Q: I read tonight from the 5i report that FSV recently bought a commercial real estate management company. I thought when FSV and CIGI split FSV would manage residential real estate and CIGI would manage commercial real estate. If this is true is the most recent acquisition troubling as FSV is getting out of its level of expertise (managing residential real estate)? Will it now be in direct competition with CIGI?

Q: I own 8000 shares of DHX. With the rights offering, does that mean I will get 8000 rights at $1.67 free and I can sell them anytime until November 15 or convert them by buying 8000 more shares at $1.67? Not sure what to do with this information. I think a right gives you the right to buy the shares before the expiration date at a certain price and if you don’t they expire? Can you clarify for me please and if you owned the shares would you convert the rights?
As I averaged down over the years I hold my 8000 shares at a cost of $2.10.

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.
