Q: Hello Team,

Is their an American tobaco ETF that covers these 3 stocks that are mentioned in your
5i Research report on the Marijuana Industry? ( Fantastic read).
Plus, all things considered between the 3, which individual stock is the most likely in your opinion to get involved in the Industry?

Thanks,
Stephen

Q: Thank you for the special report on marijuana. I bought in Canopy growth prior to the liberals getting elected on the advice of a friend who assumed they would win and legalized weed...then sold at $15 thinking it was way too overvalued.

I am wanting to invest in a company again, would Aphria not be the safest place to put some money? They actually earn a profit as you detailed, why is it not being valued as high? Is it because they are not really players in the recreational market (yet)? They have the lowest cost and make money, seems like the best play? What am I missing?

Q: I'm confused with your explanation on this arrangement. Please help me understand how many ACB shares I would get under the following two 20 Day VWAP scenarios:
If the VWAP is $10, how many would I get?
If the VWAP is $15, how many would I get?
Thanks as always for your amazing service!

Q: I know you have reservations about the company's history and certain individuals, but momentum has been good recently. On Oct. 17 at midday, about 120,000 shares ($1 million) traded in a few minutes, which I assume was an institutional order. Total volume for the day was near 600,000 shares, which has only occurred a few other times earlier this year, when the share price was much lower. Are you aware of any increasing institutional interest in VMD?

Q: What did you think of Aphria's earnings? Looks like they delivered eps of 9 cents a share when $0.00 was expected. Thompson Reuters has their current fiscal year (2019) estimates at 14 cents. Looks like a muted outlook considering what I thought was a pretty decent Q1.

Your thoughts?

Q: I owned ICC Labs which got a take over offer from Aurora to be paid in ACB shares. ACB price has gone crazy while ICC is still trading below the offer price. I must be missing something cos I cant figure out why everyone isn't buying ICC shares to give them up in exchange for ACB shares valued at the time of the deal. Thanks!

Q: Good Morning 5i
With Oct. 17th. approaching do you see "profit taking" hitting SP hard, followed by rise with news? Or steady price levels awaiting expected news of deployment of $5B of Constellation investment in the firm? Do you expect more institutional and fund ownership with legalization occurring. I am long holder atleast until end of 2019. Thanks for any insight you can offer.

Q: For lack of better words, many stocks are presently on sale OR are atleast much lower than we paid for them, sometimes by a huge (very huge) margin. Assuming these opportunities are real, it would be an ideal time to add a little.

My understanding of your assessment is that you have high hopes for this company, believe that nothing has changed other than unpredictable market forces.

The stock has really dropped, which does not imply a bargain if it is still overpriced; however, my understanding is that we liked the stock at $2.00 and nothing has changed, so I must believe that this a great buying opportunity as long as we continue to properly diversify and understand that this may take 5-10 years. Your thoughts on this as a buying opportunity? Any new input from their mgmt? Any concerns with cash burnout over time? Other than wishing there were more sales contracts (which is definitely key), any other issues?

I ask these questions because I feel that we like to jump on the bandwagon when it is moving uphill with great momentum but want to ignore it when it is unwanted, even though it is the same bandwagon (i.e. same fundamentals). As a general comment are we not following a herd mentality (which is not wrong in itself on many occassions)? Should we not be greedy (at times) when others are fearful? I know this these are hard, fundamental questions about investing but your thoughts are appreciated OR maybe this could be the theme of a future blog... (I think that these are opportune times to pick up shares in companies we like even though their momentum is negative, even though we are buying the dips, even though we are possibly doubling down...)

As an aside, this was recently published. I just saw it this morning.
