Q: What is your opinion on investing in Canadian cannabis producer Sundial Growers (SNDL)? It's been on the rise recently but still way down from historic levels. If you do not recommend it, do you have any preferred alternatives in this space?
Thanks again - John C

Q: Happy New Year 5i and team
I have a well balanced RRIF with significant gains thanks to your advice and have 2 questions:
Do you still look for a strong 2021 in the Canadian market and which sectors are likely to be the leaders ?
Specifically, I am a bit under with a small position in BBTV in that RRIF. Should I consider selling and what 3 names should have better potential for long term growth from here ?
Thanks for your continued advice
Peter

Q: I have been looking for exposure in the hydrogen business and have a few questions. I own XBC based on your coverage and have done well so thank you. My first question is whether it makes sense to just pile into the US names like PLUG or FCEL as they are much more explosive given the audience or to look for quality names doing similar things in Canada. If you could also state your thoughts on why one market is better despite similar tech.

The second part of my question is that I notice DYA comes up alongside Ballard Power and Xebec in your answers related to hydrogen. The chart on DYA is almost an exact reverse of BLDP and XBC which holders of those stocks will know is a bad thing. What is DYA not doing yet (or has done wrong) that has caused it to go down vs. up? What needs to happen for it to catch investor attention? Is there a product or service yet to launch? Is there a technology not yet widely adopted? Lastly, does 5i see strong potential here for DYA to do "that thing" that will be a catalyst for the stock price or are you merely mentioning it as one in a sector.

Q: Hi, other than GBTC and QBTC, if one wanted to take a flyer in some bitcoin stocks, what would be 2-3 "high quality" Cdn or US names and how would they rank? And any other ETF's other than the two mentioned that could benefit? Thanks!

Q: Hi, This is a list of potential momentum companies that you had suggested to another member. When I go into the 5i profile for each one, they all have negative P/E's except BKNG.
Am I reading this correctly - are they all losing money?

Q: Hi, Would like to start a small cap pool of potential high growth companies in Canada and US. What would be your picks? I have started with XBC and AT..
What would the recommended holding time be? so far my general mistake has been to give up on small cap stocks too early during periods of lull..AT is a good example I quit too early and missed a 10 fold increase and now I am back in..TSLA is another great miss for me not a small cap though.. Thank you.

Regards,

Shyam

Q: Hello, what are your thoughts of the psilocybin therapeutics sector? Personally, I believe there should be a much better alternative available today to treating mental health issues than our current options. I've read the FDA gave 'Breakthrough Therapy Designation' to COMP360 (by Compass Pathways), and I find this very hopeful. However, as an investment for the next 1-2 years what are you thoughts of this industry and this company (or any company)? Do you see this as just another boom and bust as did the cannabis sector?

Much thx.

Q: TFSA: I treat this account as my bank account because I earn no interest in my checking account which typically has fairly high cash balances and I have other investment accounts accounts that generate a ton of dividends as I am basically a "dividend grower" investor. I am retired and earn more than enough to live on. I own these tech. stocks: ETF IGM, ETF ARKK, and NIO ( I guess not a tech stock). I have approx. $35K in my TFSA to invest. I know you like KXS, SHOP & LSPD - I do not see the same returns as has happened this year and they are not value at this point IMHO. ERGO, three or four of your best suggestions going forward - equal weighting please.
