Q: Hi,

In one day up 45% (short squeeze?), finishes the day up 24%, then the next day tanks 15%...almost ending up at the same share price before the 20% sale.


What gives?

Can you suggest a valuation?
What is the chance this thing gets back to $20?

Q: I own SNOW and am down 30%. It has been loudly touted as a future all star stock by folks like Brad Gerstner. But hasn’t lived up to the hype and is about 1/2 of previous highs.

With all the focus on and interest in AI, am I better to hold or add to Snow or sell and buy one or more stock that looks to have better upside potential. Do you have 2-3 favourites ?


Thanks for your help.

Q: Hi,

HEPION Parma (HEPA-US: not in your database) had a 1/20 reverse stock split this week. Taking this into account, the stock is still nearly down 50% in 2 days. Liver/ NASH disease is a good research target. Any news I did not see?

Have a great week-end. Thanks

Q: This is more of a statement then a question. I am so disappointed in the stock market. WELL is down so far today off those results. It was dropping like a rock before that for over a week. Even on green days where everything was up 5% it would drop 5%. I think CTS is ridiculous as well.

Q: Hello 5i.

Would appreciate your thoughts on ILLM:CA latest earnings.

It seems as though every quarter they are boasting about illumin's success/growth. Yet their revenue has remained relatively flat since 2020, which leads me to believe they are only able to convert existing customers rather then attracting new clients. I do not consider that to be "world changing" as the CEO seems to imply.

Have held the company for a few years now and I am now considering selling my current position at a loss.

Would appreciate your assessment and If you believe there are better opportunities out there your replacement ideas.

Thanks again as always. Appreciate the service.
