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?

Q: I currently hold a full position in NFLX. But competitors, like DIS. with stronger balance sheets are or likely to undercut Netflix’s prices. NFLX shares are down in the past three months after falling short of subscriber growth targets in the second quarter. With this change in business circumstances for NFLX, should I continue to hold NFLZ long term or switch to DIS or take a half position in both..........thanks for your take..........Tom

Q: HPQ was slowly working its way higher until it was hit by a ten percent fall last week. the fall occurred, apparently, because of a new director coming in and the decision to cut a number of jobs. I was a bit puzzled by this and wondered about your thoughts on the company. It seems to me that investors often like cuts, as they are meant to produce more money. Yet, here it is a reason for a drop. Perhaps the people don't like the new president? but, you would think that he would have been well known by this time. Perhaps they think that the new policy of cuts from a new president may be reckless and its efficacy is uncertain? I have been thinking of opening a position in the hope it will soon recover that ten percent it lost. I don't want to have this stock as part of my permanent portfolio but simpy as a trade. are there any cautionary remarks you might make on this strategy?
thanks

Q: You have been quite negative in your commentary about Kraft Heinz. Unfortunately I hold it in my RRIF and hang onto it for the yield of about 6% at the current price. Since I need the income to live on, and can't claim the capital loss, should I hang onto it for income or switch into something else? If the latter, what alternative investment(s) could you suggest with comparable safety of yield and long term buy-and-hold potential?

Q: I have HON for 5 years now. I just bought some UTX because of the merger and the spinoffs added value potential. Could I have your thoughts on both these companies for the next year and for the next 5 years to help me decide if I keep both or move all the money to one stock.
