5i Research Weekly Rockets and Duds

Thanksgiving is coming up in Canada, so let's be thankful for a few big winners from last week.
Super X AI Technology Ltd. SUPX 🚀🚀🚀 Seriously, how could you possibly go wrong with a company called Super X AI Technology? The people who came up with this name are genius level. Last week SUPX launched the SuperX XN9160-B300 AI server for 'extreme' performance optimized GPU applications. Talk about your buzzwords! Investors pumped up SUPX stock 55% on this news. Market cap: $1.8 billion. Total sales: Almost $0. Location of company: Hong Kong. Risk Level: SUPER DUPER EXTREME. 
Plug Power Inc. PLUG 🚀🚀🚀 PLUG had its best week in a decade last week, rising 61%. Though the short interest is a very-high 31%, investors have latched onto PLUG as a possible play on the need for electricity to run all of those AI applications. The hydrogen and fuel cell producer is also part of the Green Energy movement, which, despite what Trump says, is still a thing. PLUG is still losing money, but its losses are at least getting smaller each year. 
Above Food Ingredients ABVE 🚀🚀🚀 Wow, this (formerly) little company is based in Regina, Sask, but does not trade in Canada, only on Nasdaq. It rose 80% last week and is up 511% for the year now, bringing market cap to $3.8 billion. We are fairly sure most Canadians have never heard of it. 5i Research has never had a single question on the stock. The company got a $20 million investment from Aqua 1 in early September but there was no news last week. Why the excitement? In August ABVE agreed to merge with Palm Global, and get into the tokenized finance business. What this has to do with food we have no clue. But investors don't care. It's just that type of market.
Tilray Brands Inc. TLRY 🚀🚀🚀 Tilray, the poster child of how badly the cannabis sector collapsed, got a little HIGHER last week and rose 51% after Prez Trump posted a video HIGH-lighting the benefits of CBD. The whole sector moved. But be careful of what you smoke: TLRY stock traded at $300 per share in 2018. Even with last week's big gain, the stock is $1.57. Shareholders are still coming down from that HIGH of seven years ago. The company has never made money.
Ford Industries FORD 🚫🚫🚫 We wonder if Ford Motors, symbol F, would like the symbol for Ford Industries, symbol FORD. We are pretty sure Ford, the car people, would like FORD's stock market return, coming in at 398% for the year so far. But, Forward went Backward, at least last week, with a 22% decline. Investors took profits after gains related to September news that FORD was going to tokenize its own shares on Solana in partnership with Superstate. Sure, why don't we all do that and get all of our stocks moving? Seems easy to us. 

Take Care,
