Q: Hello, since the beginning of the year Altria (MO) stock has decreased by more than 20% in value. Has the time come to let it go? Do you believe there is a possibility that Altria could get into the Marijuana / Cannabis business? In your opinion, what would be the best 3 or 4 alternatives to (MO) in the US non cyclical sector (consumer defensive sector) right now? Thanks, Gervais

Q: About a year about, I purchased CVS as a hedge against a downturn in the US health care. Since then CVS price dropped nearly 20 since then....first attributed to Amazon purchasing a grocer retailer, then recovered somewhat but then declined because of the news of three large parties, including Amazon planning to get into the health care sector to reduce costs to consumers. Seems CVS is out of favour...and could be so for sometime. Question - do I hold or do I let it go and focus on another US stock and what names would you suggest?

Q: Could AMZN prior to buying Whole Foods short stocks like Kroger, Costco, Target and Wal Mart and use the money made on the short to buy Whole Foods for the win?
Most companies use cash to buy equities. Or would this be totally offside?
