Market. He thinks economic indicators look strong still. Small cap holdings do tend to sell off harder during downturns. The recent Canadian budget announcement did not have any surprises in their opinion. Going forward, the “Sell in May” trend may have already begun – he expects another 6 weeks of volatility. From there it will depend on economics and earnings.
What is your long term outlook on this? He thinks over the next two years and longer, it looks strong. They own it currently, and sees the ownership as fragmented. The demand for storage continues to increase and it is becoming more difficult to build these facilities. There is long term potential here.
He says this is a company they just participated in a financing with and they do have a small holding. He says they need final licensing before they can draw down their backlog of sales – he expects this in the second-half of the year. As this defence technology gets adopted, he thinks this will make the company a take-out target by a big player.
He thinks this company has very good prospects. The stock price indicates the market likes what they have done with the drill bit. He thinks as they continue to put the pieces in place the stock price will go higher and will become a potential target for a take-out. It has the potential to grow without the commodity price rally, he says. IF he was to buy into it, he would buy into a third now and scale in in the months ahead.
He believes this has been very volatile due to an overhang and the potential need for more financing. It is stabilizing now and they have received an investment from the Thompson family. He thinks they should begin to receive approval soon with sales later this year. They do not own it presently, although they have held it in the past.
He has never invested in it. When the company was raising funds, it was doing so at sizable discounts, which caused some concern. He does not yet understand how this technology will play out, so they are sitting on the sidelines. He is not sure this company could be a long term sustainable crypto-miner. He would only trade this on a tight-stop.
This company has been active with potential acquisitions, which they have not been rewarded for, he thinks. It has one of the first cannabis cultivation plants near Las Vegas. He likes the recent acquisition, which will help with security logistics of cannabis inventory. This could be a service offered to other companies.
