Q: Hi 5i Team - I appreciated your detailed response to my question on this company back in August. Last week Orogen stock had quite a move upwards with some backtracking since. Just wondering if there is any news accounting for the run-up and if it is worth continuing to hold for a three year time horizon. Thanks.

Q: Peter & Co,
Nickel 28's Stock price (C$0.89) certainly does not appear to reflect the production, production growth, earnings or earnings growth of this nickel/cobalt miner.

EPS – Q3 US$0.07/share, Q1-3 US$0.19/share

P/E – 2.74x (assuming Q4 similar to Q3 and converting US$ to C$)

Debt - $79 million, down from 107.1 in Q3 2020

Cash – US$3.84 million

Product Pricing – Nickel and cobalt pricing is very strong and is projected to remain so.

I find this stock price to be very frustrating. What problem am I missing? Chinese partner? Venture Exchange? Microcap? Illiquid? Geography?
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: This company advertises that both Eric Sprott and First Majestic are investors. Are the size of these investments significant enough to indicate a fairly strong conviction?

On the Insiders report on your site I see the following during Sept 2020:
Shares Traded: 4,621,241
Transaction: Buy under a prospectus exemption at $1.40 per Share
Value: $6,469,737.00
Shares Held: 0

There are three separate transactions listed with the same figures, except that one shows Shares Held as > 0.

What should this tell me? Why is "Shares Held" = 0 after two of the transactions?

Thanks,

Q: Rare Earth Elements traded for over $4 this year, and was hovering between $1-2 in the last few weeks. Last week, they announced that each shareholder is being given one right for every share we own, that allows us to purchase another share for $0.24. My question is why would they do this so far below current and recent prices? Is this another way of giving shareholders a pseudo-dividend or sweet deal? I assume this is why the share price has been falling in the last few days (a possible doubling in the number of shares). Can you comment? Here is a snippet from their announcement. I assume it would be silly NOT to take them up on their offer.

"One (1) subscription right will be required to subscribe for one (1) common share of Rare Element Resources Limited at the subscription price of $0.24 USD per share. ... Additional Shares: If you exercise your basic subscription privilege in full, you may also exercise an oversubscription privilege to purchase additional common shares that remain unsubscribed for at the expiration of the rights offering, subject to availability and pro rata allocation of shares among persons exercising the oversubscription privilege."
