Q: Hello Peter,
When emerging companies come to market like in high tech or other sectors, revenues seems to be the focus rather than profits especially in the early years. However, for the cannabis companies, the expectation is they have profits fairly quickly. Why is there so much pressure on these companies? For example, organigram had good revenues but did not meet profits and their stock took a hit. Hexo , unfortunately, messed up on the guidance for revenues and it is down which makes sense. Do you see the pot sector heading on a downward slope or do you think there is a chance of recovery? Thanks very much.

Q: Hello, I have a conservative portfolio consisting of dividend-paying Canadian Stocks, Bonds, and some private Real Estate and Mortage Funds.

It has been suggested to me that adding some of the 3iQ Cryptocurrency Asset Fund would provide some needed diversity to my account and also provide some hedging to lower interest rates. Would you recommend adding this fund to my portfolio for these purposes?
Do you have any other t ype of assets that you would recommend to achieve added diversification and hedging to the portfolio? Thank you Alan

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?
