Q: Thoughts on dtea's results? Stock got punished, but it appears to be a broken growth stock, which can be painful. Also they burned through a ton of cash. Is this a case of great product but poor stock?

Q: A few questions have mentionned the ETF XBB. Since its fee is 0.34% versus ZAG's fee of 0.23%, shouldn't we go for ZAG? I also like the fact that ZAG is a BMO product which means I pay fees to a canadian company rather than a U.S company (bonus points). Thank you.

Q: With the Bloomberg article yesterday on the potential bubble in Marijuana stocks in Canada (also you have warn us about these stocks), I was wondering if there was a way to profit from this. Would you suggest shorting 3 or 4 of these stocks? And if so do you have some suggestions?
