Q: Hi Everyone at 5i! Happy Thanksgiving! There are two companies developing cannabis detecting breathalyzers( that I know of) One is Canadian..Sanntek and a larger US company Hound lab....Is there any opportunity to invest in either of these companies at the present time? I have a feeling that they are privately owned. Could you give me some insight and your opinion? Cheers, Tamara

Q: I own 8000 shares of DHX. With the rights offering, does that mean I will get 8000 rights at $1.67 free and I can sell them anytime until November 15 or convert them by buying 8000 more shares at $1.67? Not sure what to do with this information. I think a right gives you the right to buy the shares before the expiration date at a certain price and if you don’t they expire? Can you clarify for me please and if you owned the shares would you convert the rights?
As I averaged down over the years I hold my 8000 shares at a cost of $2.10.

Q: Hi,
Morguard has bought a substantial position in PLZ and since the news release the stock keep moving up. I have sold 20% of my position because I do not believe that a takeover is in the cards but I am starting to doubt. Do you know who was the seller(s)? Michael Zakuta, the best REIT CEO in my opinion ( I worked 20 years in real estate), is the major shareholder and is still buying regularly. Has Morguard ever done a takeover? or taking a company private with management?
Thank you in advance

Q: Dear 5i,
I am interested in speculating on this company with $1,000 to $2,000 which I am prepared to lose. Should I purchase this in my TFSA or NonReg account so I can use the tax loss if necessary? Can you explain your rationale for choosing one account over the other. I purchased Prometics awhile back and it did not turn out well. Would you say "ATE" has the same risk level as PLI?

thanks

Q: Thoughts on this company please. Apparently, they use PyroGenesis' technology to produce silicon. CEO claims that this quarter they will be producing silicon wafers for the battery industry. Apparently switching from graphite to silicon in batteries is the 'Holy Grail' as it increases capacity by 10x.
Thanks.
