Q: Hi Peter and team,
I'm looking at gaining specific exposure to four new "industries" with promise, Driverless car technology, Drone technology, vape industry and the marijuana business (Canada). Although all are in their early stages, I would like to acquire quality positions for the long term. I realize there is significant risk at the early stage and would be interested in owning the best part of each industry, i.e. technology, rights, patents etc. I'm very interested in how you would approach this question.

Q: Symbility has made many announcements over the past year or two which sound positive but the stock price bounces around mostly with a gradual downtrend. Can you update your thoughts on this company? What might be a potential catalyst? Are there any concerns or red or yellow flags here. I am patient and willing to wait. Thank you and Happy New Year.

Q: What is your opinion on Park Lawn Corp, a cemetery and funeral home operator that is growing by acquisition?

I currently hold a 2.0% weighting of this company in my portfolio. Considering that this is a small company and that I am a risk tolerant investor, does this weighting seem appropriate. In light of a recent acquisition in Michigan, I have been considering bumping it up to 3-4%.

Thanks.

Q: Good morning Peter and Team,

Is the thesis for PUR still there? How much of their revenue come from oil and gas compared to municipal? It has been beaten down to 1% of my portfolio so do you recommend I top up to a reasonable weighting or let it go? Thanks,

Wes

Q: I originally posted this in the markets forum but did not get any response. Perhaps it was inappropriate for that forum? Anyway I thought I would pose it as an official question.
I am trying to set up a little environmentally friendly “GREEN” investment portfolio. I would like to have ten Canadian (or traded on the Canadian markets) publicly traded stocks, I would like to avoid the power generators wind, solar and hydro and focus more on cleaning up the environment.
For example something like water purification or a bicycle manufacture would qualify.
I am having trouble identifying qualified companies. Either they are not available or my research methods are not effective.
So far I have identified the following four companies. And even then two are closely linked to oil production and are pretty shaky right now.
1. Questor (QST)
2. Newalta (NAL)
3. Lumenpulse(LMP)
4. Vitreous Glass (VCI)
I wonder if you can suggest additional companies or might have some tips to improve my research.

Q: Recent news has caused this stock to increase substantially in the past few days. Good and compelling story. That said I have been trying to determine the manufacturing capability of the company. The software should be simple enough but the manufacturing and installation is another kettle of fish. In other words how many seats can this company manufacture in a year and at maximum output what does this represent in terms of growth? Nice to get huge orders but can you deliver. I can't get a reading on this. Perhaps you have insight.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and Team;
My attention was brought to PTM by a video on BNN. Production is anticipated to commence in Q1 2016. I am thinking it might be an opportunity to buy now. I note there are 768.9M shares outstanding. It would be great to hear the current opinion of this company.
