Q: I understand that Alaris wrote off the debt on the two companies but has it accounted for the original preferreds? In other words, are there still more write-offs possible for these two companies or have they really cleared the deck?

Q: In light of CIBC's recently-released report that pot sales could reach $6.5B, which could top spirits' revenue, by 2020, what would your top three picks be and are they presently overvalued?

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
One of my portfolios closely tracks the Balanced Equity Portfolio holdings. However I have substituted STN for WSP thinking that STN will get it going at some point. Also I have split the allocation to energy producers between WCP and PEY so that I have light oil as well as gas exposure. I would appreciate your expert opinion of these substitutions. Thank you very much. DL

Q: Hi there,
I am an investor who generally does not like single company risk so i often end up with small groupings of stocks in the same line of business.

Can you explain to me which of these business is likely to do better going forward and if you had to drop one which would it be. (i am thinking Winpak)

Thanks for all you do.

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,

Pls comment on ESIO quarterly earnings and outlook, the stock looks cheap and the earning looked good, but the share price with a big swing and reversed to drop as much as 7% (recovered a bit at time of typing).
