Q: What's your opinion on this one? What does the future hold? Got a double and wondering if I should take some profits but still is not an over-weight position. The WE publicity that our finance minister is certainly not helping the the stock. Your pragmatic opinions are so appreciated. Thanks Ron

Q: Hi 5i,

Are you aware if People Corp has plans to move from the Venture to the TSX? Their last quarter was excellent and i thought it may have gotten more interest after that but it hasn't done much. It always seems to be a weird trader but their growth looks to be accelerating. Perhaps a move to the TSX would be what they need to get more interest - maybe once they get to the $1B market cap?

Thanks

Q: Morning:
I own equal weightings of these equities in my TFSA. I have some cash to invest, which one of these would you buy more of at their current market valuations? Looking for capital appreciation over the next 8 to 10 years. Thanks!

Q: What do you think of today’s press release regarding further share dilation? Do you think they might have a big acquisition up their sleeve? They had 23 M in cash at Jan 20 and now they are doubling their cash balance. It’s frustrating to see stock issued at such a low price considering a little over a month ago the stock was $10.
The company appears to be consistent with their dilution. Is this someone that we should consider with regards to selling?
Any thoughts or how you view this as someone who has been in the business a while would be great. Thank you.

Q: My understanding is that People is a third party administrator.
Does this mean they would be unusually busy with the EI claims and dealing with Cocid -19 etc is actually a good revenue stream that would help their business?

It has been hit hard like all other stocks. But did well in the past economic crisis in 08/09. Is there any other issues that would impact their business ? It looks like it could be a good time to get in now ?

Q: You continue to comment favorably about this company but they never make money. Latest quarter was a loss of $2.7m - up from $1.5m a year ago. Why do you never mention this? If you take out Goodwill and Intangible assets the equity is a negative $144m. I know you will say a lot of this is because of acquistions but if they can not make those turn a profit why do you give them such good ratings an commentary?

Q: I am thinking of replacing TOY with either PEO or GDI. What is your opinion on this idea? Do you prefer one over the other?
Thanks. Peter.

Q: Hello Peter, I have smallish positions in People and ECN in my TFSA. With this year's TFSA contribution, I'm considering topping up one or both of these positions for long-term holds. Which of these two would you favour? Or, if you favour both equally, would you concur with buying both, or do you think this precious TFSA money should go into some of the other TFSA-type stocks you've suggested recently. Thanks!
