Q: Noted Peter's two top picks earlier this week , ECN and SHOP.
The stories may sound good but could you comment on the fundamentals on both of these companies.
ECN, reduced revenue in 2/3 last quarters and EPS down in past two quarters, increase in diluted shares in past year. Balance sheet looks iffy with increasing debt.
SHOP, net income down, eps down, negative free cash flow, negative ROE, negative ROIC., but nice balance sheet with lots of cash.
If these are top picks , why are neither owned by guest, households, investment banker clients or guest firm or affiliates as indicated on disclosure at end of top picks?
Thanks
Jeff

Q: LTV has just announced it's intention to make an "initial coin offering" (ICO) in mid 2018 in order to support further development of its block chain technology. I 'm not familiar with the ICO term and would appreciate your explanation of it. Hope all of you at 5i have a very restful and merry Christmas.

Q: PHM finally split yesterday. Should I keep both, PHM & spin off Viamed. Thanks!
As a result of the Arrangement, among other things, shareholders of PHM (the "Shareholders"), as of close of business on December 21, 2017, received one new PHM common share (a "New PHM Share") and one-tenth (1/10) of one common share of Viemed (a "Viemed Share") for each common share of PHM held by such Shareholder immediately before the completion of the Arrangement.

Q: Please forgive my attempt to confuse everyone at 5i. This Cannabis business & all its many names can be confusing. However, in my late evening email to you, I stupidly entered ACB instead of CBW. My basic concern was really whether this FV FARMA has the financing or the ability to get the financing to develop this very large project.

Q: Good Morning 5i team,

re: Cannabis... QCC gained 50% in the past 3 weeks and over 25% today after announcing the first two sales of their patented BOSS CO2 Extraction System. And expectations have it there are a number of additional sales expected in January with many more in the pike.

I know you have told us this is a small company with little attention being paid, so it is risky. Cannabis Oil is they wave of the future and from what I have learned, this BOSS system is impressive. I also know extraction of "high quality" Oil is a difficult process to master and it sounds like these guys have figured it out.

Would I be a fool to invest in this company?

Thanks for all you do
