Q: Questions on KBL:

Can you please comment on:

- Balance sheet quality

- Management

- Current valuation relative to its history

Considering its 12-year dividend-raising drought, is there a history of companies going long periods without raising before resuming once again. Wondering if there is any hope.

A somewhat related question.......
KBL is rated B+ in your reports. Does your rating system take into account any risk profile? For instance, I believe PRL is also rated B+. So from an overall risk standpoint, would you see these two companies at roughly a similar level of risk?

Q: May I please get your views on the most recent results from CCI ? I didn't think that the report was particularly impressive but the stock price has been appreciating slowly recently. It pay a 4.3% dividend but over the longer term I'm not getting a great return. Do you see it as a hold or should I let it go and move on to something better?
Thanks for your advice.

Q: From a technical standpoint, I see that NWC had been within a fairly consistent rising 18-year stock price channel. Roughly May 2024, the price shot above the upper resistance of that channel and has been above that (rising) line ever since.

Question: Do you know of any fundamental change at the company that would justify the elevated stock price since May 2024? Were there some sort of positive changes within the company?

Q: I had a representative from Sun Life approach me with the option of rolling my LIRA/RRIF money into an annuity, providing guaranteed, stable income for life. Would you suggest taking a portion of RRIF funds and putting it into an annuity, or instead relying on a combination of ETFs that provide dividend income and capital appreciation?

Q: There are no questions on this company, which seems to have a lot to do with your old company, Sprott. It looks like power is really needed for the advancement of AI and and some people think this may provide a big part of the solution. I wonder what you think of it and how you might see it fitting into a portfolio?
Thanks very much

Q: I'm seeing chatter on bulletin boards that CVVY's cashflow will increase dramatically in 2026 once its sulphur hedge comes off at the end of this year. My back of the envelope calculations support this theory. Combining the sulphur theory with increasing third party processing revenue and the potential for higher natural gas prices lead me to take a speculative 1/4 position in this company. Before I possibly take a larger position, I would like your thoughts on the impact of sulphur sales on cashflow in 2026.

Q: Hi I'm wondering if you think BKSY or OUST will have more growth in the long term.
I'm thinking BKSY has more of a moat technology-wise but it might just be caught up in space hype. OUST could have lots of growth but aren't there like a million companies with LIDAR technology? I guess they have the whole TAM growing with robotics and cars and all that.
