Q: After the failure of the harvest, it is undergoing pressure, and also from the maple sugar side. However, at $ 4.83 (close on Thursday) it now has a dividend over 7%. I know it isn't a growth stock, and I know it has high debt - notwithstanding that, for a dividend investor is this a reasonable safe dividend? Also, the second part of my question is whether there is SOME growth to be expected to return to its historical levels after a year or two when (hopefully) the problems are in the proverbial rear-view mirror?
Thanks! … Paul K
Q: The company continues to put it steady results and recently completed a private placement at 56 cents.
They have announced a 1 for 8 consolidation along with the initiation of a dividend.
The last reported NAV was 53 cents.
Management is very strong and experienced.
What is your view of the investment merits at current levels?

Q: This question is related to my question submitted yesterday on tax loss selling.
I was aware of the article in the blog section related to this topic and had already read it. The information I was looking for was which, of this long list of companies, do you consider the best options to purchase during the season.
Also, I did not intend that initial question to be private; I do not believe I marked it in this way, and I am fine with you posting the answer publically.
Q: Hello Peter and Ryan
We like this little company, especially the name. The batteries seem to have worked out very well. What do you think of a five year hold. Seem to be very smart people.
thanks
Ken and Cindy
Q: Am considering SYZ and ADW.A as potential tax loss season opportunities. Of the two which would you consider the better longer term hold and / or which the better opportunity at current prices .
Thank -you
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.
Q: Hello, A couple of well-respected advisors have recently recommended this stock on BNN Market Place. I read your opinion on this stock in October which was not positive. Has your opinion changed?
Q: Hi,
Where do you see fair value for Xpel? Ive been holding since just under $5 so its been very good in only a few months. I took enough profits around $12 to remove my initial investment, so Im on house money now. I just dont want to watch it drop the way PHO, and NVDA did from their highs where I held on for too long.
