Q: What is your understanding of the retracement to the stock from the $9.80 to now under $9.00 when principals are willing to pay more than the market gives. What is the market skeptical about ? What are the reasons you think for the lack of enthusiasm ? Is this because of a dilution effect or something?

Thank you for your guidance.

Q: USA is currently in talks with nickel mining companies in Canada, trying to alter it's dependence on Chinese companies supplying periodic table elements to them. Do you see a Canadian company/ companies benefiting from nickel supply to the EV market that are current producers, or in early development of mining that can fill this need that are undervalued. Alternately is there a royalty company supplying nickel. Which company would you pick.

Q: As I approach retirement I am looking at transitioning more to ETF's (Cdn, US, Europe). Traditionally my comfort level is best when I own good quality divd paying stocks (hard asset to me).
Question: with etf's such as zwh, cdz, zwp (all owned), am I actually owning a basket of stock within those funds? Or do these funds utilize levers such as forward contracts, derivatives, indexes etc (which I have very little knowledge of) to generate their returns.
If not, are their cdn/us/Europe etfs with actual holdings that you can recommend

Open to US ideas as well. Thanks again.

Q: Hi !

I have more of an investor psychology question.

Let's say I am interested in an initial investment in a company such as WELL which saw a nice move upwards recently. I find that after a company moves up I am strongly resistant to investing in it. I pretty much "won't" do it. There are many examples where the error of this mentality has been shown.

Would you be able to suggest a mental strategy so that I feel okay about investing in companies that have spiked?

Yours kindly,
David

Q: Of 6 Wall St. analysts following Palantir 3 have a rare "Sell" on it with 2 Holds average sell PT ~ $17. I know the 5i take on price targets yet last Nov. Peter H. said this stock, then at 17 could be 25 one year out, yet here we are at $36. There's been good news flow on this lately but how much upside could there possibly be and why are these pessimistic analysts down on it?
