Investment Q&A

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

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: 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: 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,
Ticked off Dave

Q: I received WGX shares in exchange for my KRR shares, when KRR got taken over. The WGX shares have not done very well, but I have been hanging on to them for now, thinking that this poor performance may just be due to the reshuffling of shareholders that often takes place whenever a company is bought, but I'm starting to have doubts.

It is hard to do research on WGX because there doesn't seem to be much information out there, other than the WGX website.

Do you have a feel for how substantial this company is, i.e. how good is the management team, how good are its resources and its plant and facilities, how sound are its finances, etc.?

Do you think it would be wiser to hold on to WGX for now, or to sell, and wait to see how everything works out?
