Q: Hello,

The family RESP is composed of 15% VGG and 15% XQQ with the balance spread roughly evenly over the remaining stocks listed above. I would appreciate your suggestion for an additional position. The oldest child is 8 years away from post secondary.

Thank-you.

Q: After reading your most recent comments on the TSGI/FLTR transaction, I checked with my broker about the possibility of selling FLTR after the transaction closes in Q3 2020. My broker doesn't handle anything but CDN and USA stock exchanges. You've suggested that selling TSGI nearer the closing date (a year from now) might carry increased risk of share decline. That said, should I sell my $10k investment fairly soon, or sit and wait a while? Thanks.

Q: Happy Monday.. I just wanted to thank you for advising us to be cautious on the marijuana sector for the past two years. I know you took some heat as they were going up for not recommending the stocks in the sector but it really looks like the party is over now with HEXO, TRST, TGOD and all the other problem companies. It is hard to believe that after the investment banker frenzy some companies are having a hard time now financing growth. Anyway, thank you.

Q: Marijuana stocks: “Dead Cat Bounce” or Trend reversal

Examples: Weed, Hexo, HMMJ,TLRY, VFF

After some major drops in share prices, the last couple of days have seen some nice and welcomed increases.
Do you see this a a Dead Cat bounce or a trend reversal.
If a trend reversal, do you see significantly more upside potential in any of the above.

Thanks .
BTW .... thanks for the excellent answer to my bonds not doing their job question. 5i certainly is ...in every way.

Q: Hi there, ATZ quarterly results looked strong (however as did the past Q's), but the stock does not really seem to gain much attention and attraction since IPO. What are your thoughts on this company and do you foresee it eventually gaining traction like such Canadian brands like Lululemon or Canada Goose? Does it need a US listing to gain attention and investors? Would you step in today? If so, at a full or half position? Thanks!

Q: Hello Peter,
When emerging companies come to market like in high tech or other sectors, revenues seems to be the focus rather than profits especially in the early years. However, for the cannabis companies, the expectation is they have profits fairly quickly. Why is there so much pressure on these companies? For example, organigram had good revenues but did not meet profits and their stock took a hit. Hexo , unfortunately, messed up on the guidance for revenues and it is down which makes sense. Do you see the pot sector heading on a downward slope or do you think there is a chance of recovery? Thanks very much.
