Q: Hi,

SMCI submitted 10K before the deadline. The company had provided forward guidance. What is the probability they wood goof up the next few quarters - specially when coming back from the brink.
Given its current valuation, would you trust the management and invest for the next few quarters? If yes, would you consider a full position or even going overweight?
Regards
Rajiv

Q: I have been looking at this company that is listed on the CBOE and with the pending transaction transition to the Nasdaq:

With the backing of BC Partners do you think it represents an interesting investment opportunity?

Q: I am wondering if staff/exec have vested options, that are currently being sold, and that is accelerating the stock weakness over the past month (roughly from $40 down to $30).
Looking at the INK Insider report for last year, the graph shows substantial insider sales in May 2024, when the price went from $29 down to $19 (and then rebounded). Feb 2025 is exactly 3Q from May 2024, so this could match such a cycle (hypothetically).
I'm unsure how long insiders have, to file their sales, for February.
Any thoughts, or is this pure grasping-at-straws?

Q: I wish to build a 3 year cash reserve to cover market fluctuations in retirement. Looking for liquidity and safety, and ease of use. I am considering HISA, money market funds, GIC's or Bonds ?
My account is at Investorline so would have to be available through them. Are any of these preferable or do you have other suggestions?

Q: Hello, I have long been a fan of Peter Hodson's team. Introduced thru Ellen Roseman's investment club.

I own JRVMF in my TFSA. Originally bought about $2,000 CDN worth of shares several years ago. I listened to my geologist neighbour.

Just received a package on the company's U.S. Chapter 11 proceedings (received by regular mail February 21, 2025, must respond by 5 p.m. CT February 25, 2025).

Package includes 1) notice of "Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization" 2) "Notice of Non-Voting Status" and 3) a form for those who "elect to opt out of the third-party release" which must be returned tomorrow, Feb 25, 2025.

I gather I am not entitled to vote on the Prepackaged Plan. I assume this is a standard thing. Any advice on how to respond would be appreciated.

Never listen to your geologist neighbour. Thanks!

Q: Hey gang!

I have a question about Aritzia Inc.

How much share price decline can we expect in a Trump-tariff situation? What is the tariff risk?

Your report notes the seasonality of ATZ with most revs coming in during Aug-Feb (the third and fourth quarters).

If I were looking for share price "pop" or a surprise, when would the seasonally influenced numbers show up? Would it be in the upcoming earnings report (Q4)?

I ask because I see a lot of ATZ clothing being worn, and I expect the numbers to be extra good.

Having said that, 5i made a great call on ATZ months ago. Is there room for more growth?

Regards,
David
