Q: Set to begin trading in New York on Feb 25th as of recent news. Had a nice bump yesterday. Can you give your thoughts on the following?
1. How does this stack up to bigger name producers in terms of value and potential? It is certainly less publicized
2. Looking back at other pot stocks that began trading in the US (2 i think?) what type of jump, if any, does the beginning of US trading have on prices?

Thanks!

Q: Hello Peter & Ryan, I am wondering why Crius simply said it received another unsolicited offer by a second company that was superior to the first one and offered that to explain the increase in the purchase price of the first offer. Do you find it unusual for Crius not to give us (the shareholders) the details of this second offer? Who was it from, was it all cash, was it a combination of cash and shares in their company etc... Maybe this information war released and I missed it? Thanks.
Mario.

Q: Your recent comments on DOO:
We think DOO is still good. Solid earnings growth is still expected, and at only 12X earnings investors are not expecting much. As rates rose investors shied away from the stock, but as rates peak (as long as jobs remain strong) we would expect confidence to return here. It has beaten estimates 8 quarters in a row and the last quarter's EPS beat by 6%.

My question:
Your comments don't suggest that the company has done anything wrong (quite the opposite really) and yet the stock has gone down by 50%. Unlike KXS, NFI, SIS, TSGI and others that had announcements that drove significant temporary declines, I can't see anything like that here. Is this stock therefore not being punished unfairly and ripe for rebound? To what do you attribute the wholesale abandonment of the stock? It would not seem that such strong selling pressure is warranted. What is the case against buying vs FOR buying?

Q: I manage a portfolio for my mother and I am looking for an investment which will NOT generate any income (Interest or Dividends). This will be about 20% of her portfolio and reside in a non Registered account. I have come up with the two ETF's above to provide diversification in both CA and US. Would there be better alternatives I could consider in individual stocks or other ETF's. All other investment's are in TFSA and RRIF accounts and she will never need the capital. So this is a long term investment.

Q: Can you provide an update on RHT? It seems to have found a technical bottom since november and has made 3 successive higher lows as it moves up and down. What are the fundamentals like? How much of the fundamental strength that you initially saw still exists? Is this a dead (patient home monitoring type) company or just one that you lost patience with and could/should still go. I admit not to have looked into them beyond your recommendation so a summary of their potential catalysts and pitfalls over the next year would be amazing. Take a couple credits if needed to provide a full and thorough answer please.

Thanks

Q: Can you expand more on your most recent answer regarding AYX. "Some analysts believe it has a unique solution with little real competition, which of course we like. "

What exactly do they do? what solution are you referring to? 6 questions/answers only showing for on this company (as you noted it hasnt been public for long), 5 in the last month, 5i seems quite "bullish" on the stock so I am very intrigued. Thank you!
