Q: I have a half position in Kraken in a TFSA. Their PE is high though I see high sales growth this year with several contracts signed this year. Do we have any idea of what the next couple of years may show? Have Kraken give a 3-5 year plan? Do you believe in their chance of continuing at a high rate in the near future? It's easier for a small company to grow fast and not so easy later. Is there so much potential in their sector of activity that they can continue to grow at a fast clip?
Thank you for your analyse.

Q: I have been keeping a good portion of our portfolio in cash, and for the last couple of years in GICs where the interest rate near 5% was ok. But some have and others are coming up for renewal and rates are now lower, around 3.25%, Would something like PPL be a reasonable alternative to earn a somewhat better return wth still a good degree of safety? Any other suggestions? Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: If you submit a trade with a stop loss, can other people in the market see that stop loss. Is it true that someone can trade the stock down, pick out the stop loss and then the stock price goes back up? How does that work?

Q: Re Fannie Mae FNMA - not in your system- but number one on the 5i blog's Rockets and Duds weekly list and others that seem to be exclusively US names, I would have more interest in following this feature if it had Canadian names, which I thought was 5i's expertise.

Q: Since you commented on NCi's earnings about 5 weeks ago, the SP has risen 60%, largely due to two announced purchase orders totalling more than $22M, not bad for a company whose market cap has only recently surpassed $100M. Good to see that trading volume has appreciated noticeably and Canaccord has initiated coverage although they may soon have to increase their price target. Have we got a winner here?

Q: Peter; Having read your last comment I was intrigued by the 2025 EPS estimate of $3.30. What am I missing - I realize their last earnings was dismal at best - but is the $3.30 realistic. BTW when I was looking at the price quote and then went to the NEWS segment TRICAN came up - no SHLE News. Any idea why? Would you add here ? Thanks.
