Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Kraken announced a sizeable order today - $34M. The stock has recently sold off a bit but is up 14% today as of this writing. How material is the order? Was it expected? Have they updated their outlook for 2025? Out of 10, how would you rate the stock as a buy? I'm trying to decide whether to make it a full position.

Q: XPEL released earnings this morning and the market does not like it. Mostly bad news in there and more head winds and issues they are dealing with. Its starting to seem like more bad quarters than good with XPEL and it'll be in the dog house for a while. But looking for your unbiased opinion, is it still a hold or start looking for the exit? Thx

With the backing of BC Partners do you think it represents an interesting investment opportunity?

Q: I am wondering if staff/exec have vested options, that are currently being sold, and that is accelerating the stock weakness over the past month (roughly from $40 down to $30).
Looking at the INK Insider report for last year, the graph shows substantial insider sales in May 2024, when the price went from $29 down to $19 (and then rebounded). Feb 2025 is exactly 3Q from May 2024, so this could match such a cycle (hypothetically).
I'm unsure how long insiders have, to file their sales, for February.
Any thoughts, or is this pure grasping-at-straws?

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: Hello 5i!

I know this company has some significant geo-political challenges but are the fundamentals still attractive despite these risks?
Respecting you don’t have a crystal ball do you see the geo-political risks as too great to be a buyer or would you be buyers now that the stock has dropped 40% in a short period?
I am a growth oriented investor with higher tolerance for risk within reason.

As always thanks for your sage advice in these volatile times - your team continues to steer us with wisdom and reasonability and this is appreciated!
