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 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: Hello, I currently own RCI.b. As part of portfolio renovations suggested by your service, I am underweight US. A switch from RCI to VZ would help , would you support this move? Any other US based companies or etf's in communication that would be better?
Thanks

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: Good Morning.
Do you know why CYRX has been so volatile the last couple of days. There was an announcement about a new contract signing but the market should have digested it by now.
Thanks for your help.

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.

Q: Good your thoughts on Mac -us

Q: A guest of BNN suggested that seniors looking for yield should consider the larger US Industrials. He feels that the Industrial sector is already in recession and priced lower that results in good yields. Need to select ones with ability to continue paying dividend thru a rough patch.
Could you suggest ones that align with this theory.

Q: Looking to purchase full positions in large caps with steady growth, at least a 2% dividend, and low debt in both the consumer defensive and cyclical sectors. Canadian and US names both appreciated. Thank you.

Q: Based on my portfolio review, I need to increase my pharmaceutical weighing. Although you do not follow US companies closely, could you give me your best recommendations for 3 US pharmaceutical Companies. My only holding at the moment is Pfizer. Could you give me your opinion on this company please?

Q: Dear Sirs,
What is your opinion/view on this company?
Would you buy at these levels?

Thanks
