Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I noticed that pot companies like WEED fall within the Healthcare sector. Why wouldn't pot companies be categorized like tobacco and liquor stocks? Also, there is a lot of hype associated with pot stocks and I sometimes wonder if investors are not taking into account the potential risks - health problems related to smoking and the mental issues to some users. I recall a time when tobacco was advertised by medical doctors and now tobacco companies are being sued.

Q: Another service really likes fertility company Hamilton Thorne and has made it a recommendation. Progyny in the US seems to be doing well in a related business so I wanted your thoughts. With people marrying later the theme seems to make sense. Do you like it? A brief example of the write is up below. They write interesting stuff but don't have your track record so I'd love to know what 5i thinks.

When we recommended Hamilton Thorne back in August, we believed the strategy for growth was three-pronged, involving both acquisitions and organic opportunity as well as margin improvement along the way. Recent results fully support our belief, and we’re firmly of the mind that we’re nicely on track.

Q: I really liked the recent results from Tecsys, showing excellent growth of revenue and profit, and initiated a small position. Thinking of adding some more. Seems like a less expensive logistics/supply chain type company than Descartes, which seems pricey to me, for the growth rate DSG has. Do you like TCS, or is DSG a better buy here for long term growth? Thanks.

Could you give us two names from each category that you feel have shot at winding up on BNN 2030 list for top ten stocks of the decade? With your great help I managed to own several from the 2010 list! Thanks so much!
