Q: Hello Peter,
Could you please comment on Tecsys results? The stock is in the dumps which is surprising as the company is in supply chain area which is a good place to be, and the results did not seem that bad. Does it compete with Kinaxis? Thanks very much

Q: Hi Peter,
Reading your National Post article this week titled 'potential read flags to watch for when picking next stock', I was interested in the first item 'short interest'. You mention that one should always check the short positions of companies wanting to purchase. So tell us please, what is the easiest and most efficient way to identify the short positions of a Canadian company? Thanks for your good advice!

Q: I'm pondering dipping my toe into ETFs. The reason for this is that I got the feeling from another 5iR response that given the current stock market turbulence, it is better to buy diversification via an ETF rather than buy new US or Canadian stocks positions or top up existing equity positions. What say you, 5iR? Like did I "read" that response right???......Tom

Q: Hi 5i,

What’s your perspective on the Energy sector going into 2023? I’ve had big wins on all 3x stocks, and am trying to decide whether to trim positions in the face of a potential global recession.

Thank you!

Q: HI,
you had mentioned recently that we could be in another historic buying opportunity for growthy small caps. along those lines...
this list contains some of my small cap/more speculative holdings. could you comment on these as a current buy, sell, or hold. I am a long term investor ( 5-many years). and if any are screaming "I am going to zero" (like Xebec). and do you have high conviction on any other small cap growth stocks presently? cheers
