, achieving historic highs and possibly lower future returns or a possible correction?

Thank you.
