Q: Hello 5I team
Would it be a good idea to short HMMJ or a Canadian Healthcare ETF? How much of the Canadian health care sector is Marijuana. Would there be a catalyst or a cue you use to determine when and if this is a good idea? Also how might you structure such a call? I have not shorted any equity so I am rather green on this. Also I am looking forward to the Moneyshow. Thanks for all the work you do to make this event a success and all the endless questions here. Jeremy

Q: Hi team, this year For tax purposes I want to sell open text, PBH, Go Easy and Methanex and repurchase them in 30 days. I own most of the growth portfolio. My question is: what is a suitable time to do this? Should I wait after a possible nafta deal? Thank you!

Q: Peter; Just a comment - it seems to me all the cannabis stocks are basiallly mimicking CPG in its hey days of using its share price to acquire other companies and assets. And now look at it. ! Rod

Q: I know that no one can predict the next market correction/ recession, but with the Yield curve getting quite close to inverting, being this long in the cycle, and low unemployment, how cautious should I be at this time.

I normally just continue investing every couple months.

With your advice I feel quite diversified across many sectors with some international investments in as well. That being said, is now or ever a good time to trim a little bit of everything have have cash ready for the next crash.

Would you ever invest in an inverse ETF during a market crash/correction, or is cash the better holding during that time?

If I think a crash may come in the next few months what percentage of cash would be an acceptable amount.

Thanks, Colin.
