According to the conf call, as of the end of NOvember the company will have 4000 patients connected representing 200,000.00 U.S. per month and by December month end will have 6000 connected= 300,000.00 U.S. per month. The break even is approx. 250,000.00 CDN per month. Would this traction bring forward your thinking of an initial position on the company?

Q: In regards to Austins question,the two split shares above will quit paying a dividend on the common shares when the Nav for the common shares plus the preferred drops below $15.00.you can keep track of the Nav on their website.Dgs has been by far my best income stock,buying in for an average $6.94,gives me an annual return of 17.3% on original purchase.Present Nav. is $17.30 according to Brompton's
website.DFN pays a lower dividend,but has a bigger cushion in it's NAV.I think these are excellent vehicle for income as long as you keep track of the NAV value!!

Q: Good Morning,
Napec received a takeover offer yesterday @ $1.95/share. The stock is trading at or slightly above the proposed takeover price. Do you have any comments or thoughts. Would you advise selling shares now or waiting to see if a competing bid comes in.
Thanks,
Philip

Q: Hello 5i!
Can you explain the Cognex stock split to me?
Specifically: "Cognex Corp - ‍board approved a two-for-one split of company’s common stock, payable in form of a stock dividend"
I understand the usual two for one but what about the "payable in the form of a dividend"?
Thank you
Dave​

Q: Just a comment about the 'dot-com bubble' worry, if I may. I remember that there was a legitimate craze happening at that time. Any company that had a .com at the end of its name took off to astronomical prices based on nothing - no revenue, no customers, no book value. The tech companies we're talking about now are real, and it looks to me like they're riding a secular wave of demand for computing power related to real growth areas like AI, data centers, machine learning, virtual reality, and cloud computing. Granted, this won't last forever, and it's an open question as to how long they can grow at current rates, but at least you're not investing in thin air like the crowd was doing back in the 00's.
