Q: Hello Peter,
Wellness, Xebec Absorption, Jamieson Wellness, all had decent numbers recently with Wellness announcing an acquisition of Indivica which I thought would have been received well. Any comments as to why these stocks are not moving much understanding they have done well. Other high tech stocks surge on any announcements so am curious. Also, kirkland lake is heading lower where other gold stocks are moving higher. Thanks.

Q: According to Reuters article, companies exercising ESG management are getting favourable attention from large investors. I expect some companies will attract a premium price for some time if they demonstrate ESG and advertise the fact. Could you list a half dozen of 5I favourites companies which are at least on the ESG narrow path to higher valuations.
Thank You for your service.

Q: I have all three of these companies in my portfolios which include non-registered accounts, TFSA's, and trust accounts for my granddaughters, more or less equal weighting overall. I am still not sure of which one(s) to trim or add to. Do you have any suggestions based on fundamentals and balance sheet as well as growth potential. I am not considering the particular type of business they fit into here but rather that they are all small cap and volatile but with potential. Or perhaps should I just keep them as is. Thanks!

Q: I have positions in both companies in my TFSA. With the turmoil in the oil industry, the damage to oil companies and the likelihood that it will continue for a while, I have been thinking about selling QST and buying more XBC. Individual stock weightings is not an issue. Your thoughts ?

Q: Good morning,
There was a fair bit of insider trading in QST in late January when the shares were around $5. Now they are trading at $1.29. Do insiders still have a solid stake in the company? Also, the shares of XBC, which seems to be in a comparable business to QST, have held up better, especially since they were declared an essential business by the Province of Quebec and have maintained operations there. Is XBC a better investment than QST at this point in time?

Q: The valuations on companies with a favourable ESG component are lofty at best. Do you see any in this sector that are still reasonably priced? A dividend would be preferable.
Thanks for your consideration.

Q: Hi 5i Team. Thanks for your great service.
With all the renewed hype with regards to green/ESG companies, is there a need to own all of the above companies or do their services overlap? Which ones would you own?

Thanks

Dave.

Q: Not a question but one day after you answered a series of questions on XBC, they released this NR so the positive momentum should continue. Thanks for your service.

Feb. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xebec Adsorption Inc. (TSXV: XBC) (“Xebec”), a global provider of clean energy solutions is pleased to announce today that $27.0 million in orders were received from U.S dairy farmers for a total of six turnkey biogas upgrading plants and small-scale containerized Biostream™ systems to produce Renewable Natural Gas (RNG).

Five of these contracts are from the conversion of a previously announced letter of intent signed on December 5th, 2019 that have turned into firm purchase orders and an additional project using our large-scale BGX Solutions.

These orders confirm Xebec’s strengthening position in the U.S dairy market as farmers look towards solutions that are reliable and have the lowest lifecycle costs. Xebec’s visibility and credibility in the marketplace are rapidly increasing due to its ability to provide local service and support through its “Xebec Service Centers”, while also providing systems that consume significantly less energy in converting biogas to RNG allowing for better project profitability.

Xebec expects to deliver the projects throughout 2020 and early 2021 with gross margin in line with our historic levels.
