Time to close a small position in $FBIOP. Monetization of assets has brought this preferred stock back up from entry point of $5.2. Just shy of 300% return for a 20 month holding period is not too shabby. Thank you @chaka23121 and @LulevTrading for the idea and thesis!
Started scooping up some $FBIOP. When preferred dividend gets reinstated, share price should move back to $17 range. You essentially get a 42% div yield on cost basis for buying and holding this (risky) stock. Looks too cheap to me. Insiders also added recently.
$NURS.v results came in as expected with $25M in Q1 revs, and net income of ~$2.6M. More importantly, the profit-sharing agreement with $VST.cn is active and is finally visible in the MD&A of HTI. Economic value is there, only time needed before it is translated in stock price.
'At least $150M' $NURS revenue guidance could translate into 25, 35, 45 and $55M in revs for the four quarters, for a total of $160M this year. Say 15% net margins in Q4 and annualised would bring this to $33M exit-run rate earnings, i.e. 8x P/E at $5 share price.
Unfortunately, and I have to point this out, again no $NURS.v Q&A in the cc...it really seems mgmt is afraid of (my) questions! For a company intending to move to Nasdaq, these are very bad optics!
$FNCHQ stalking horse deadline and entire sale process is being delayed once again. Unclear to me if this is because of no interest from prospective buyers for a stalking horse role, or if the OpenBiome hearing is necessitating it. But more time for the judge to issue a decision!
The more I look into $FNCH/ $FNCHQ, the more I like the current set-up. Sale timeline is very clear and short (two months), can be extended/terminated at any time (e.g. in case the post-trial motions verdict finally comes out), 100 possible buyers.
Did $NURS.v restate their licensee recognition methodology to get to 11K? My vibe coded python tool found 3550 licensees for DripBAR Direct alone (71 locations x 50 states). This client probably only accounted for 50 licensees in 2025 (because 'only' 2.5K at YE2025)! 🤨
Four months after an already unnecessary convertible offering ("big opp in next 30-60 days" didn't materialize), $NURS.v is AGAIN diluting, this time 5.56M shares in total, while already cashed up and presumably CF positive with 700K VSDHone orders/month.
Honestly not sure what to think about the webinar. A lot of talk about the evolution in the industry and one 'pumpy' slide on the new number of licensees at the end of Q1 2026. $NURS not fielding any questions at the end of the call was not appreciated by investors I'd imagine!

I wonder if $FNCH can 'leave' Chapter 11 once the lease has been rejected, or if they have to go through with the Bidding Procedure Motion and run the risk of having a low floor price that they can't escape. All in all they are forced to sell here.
$FNCH / $FNCHQ has net operating losses (NOLs) that could be monetized during a sale, even is there is change of control. In this case, the annual NOL cap would amount to 3.58% of the final selling price. This alone is still potentially worth $2-3M or ~$1.5 per share.
Oct 2025: Ferring is forcing themselves to sell REBYOTA which must be great news for Finch! Stock 20%
March 2026: Finch is forcing itself to sell itself through court-supervised sale under Chapter 11. Stock -40%
Man what do I love public markets! $FNCH

War in Iran seems far from over and the systemic risks from the prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz have yet to fully reverberate through the macro financial feedback loop. I have raised cash as this feels like the safest course of action at the present time.

And surprise, surprise, $LODE is diluting again at terms undefined in their press release. Bulls will always tell you the bull case, reality for the equity holders tells you a different story…
The reason Comstock is not up much in the past year is because mgmt diluted SHs by 30% a few months ago, and have a massive ATM in place. Why would you bid this up to then get smashed? I know so many people who would buy big amounts of stock if silver assets were sold! *If*
Absolutely phenomenal stock performance of $NXSN.TA over the past year. Getting a bit pricey but what a run it has been. Credits to @rubicon59 for bringing this name to my attention!
$NXSN.TA slowly getting discovered: 35% YTD and still extremely cheap compared to other lower growth, higher capex military businesses in the US and Europe. Still only valued at 14.5x P/E on 2025 exit profits of $125M!

$NURS.v Raising C$11.5M at a valuation of C$190M implies a HUGE cost of capital with guidance of 400K orders/day (and thus $700M mcap). Selling shares at C$3.82 when fair value is closer to C$13 is incredibly short-sighed move by mgmt: for value creation the ROI has to be huge.
It is sad to say, but this raise again underlines the superiority of $VST.cn as a play for this investment thesis: the 10% VSDHone profit share is not diluted by this raise. Although VST will also tank tomorrow. Maybe a good time to initiate the buyback!
In conclusion, while I deplore this action by mgmt, the prospects for VSDHone are (as far as I know) unchanged and the share price should reflect that in the medium term. Let's revisit $VST.cn in 12 months. Still attractive as shown in my updated valuation sheet.
Have no opinion on $SHMD's core biz, but the €10M convertible was shark financing: 15% interest rate, conversion at $2.15 (55% discount vs market price!), 2% 'arrangement' fee plus 1.25m 'incentive' call options (5Y @ $4.20) --> 6.3M shares dilution for €9.8M i.e. ~$1.55/share!
