Q: As can be seen, Cresco Labs is acquiring CannaRoyalty Corp. Can you provide any reasons why there is such a disparity between the price of OH and CL as we head towards completion of the takeover? As I write, CL is worth $15.65 yet OH trades at only $11.28. Based on the ratio of shares of CL they will receive, OH should be worth $13.19. If the deal was going to close in a year I might understand but it should be closing within a few weeks so the spread seems inordinately large.
Many thanks.

Q: Why has Yangarra become so cheap? I was considering taking a position since it was a very strong performer over the last 2 years (maybe even the best performer next to PXT), up until November. I'm pretty sure its due to the price of NatGas falling from November on to new lows and YGR is like 50% gas. Do you see a lot of potential in getting such a strong performer when the share price is so beaten down or is it best to avoid NatGas stocks since there is no way of knowing how long it stays down with so much supply?

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

In our combined portfolio (RRIF, RRSP, TFSAs, and non-registered account), we are underweight in Information Technology. 5i's latest recommendation for this sector's weighting is 15%, but we are at 13.4%.

We hold these stocks/ETF followed by their weighting:
CSU: 5.67%
ENGH: 2.38%
KXS: 1.09%
OTEX: 2.50%
SYZ: 0.92%
XIT: 0.91% (We use it to park cash as it's a commission-free ETF for us)

My wife has a preference for holding dividend payers (even a small dividend) in her RRSP. In her RRSP, she holds a 1.51 % position in CSU, and the full 2.38% of ENGH. In order to increase the IT weighting to 15%, she needs to invest $19,500. There is sufficient cash in her RRSP for this purchase. What course of action would you suggest? Should she top up her position in ENGH? Or should she start a new position in ET or OTEX?

Please deduct sufficient credits for this rather convoluted question. Your guidance is very valuable to us.
