Can you give me your thoughts on lassonde industries.

Would you recommend taking a position at this time.

Thanks for the outstanding service!

Q: You mention that HCG may be a good play post Brexit. I note that they had two substantially reduced dividend payments in 2014. Are you aware what the reason for that might have been? Just wondering if there is anything on their horizon that might cause that to happen again?
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i team

Any thoughts on the possibility of Magna working for GOOGL and/or AAPL? I have read a few articles on this. How far down the road might this be?
Also, would it be possible to post the stock price as part of the answer? As an example- Magna MG $44?.... Or too cumbersome ? Thank you

Q: Hi 5i,

Say you were to sell shares of CXR.TO in a Canadian Dollar account at a loss and then purchase shares of CXRX.US in a US dollar account. Am I right assume you cannot claim the loss for tax-loss selling because you are ultimately buying the same security?

Thanks, Shane
