Q: I've been a longtime holder of GUD but have become somewhat frustrated at the lack of growth. I'm wondering what your thoughts are about splitting my Knight holdings and placing them in HRX and HLS. Is there a decent risk/reward scenario here? Both companies are near 52 week highs but seem to be somewhat under reported.
Thank you for a fantastic service!

Q: Hi, got information package , it says after 5 years, Knight only has 0.05 % of the market. This does not seem right? Are they playing with the numbers here?
I will vote for the current management team, as I’am sure this is in your view the best course?
Is it time to rethink investing in this stock, considering the on going insider bickering.
This stock reminds me of Wy LAN 4to 6years ago that did not work out well. Your thoughts?
Thanks

Q: With the guiding lights of 5iResearch, my portfolio value has reached all time high. I would like to express my deep gratitude to Mr.Hodson and his team for the great service, knowledge, education and support.
I am a DIY concentrated, unbalanced, buy and hold investor. Not all of my holding stocks fared so well and contemplate a Spring Weed Out. My losing stocks are namely TSGI (-47%, 2% of portfolio), TCL.a (-45%, 0.6%), IQ (-30%, 0.4%), PHO (-25%, 1.1%), COV (-13.5%, 1%), GUD (-7.4%, 2.5%), TOY (-5.1%, 4.5%), NFI (-4.6% 0.5%), and TV (-68%, 0.01%). Please kindly advise if any of the above holdings require chopping or double down and rank them in priority ? Please deduct deduct my question credits as you see fit. Thank you very much.

Q: HI Peter,
I invested in Knight for long term (5 years plus) but it has been frustrating. I was going to hold on given the management teams in place; however, with the current proxy fight, I am not sure what to do. I think in all of the time i have been in the market, this company has been a major disappointment as it feels like the company just drags its feet, and I simply trusted management given the track record. Now, as a shareholder i feel I am in a tough spot. What are the negatives and the positives for holding onto the stock please? In past discussions relating to gold and other types of commodities, the best way to invest was in streaming companies or picks and shovels. Any idea why this has not translated into the cannabis stocks? For example, the stock performance for Auxly Cannibis group and radient tech has not been that great. Lastly, what do you think of Valens Groworks and Enwave? Thanks very much.

Q: Following close scrutiny of the available information to date, I have decided to support Johnathan Goodman in his battle with Medison. This is essentially a war between two men as no one else at Knight or Medison has more than 35000 shares (one person) and the rest have basically none. Goodman has double the number as Medison. I predict Goodman will add to his position before May 7 - he could afford as many shares as he wants/needs to succeed.
However, kudos to Jakobsohn, despite my extreme cynicism towards his motives - he will control the 28% of his company that knight owns plus get control of almost $800M in cash that he did NOT raise, Goodman did - as this process has unquestionably devalued Goodman's reputation and I am sure he will be working at full potential to restore it and long before his tired grandchildren timeline evolves. When/if he wins, he could do a $2B deal the next day as raising any extra funds would receive widespread market support. Can Jakobsohn claim the same?

Q: Like many long suffering investors, I am really getting fed up with this stock. I watched a recent interview on BNN with Jonathan Goodman and was not impressed. He had an opportunity to justify why GUD was a public company and completely failed to do so. His message seemed to be if you are not investing for your grandchildren's financial future you might as well forget this stock. I think GUD should at least initiate an initial and rising dividend policy since it has failed to invest much of the large pool of cash being reserved for acquisitions. What do you think of these odds. Thanks.
