Investment Q&A

Q: Could this finally the right time for IBRX to rebound? Why the sudden surge? Its been going sideways for a long time so after a huge 2 day run up is there much more upside? Thanks.

Q: Thoughts on earnings and the announcement saying they've updated their investment policy to add bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset?

GameStop also redesigned their investor relations website which is now strikingly similar to Berkshire Hathaway's website. Do you think this is indicative of GameStop pivoting to being a holding company similar to Berkshire? They have a lot of cash.

Q: Good morning,

I have read a fair bit on PLTR and would like your opinion on it's future prospects and what you think of the companies balance sheet/debt ect..

Could PLTR be like Tesla or Netflix from the early 2000's? I remember looking at both of those companies and stocks and at the time using a value approach and just couldn't buy them prices were 24$ and 16$ at the time, those were some missed opportunities. Could PLTR be that or is it a GAME STOP stock?

Thanks

Q: HOOD I have noticed ads targeting the wealthy investor in addition to their meme/crypto traders. This seems to be a new company that is firing on all cylinders- time to add
to the recommended list?

Q: Can you please comment on GameStop’s recent earnings? Future projections? Thoughts on the company’s fundamentals?

Thank you for all that you do and happy Holidays!

Q: Can the recent raising of 1 billion USD turn the company around or is it Sisyphean curse that they find themselves in?

Q: My question is about the special/unique/dynamic etc CEOs Michael Dell and Ryan Cohen. What is your estimation of each in respect to both DELL and GME. Different trajectories and challenges but curious on your insights about their management and decisions in the last couple of years etc thanks.

Q: This one is all over the place over the last few months, I am thinking of taking a chance on this. Any opinion on where it is going
Thanks

Q: Hi, you mention short interest from time to time. Using MTTR as an example, you say that short interest is very high at 15%. I assume this is a negative as there are a lot of shorts (or shares short) that want to drive the price down. However, some view this as a positive as any good news can force all the shorts to cover. There are also different views on days to cover. MTTR shows 6 days. Some view higher numbers, such as 10, as positive as it means there could be a sustained rally if the shorts have to spread out their buying over a longer period rather than a quick spike.

What short interest levels and number of days to cover do you view as being positive or negative influences on a stock price?
Thanks

Q: I would like an ETF to take advantage of the pull back in tech stocks. I generally like the holdings of XIT except for the huge position in CSU (I bought some anyway because I've always been wrong on CSU). Its a small position which I would like to build on but I would also like to add some US exposure - preferably CAD since I don't feel like exchanging more funds right now. Suggestions?

Also, what is your current opinion of PTF? I only recognize a few of their holdings and have no idea how to assess, apart from noting their reasonably good history.

Q: ATER This stock has gone crazy ! Up 25% today as I write this. Price now $12.70 , yr. low $3.04 and yr. high $48.99 What exactly do they do and would you buy in ? Let me know what you think and thanks.

Q: Any real good news causing the BB go up almost 10%? or just another meme factor?

Q: I just saw the latest short report. WELL had over 5 million listed which is a ton. Very few are higher. Is there market rules which forces them to cover where they have no choice. Could a Game Stop Corp scenario happen.

Thanks Steve

Q: On April 19 you responded to a question, stating the SI of GME was 19%. Where do you get that data. And is it the same today? Thanks

Q: What percent of the float is the short interest for these two Reddit companies? Is it worth putting in some speculative money in one of these stocks as short squeeze play. Which company would be more rewarding squeeze play?

Q: When the Gamestop frenzy was active Wednesday the market dropped 600 points. When it was restricted Thursday the market recovered. Now the market is plunging again. Is this mere coincidence or are funds which have to cover their shorts being forced to dump shares in other stocks on the market in order to get the cash to buy gamestop? In other words, how much of the fall the last few days is due to the actions of the reddit gang?

Q: Hi Peter,

How do you see the hedge funds unwinding their position? All the data says that there is still over 100% short interest.. if "the people" don't sell and keep buying it will drive the price/daily margin calls higher and higher until they are bankrupt (and they are already probably close due to the $2.75B injection Melvin had to get, which was before the price was as high as it is now and is probably all gone).

But if they start unwinding the massive short position it will just squeeze them harder. Am I missing something? What do you think their plan is here? Are they all calling each other saying "don't unwind we need to hold off?" Seems like a big game of chicken and the masses are not backing down - people were already pissed off before hand, but I think people got extremely enraged on that day the retail guy for restricted and could only sell but the hedge funds could trade freely.

I think they were already on the brink and it would have been game over if robinhood didn't restrict trading that day last week. But even now they only allow 1 share to be bought. If it wasn't for the restrictions "the squeeze would have be squoze" they say! What do you see as likely scenarios for this ending?

Q: How long of notice do these short squeezed companies have to give to issue new shares and shore up the balance sheet? If AMC was to issue new shares at the elevated price it would be a win for them. I see executives are cashing shares in - why not? I would.

Q: I’ve heard that the costs to borrow shares for shorting purposes have gone from 29% to 50%. I’ve never shorted shares before and was curious if this was an annual percentage fee.

Q: I just read one person claiming that he turned 50k into 11 million trading this stock. (probably fake news).But if it goes the other way, how does this retail gambler pay back an 11 million dollar loss when he's only got 50k in the bank?And how does the winner get their money from robinhood or whomever? the amount of margin required ,would astronomical for this retail trader.Hedge funds at least,can sell other stocks which drives other asset values lower.It seems someone is going to get a beating.
