Q: Do you still like HSTR? To my layman’s eyes it seems to be “firing on all cylinders”. Thinking of selling my GOT to make the purchase. HSTR plots better than GOT, it has a higher market capitalization and it is already profitable. I believe it’s mines are all located in Mexico so there is some potential robbery/extortion issues I suppose. Any other comparative negatives?
Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Q: My question is about a TFSA. If I placed the maximum $ 102,000 into a TFSA, and now withdraw all of it , let's say $122,000. Can I replace all the money, or would i be limited by the maximum.

What about if my TFSA didn't do well, and I withdraw all of it say 80,000. , and close the TFSA. How much money could I deposit into new TFSA?

Thank you

Steve

Q: Looking at the question by Michael on Jacobs today I see a company having 2026 net revenue growth of 6-10 % but a PE of 54 ! Sure it’s a fine company in a good sector but does it really deserve a PE of 54 ? Other solid companies in Canada with historically high PE ‘s such as TRI , WSP , and FSV etc., seem to be going through a valuation revision downward. The question is will the revised valuation remain or will the premium valuation return ? Your thoughts. Thanks. Derek.

Q: Hi there, can AIDX be considered dead on arrival now, for its IPO possibility next year?

The share price action has brought it down considerably during this tax loss selling season!

Where do you see support for the shares now?

Do you consider the shares priced fairly here at 1.00?

Current growth and outlook looks good, share price not so much, horrible!

I believe my question on WGX last week has gone MIA...your thoughts on their last quarter please?

Thanks!

Q: There appears to be something wrong with the Market Cap amount on your report. TMX is saying there are 50M Total shares(All Classes) and 493M (Issued and outstanding shares). Quote Media is saying the are 493M shares. The 50M number multiplied by the Latest price gets the market cap on 5i and Quote Media of 383M. The 493M number multiplied by the latest price gets about $3.8B market cap which is shown on TD Cowen and Yahoo. Both numbers are shown on TMX. It would seem there is an error in the Total Shares at one of the data sources? I just noticed by chance as I use MC as a screening criteria and the 383M number didn't feel correct.

Q: Good morning!
I do realise this is a high risk company, and that they are selling off hotels trying to get their financial situation improved.
However, they just reported completion of an NCIB ending December 2025, where they actually purchased about 10% of their float. They have renewed the NCIBsame for the next year. That to me is interesting, suggesting that they do actually believe their current stock price is lower than it should be. Can you have a look and let me know your thoughts about what might be the future prospects for them? ... Thanks! Paul K

Q: I have owned this for a few years currently down 22% on USD side of my TFSA. I am wondering your opinion going forward Hold or Sell? With no tax loss advantage it does pain me to sell all or some but hard to know what opportunity cost I am leaving on the table is, which might be more than the loss on the stock.

What would you do? And what is the opinion of MGA overall as a business given the current climate. Thanks
