Q: Hello, I have long been a fan of Peter Hodson's team. Introduced thru Ellen Roseman's investment club.

I own JRVMF in my TFSA. Originally bought about $2,000 CDN worth of shares several years ago. I listened to my geologist neighbour.

Just received a package on the company's U.S. Chapter 11 proceedings (received by regular mail February 21, 2025, must respond by 5 p.m. CT February 25, 2025).

Package includes 1) notice of "Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization" 2) "Notice of Non-Voting Status" and 3) a form for those who "elect to opt out of the third-party release" which must be returned tomorrow, Feb 25, 2025.

I gather I am not entitled to vote on the Prepackaged Plan. I assume this is a standard thing. Any advice on how to respond would be appreciated.

Never listen to your geologist neighbour. Thanks!

Q: Seems this company has been buying back shares at much higher share price that they are currently. Would this be an attractive stock to trade?

Q: Comments on 2024 results please

Q: Looking to expand my international holdings. What are your thoughts of MercadoLibre after strong earnings?

Q: I noticed that Warren Buffet has sold his positions in VOO and SPY . Given that he may have just been using them for a holding pattern, that did not bother me too much. But, now I see that he is investing in Japan. This makes you think that he might have found something worth investing in. Do you think that may be the case in a strong way and that it may be profitable to follow his lead? If so, would the above mentioned value etf be the right choice or might there be something better? I don’t want to own the individual stocks.
Thanks as always

Q: Please recommend your preferred Japan etf or etfs. Your thoughts on a currency hedged etf is also appreciated. Thanks

Q: WTKWY:OTCPK
Can you give me your thoughts on Wolters Kluwer.

Q: Hello all,
Just a comment pertaining to BTI’s price movement. In their recent earnings announcement, they referenced a 6.3 Billion GBP provision for the Canadian class-action lawsuit settled - or soon to be settled. That may have some bearing on recent price action, particularly given that it could potentially portend other, similar actions/outcomes.
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Can I get your view and prospects on Bannerman Energy Ltd. (BBNLF:US) please.

Q: BTI lost 10% last week. What is it the reason for that and how do you value it? What is the best course of action: buy, hold or sell?

Q: EMMF : I am intrigued by this actively managed ETF that holds around 200 securities chosen based on various factors developed by the manager. It has done nothing for about ten years. Is now however a good time for this ETF to shine (finally)?
