Q: I received WGX shares in exchange for my KRR shares, when KRR got taken over. The WGX shares have not done very well, but I have been hanging on to them for now, thinking that this poor performance may just be due to the reshuffling of shareholders that often takes place whenever a company is bought, but I'm starting to have doubts.

It is hard to do research on WGX because there doesn't seem to be much information out there, other than the WGX website.

Do you have a feel for how substantial this company is, i.e. how good is the management team, how good are its resources and its plant and facilities, how sound are its finances, etc.?

Do you think it would be wiser to hold on to WGX for now, or to sell, and wait to see how everything works out?

Q: Hi - what do you make of US comments about the lack of taxes that cruise companies pay due to their ship registration? Industry stocks have reacted badly but wondering if this is an overreaction and what your prospects are for the US to actually act on this "subtle" threat? Bottom line for those who might be long the sector...sell on this news...or hold...or buy?

Q: I am a holder of HBM for over 5 years in my non-registered account. Can you please give me your read on the latest news, especially regarding the weak guidance. Is the stock currently oversold or will there be further downside. I know you have long favoured CS over BHM, is that still the case after the correction in HBM and do you feel a switch would be a good idea going forward. BTW, I would like to remain invested in copper.

Much appreciated,

Francisco

Q: Tapping into your experience and expertise. TFII is down $31 at this moment. Over the next week or so, how low do you think it might go? And then over the next few months, what type of movement might it have? I'm sure it will recover some. So what price is good to buy a few shares? I realize there are many factors at work but if you were looking at TFII for yourself, what would you do?

Q: Hello folks:

Help me to "decipher" the crazy price action of SMCI :) From 40 to 66 in 5 days! (approximate)

Is it because of

a. Short covering
b. that it is deemed safe from being delisted from Nasdaq.
c. Market loving what they see in their recent releases and TRUST the data this time around!! Borrowing a phrase from you, have all the cockroaches been squashed :)

Apparently Feb 25th is the D Day for the stock. Any predictions for post Feb 25th announcements. Will it go down? ? 47 is the support if you look at the "inverse head and shoulder neckline" or up 70+ 200 Day MA. Forgive my rudimentary Technical Analysis!

Q: Hi Team,
Admittedly, my portfolio is on the growthy, aggressive side of things being tech heavy with some smaller cap names. It now seems like daily I wake up to another name in the headlines dropping 10,20,30% with the slide on a few names continuing . Is this a sign the market is about to topple over cause this is what it’s feeling like. Or is the positive view 5i held for the year still in place? U assume as usual the move is to hold steady and ride the wave?
Thanks ,
Shane
