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: 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
