Q: Good day 5i team, I am thinking of starting a position in North West Co. Have been waiting for a dip for entry but may just get on with it and fill my consumer non cyclical space. Question: I don't see it in the income or balanced portfolio, any compelling reasons for not including it in an income portfolio with some capital gain long term? This will be a longer term hold inside a registered portfolio

Q: Further to Eddie's question, would any US based companies have issues getting into the marijuana industry (even outside of the US) if the industry wasn't legal at a Federal level in the US? I have heard of US individuals avoiding investments in this area just to be cautious.

Q: Hi 5i,

I'm thinking on adding ZWH 5%-10% to my RRSP to cover my US exposure. This is for a income portfolio.
My portfolio now consist of 50% GIC's and
5% in each of the following stock.. BNS,EMA,ECI,ENB,SRU.UN,BCE.
10% in CDV.
Can you suggest another ETF that would fit better then ZWH? Or would you consider ZWU a better position. I see 5i income portfolio doesn't have any US equity holdings.
Would the US dividend be tax excempt within the ETF?

I look foreward to your answers.
Thank for all the excellent info!!

Q: your thought on DR:
- is it worth buying at $13.00
- is the divined reasonable covered
- are there major problems in the company and/or business to explain the steep share price drop

as usual many thanks to all the 5I people

Q: Hi. I'm curious about your thoughts on big tobacco becoming big pharma as far as medical cannabis goes. I am surprised that they haven't yet entered this space. Do you think this will eventually happen? With the big drop on tobacco stocks today I'm wondering if I should start a position.
