Q: With the new technology of lab grown THC and CBD
from Cronos. Will this give it a cost advantage going forward. I find this fascinating ,why grow the plant when you can go directly to the end product.
I take this process is similar to the fermentation of brewing beer.
I would think this technology could become very disruptive to the weed industry. What is your opinion on this tech. and does Cronos look good going forward? In other words is it a buy ?
Thanks
Cal

Q: I've been interested in SEDG for the past couple of weeks and I don't own many stocks in this industry. Do you think now would be a good time to get in? Additionally, I'd like to avoid going beyond approximately 20 stocks in the portfolio, so adding SEDG would mean selling my position in one of the other four stocks above. Do you see greater potential in SEDG over the next 3-5 years? Or would it be better to build on the positions I already have?

Thanks

Q: There will have to be a significant electrical buildout to facilitate a wide based conversion to EV. Everything from Power Production thru both new and upgraded Distribution to Charging Facilities and their components and other electrical elements I haven't thought of will benefit.
Who will be the biggest beneficiaries?
Will there be be clear winners in power production, presumably among renewable energy companies? What about their suppliers?
Will distribution equipment suppliers like GE and Siemens be rejuvenated? Who's best in class in their sector - one of them, Mitsubishi or?
In Electrical Distribution is there any clear leader or is it so decentralized that all the Fortis' and NEE's etc. benefit.
Will ATD.B and its competitors actually see growth in facilities and same store sales etc.
To what extent will energy storage be required and at what stage?

Thank you, Hugh

Q: Great and timely article yesterday on this "Phoenix market". With that in mind, which companies in the US manufacturing, health care, energy and technology industries would you be comfortable putting money into today with a 10 plus year hold with a medium/high risk tolerance? Are there any US names that you think should be full positions in the majority of such portfolios? Please feel free to deduct as many question credits as you deem appropriate.

Q: Hi Team,
I have no exposure to the online gambling theme that seems to have promise for growth. Do you still believe that this is a good theme to be buying into for the long term? And if so, what's the best way to play it? I was thinking Flutter? But, its came a long way from its 52 week lows. What's the chances of it going back to that level and was the rise justified? And do you believe it's uptrend will continue long term? I know you also mentioned before it has a much better valuation than Draftkings, although DKNG still seems to move with more leverage for the time being. I wonder if Flutter will eye a US listing to get their valuation up? I never hear Flutter talked about on sites such as CNBC. ( I assume its because its a European Company and CNBC would rather talk about Draftkings)? Another possiblity I was looking at was Score Media. Please let me know your thoughts.

Also on a seperate topic...CELH has dipped some off its highs. Is it a buy today. And your quick thoughts on how big of potential you see this company having in 5-10yrs. Is it a stock that could multi-bag from here? Deduct as many points as required. Thanks!

Shane.

Q: Could you please recommend a couple of replacement(s) for Great Cdn Gaming? It can be US or CDN and I'd like the replacement companies to have great management teams and be in the same sector. Companies in the leisure and entertainment space you think will come out of this crisis bigger and better. It doesn't necessarily have to be a casino company. Thanks a lot.

Q: Am I wrong in thinking the Telus International IPO is going to do well after it debuts? It seems to have all the elements of recent hot ipos: artificial intelligence, big-name contracts with Google and Uber, a doubling of revenue in just two years between 2017 and 2019. In fact, it is generating earnings unlike other rapidly growing digital companies like Lightspeed, Dye and Durham, Docebo. Is it a buy in your opinion?
