Q: I am quite new to investing and want your opinion on the current state of penny stocks. I started putting money in penny stocks 2 months ago and have alot of them doing well, too well, such as SCR//LUCK/MMED/EXRO/PYR/TAAT/EATS/GRN/GDNP/PKG that would go up 100+% within a month. And I noticed there has been a lot of penny stocks out there that would jump 50% easily in a few days on no news. The frothiness is really scaring me. Is this a phenomenon that is recent since the pandemic? Or has penny stocks always been doing this well for many years and decades? How do you see their "bubbly-ness" in the next 12 months? What percentage of one's portfolio do you think should be dedicated to these aforementioned relatively safe (larger market cap, revenue generating) penny stocks, assuming excellent income, 20-30 year horizon?

Q: Peter, Thanks to you and your team for excellent service. I took a large position in SCR when it was trading at 75 cents and sold half when it doubled a few weeks later. Now that my remaining shares are up 440%, I'm starting to wonder about potential price targets and whether to trim more here. With the forthcoming US listing and share consolidation, I'm inclined to hold on. I would appreciate any thoughts on the prospects of the company and the esports sector going forward, when you bracket out all the current hype. I didn't really think of it as a long position at the time, but bought a basket of esports stocks like BRAG and EGLX that have all done well.

Q: Hi Peter,
Greenlane updated the corp presentation on their website & may have dropped a hint into Q4 results.
It notes that $5.7M cash at the end of Q3 and $16.4M cash on Dec 31. I know $4.5M was the exercise of options announced on Dec 2nd. Where did the other $6.2M come from? Operations maybe?? Assuming they didn't rob a bank, how much revenue growth can we expect in Q4 to generate $6.2M cash from operations since they only booked $6.5M revenues in Q3?

Or am I missing something here??

Thanks

Q: Comment
RIV is in the process of completely reinventing itself. After a 16Feb 2021 Special Shareholders Meeting, RIV will be severing ALL ties to Canopy, including changing its name. To pursue its American cannabis goals it will probably drop its TSX listing and trade stateside. Jason Wild Asset Management will be the largest surviving shareholder (at about 25%). The new entity intends to get more operationally involved in its holdings.
