What do small cap investors ask of us most often?

1. What is the main purpose of the Investorfile website and blog?

Investorfile is a small cap media and information resource for investors seeking accurate, truthful representation of a small cap company stock's potential worth. Our Top Ideas become stocks picks that are communicated through the Investorfile blog. Small cap companies who become our Top Ideas freely benefit from the exposure to hundreds of retail investors, brokers and small cap portfolio managers who regularly visit the Investorfile website or subscribe as a member to directly receive Investorfile commentary. All our Top Ideas are comprised of small cap growth companies with management teams who are dedicated to maximizing shareholder value through the betterment of financial results.

2. How do you find stock picks for Investorfile's Top Ideas?

There is nothing to find. It is all there in black and white; that is the print colour of the Management Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) report filed each quarter by companies listed on Canadian exchanges. Often the MD&A provides a wealth of information on the operating and market trends of a company which can be tracked and compared to help forecast financial performance. Twice a year Investorfile reviews every non-resource small cap company listed on TSX and TSXV stock exchanges to comprise a short-list of about 15-20 stocks that meet our general criteria (See: 5 principles that have guided Investorfile). The MD&A's of the short-list of companies are reviewed in detail to help support our valuation metrics. Senior management is also contacted. To date all our Top Ideas have been generated by this process.

3. Stock price targets for Investorfile's Top Ideas are rated as "Accumulate to." What does that mean?

We believe our Top Ideas are stocks largely overlooked by the investment community and therefore trade on a value basis. Our stocks' price targets specify an opportunity for small cap investors to accumulate shares at valuation levels before the broader investment market recognizes the stocks potential. Over the longer term this approach provides the greatest upside and some downside risk to overpaying.

4. Why do you not revise your stock price targets for your Top Ideas once they are surpassed? Are they a sell at that point?

All our Top Ideas are headlined as small cap "value" stocks, but they are still growth companies. We believe our stock price targets represent an opportunity for investors to take advantage of the market's inefficiency from mispricing certain growth stocks. Generally when our price targets are exceeded the broader investment community including analysts and institutional investors has begun following the stock. When our price targets are exceeded Investorfile continues to provide updated blog posts on all our Top Ideas. To date, many of our Top Ideas stock price targets have been far surpassed by over 100%.
