Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Can you comment on why Organigram has not yet listed on a more senior exchange?It seems to me this would expand its attractiveness to a wider shareholder base and perhaps given its size from a market cap perspective allow the company to be included in indexes.Do they have any plans to apply to either Nasdaq and/ or TSX exchange listings?

Q: Hi Peter,
I've just become a member of 5i Research so trying to determine a few stocks to start buying into. TOY has always intrigued me and based on the recent weakness and your answers to recent questions on the company seems good for new money for a long term horizon. What other 2-3 names would you consider for new money. 3 year term horizon, don't mind short term volatility. Thanks

Q: I'm looking to invest a small amount of money for an 8 year old, primarily to introduce him to investing. I'd like to invest in companies that he can see the name of around the city, or in his hand to make it 'real' to him. Are there 2-3 such companies that you could recommend for a keen youngster? An ETF that includes recognizable companies to a child is an option, if you can recommend one also.

Q: Looking to purchase a position in something (sector or weight not important) with good growth potential over 2-5 years looking for both US and CDN opportunities. Two names popped up recently on my radar TRQ and Chemtrade . Realize that both are completely different and would like your opinion on both and recommendations of 3-4 alternatives. Feel free to deduct credits as required.
Cheers

Q: May I please have your latest view on GRUB? I note DoorDash has very recently surpassed it as the top on-demand food delivery service in terms of dollars spent, and its increase in share seems to have come almost entirely at GRUB's expense. I have only a very small position, made much smaller over the past few months. Time to move onto one of the many better (or better behaving!) opportunities out there?

Q: I have been investigating ESPORTS and some numbers are incredible. This seems to be another disruptive force poised for growth. The Patriots owner has just bought a team and even the Olympics are looking at it.
I see three ETF’s for esports. GAMR. Fidelity,79 holdings $95m AUM; ESPO. Vaneck, 25 holdings $13m AUM; NERD Quaterhill small new 25 holdings.
I am looking at a small position through my TFSA of 1.5 % of my total portfolio including RSP and cash accounts. Also considering adding 5% ( of the 1.5%) of TSGI ( their future is online sports gambling, not no/ slow grow poker) to round the theme.
What do you know of this industry? Would you recommend another approach? Any specific recommendations? Thanks. Derek
