Investment Q&A

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: I see Propel 12 month high & low-$43-$15 and now at $29 is close to where it was On Oct1.
Any idea for the steep decline,? Do you think it may be due to the fact they possibly overpaid for Quidmarket?

Q: Hi Peter, I was wondering why WELL was down over 5% today. Is there any news. Can you comment also on how the business is doing and would you add current pricing.

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!

Q: What is happening with GLXY and thoughts on VHI going forward....

Thanks

Q: Peter; Is it just getting thrown out with the baby today - news? Thanks.

Q: I would appreciate your insights on these 2 early stage mining companies; primarily as a patient medium term copper play. I would not be surprised if they were purchased by a large player at some point, but understand one should not "hang their hat" on that end game.

Which would be your preferred and why? They would sit in a 25-30 y. olds TFSA account which, while it would not capture any capital loss would shelter gains.

Q: The Fresh Factory announced a US$3M straight equity financing today which implies a C$1.28 per share value. The stock last closed at C$0.91 which implies a 41% premium. Is this a very good sign?

Q: DGHI recently ran from 2$ to $5.70 in a month. Since then it has come right back down to $2.90. Is there something I'm missing in their financials? BTC is still trading near 100k USD. They also have plans for AI.
Any explanation for this price action would be appreciated.
Thank you

Q: Please give us your opinion on this company going forward. Tks in advance

Q: What is the outlook for Northisle mining? Is now a good time to invest in it? Any other miners you could suggest?

Q: Good afternoon,

Any insights/recommendations on Banyan Gold are most appreciated.

Thank you

Q: Hammond Power stock seems to have breached the $89 support level Today.

You don't like negative momentum.

Should we sell before losing more money as it looks like that tariff jitters are not going away for a while and next we could see a drop in the backlog, taking the stock a further leg down.

Thank You

Q: What is your assessment of the most recent results for PIF? What do you think of this company's prospects going forward and the safety of the dividend? What is the free cash flow of this company per share?

Q: Can you give me an economic outlook for the price of silver, an in depth look at this company since your last comment two years ago and any comments on the recent insider buying by the CEO. Thank you.

Q: Please rank the above companies for total return over the next three years. For the top two companies, please advise why you prefers them.

Q: please give up date. tariffs are going to hurt. growth ?
thought closing old plant would make more efficient and good things to follow. does not seem the case . brian

Q: I looked in my Brokerage account today and noticed that my former Gear Energy (GXE) shares had been converted into Lotus Exploration (LTC) shares and cash. It looks like 62% of my Gear holding was converted to Lotus shares and 38% was received in cash (at a very low valuation).

Since the transaction Lotus has lost 29% in just 2 weeks.
I don't know how such a sleazy deal got past the TSX regulators? This reminds me of the bad old days when the TSX head honchos enabled frauds such as Bre-ex, Sino-Forest and so on or the even worse Vancouver stock exchange days.
In total I am down 53% on my original Gear purchase in Jan'23.

I have 2 questions;
1) does LTC pay a dividend?
2) is there any valaue at all in LTC or is this whole thing a fraud?

Regards,
