Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am looking to make a small speculative investment and wanted your comments before I pull the trigger. I am interested in FIRE, but don't want to get burned and would like to know:
- how much cash do they have on hand and based on their current burn rate how long will this last?
- how much debt do they have and are they in danger of insolvency?
- I understand that being a smaller player they carry more risk but is their management well regarded with a clear path to grow and are they considered to be a likely survivor?
I don't mind investing and waiting for the stock to find its footing but do not want to invest in a company that is not highly regarded. I appreciate your comments.

Cheers
Scott

Q: I have continued to hold because I thought the overall strategy was sound and selling pot as a retail business makes longer term sense compared to the valuations in the pot growing companies themselves. Can you comment on recent earnings and how you see management's strategy playing out? Does their generally optimistic evaluation of the quarter and their prospects seem reasonable?
Thank-you.

Q: Since starting to do more and more of my own investing I have found your advice incredibly profitable! Thank you. I follow the Canadian balanced portfolio and try to add in some US growth names. I am also diversified into ETFs. Right now I have cash for 2 new US positions. I want to add growth positions and have a long long time frame. Currently considering GH, RTN and RUBI. Do you still like all three at current prices? And which would you choose? Any other suggestions?
