Q: Dear 5i;
I believe that voice recognition for many PDA devices is going to be a big thing in the future . To that end microphone arrays will be an integral component (hardware ) to accomplish this . Can you provide me one or two names of manufacturers of said arrays ?
Thanks

Q: Hello Peter,
I am surprised that with legalization in some states in USA that there are not many pure cannabis companies trading on the larger exchanges as they are in Canada (i.e. TSX). I did searches on companies in Colorado and California and found very little other than smaller players trading in over the counter. Any comments? Also, is it too risky to invest in companies over the counter. One of the picks was from Goldman Sachs and that was an over the counter company which in some ways may confirm what i was indicating above that there does not seem to be too many companies on major exchanges. I would appreciate your input on any companies that you maybe aware of in the legalized states and if over the counter is too risky. Many thanks and Happy new year.

Q: I have noticed in several of your Q&A responses that you "like the water theme". Can you please elaborate on what it is that you like about this space. What Canadian equities would you recommend adding to a TFSA for some exposure in this sector and why?

Thanks for your great services this year!

Q: 1) Even Stephen Poloz, Governor of the Bank of Canada, has set aside the issue of NAFTA claiming there remains uncertainty until he knows more about the nature of the risk, he will not focus of that topic. The much greater risk to Canada will be the US Tax Reform. Will Canadians also shift business to the States because it will save 50% in taxes. So, the tax reform is a far bigger issue than NAFTA. How would a Canadian company's move to the US affect me as a shareholder?

2) It appears the flight from income taxed states, especially California, to Texas and Florida particularly, will continue. Seven U.S. states currently don’t have an income tax: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. Residents of New Hampshire and Tennessee also, though they may pay tax on dividends and income from investments. I understand that four states, Minnesota, Alaska, Connecticut, and New Jersey, and the District of Columbia levy corporate income tax rates of 9% or higher. These are the States that may see the withdraw of many corporate headquarters. Six states, North Carolina, North Dakota, Colorado, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Utah, have top rates at or below 5%. Is there any benefit long term to investing in companies headquartered in non taxed States?
