Q: Hi 5i team. I'm looking to distribute some of my mj profits. Do you still like sis. It's had a pretty good run lately. Are there other companies you like more. I still have mj investments so something a little safer but still with growth potential. I'm still 10yrs from retirement so time isn't that important. Thanks.

Q: Hello Santa

For my TFSA contribution in 2018 would you suggest KXS or SIS? I do hold a 5% position in SIS in my cash account but am not concerned about an overweighting if the better value, safety and prospects for SIS outweighs those of KXS.

Merry Christmas to all your staff and elves. I value your help.

Peter

Q: I am investing the 52000 plus whatever the amount is for 2018 in my wife's TFSA. With a 10-15 year time-frame might I be considering a couple of quality ETF's or would you advise the purchase of 5 or 6 quality stocks? What might you suggest to consider? She does like the Dollarama idea which you recently recommended. Also would you recommend holding off until the new year to get the ball rolling or invest now? Thanks

Q: Hi 5iResearch Team,
I have finally decided to give up my full position on ZCL and was wondering if you can recommend something regardless of sector/industry, to take its place. Preferably I would like something with a dividend but it is not a must. As always, good works guys.
Cheers,

Q: My 20 year old contributed $21k to his TFSA in July, purchasing roughly equal amounts of KXS, PHO, SIS, TOY and PUR. He just sold his PUR shares and now has about 26% of his now $27.6k portfolio in cash. KXS represents about 14% of his portfolio (down approx. 8% from July), PHO 20%/+33%; SIS 17%/+14% and TOY 23%/+43%. Are there one or two names you could suggest to add to his portfolio? Or would he better off maybe topping up a couple of his current holdings (KXS? SIS?). This is for a long term hold. Love your service. Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,
Cannimed has provided the following press release
http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20171130006170/en/Actions-Words-Aurora-CEO%E2%80%99s-Actions-Reveal-Aurora
which basically illustrates insider selling by Aurora executives on November 28, 2017 while Aurora is in the midst of a takeover of Cannimed.
How is this recent information on insider selling obtained? I am thinking of adding to Savaria Corp giving it total of 5 percent weight and Knight to 7 percent given its recent weakness. Any comments please. Thanks again

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,
Yangarra resources was going up while other oil stocks were going down. However, today Yangarra Resources barely moved much when other oil stocks surged given the news on OPEC production cut. Any comments? Also, Savaria surged a bit today. Was there any news? In general, when a particular stock stays within a narrow range when all the others in the sector are moving up alot, what does it mean for that particular stock? For example, today MedLeaf hovered around 1 percent range whereas the other cannibis stocks including the ETF HMMJ surged considerably. The same was true the day before when the cannibis stocks were down , MedLeaf stayed in the one percent range. Thank you.

Q: Hi guys, I'm looking at your response to 'who's likely to suffer when NAFTA gets torn up' (which seems increasingly likely)... I have held these for a long time and been VERY happy with all of them, but is it time to trim them down? Do you think the NAFTA threat is sufficiently priced in? I'd love to get your thoughts on each one. Thanks! PS -- you can ding me for 5 questions :-)
