Investment Q&A

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

Q: Can I get your current marijuana picks (one larger cap, one mid cap, and one smaller cap), with the criteria being eps growth, revenue growth, and balance sheet strength?

I started doing a little work on Organigram and unless I am mistaken, it looks like it has a forward p/e of 40 (eps numbers obtained from Thompson Reuters), low debt and a relatively small number of shares compared to its peers. These numbers dont look too shabby to me, against the backdrop of its higher valuation peers. Is there anything specifically in OGI's profile that could pose challenges in the future?

Thanks.

John

Q: I'm currently invested in (and seem to be treading water on) SCHW. Given your confidence in GC, I'm wondering if a switch might be prudent? One concern is that I already own TSGI (Thank you!) and I am wondering if this would be a bit redundant?

Q: Please give me your thoughts re Diageo interest in pot stocks. I have done very well on Canopy and currently over 400% increase, however I feel price is too high to buy more. I want to get some more exposure to pot market and am considering Aphria and Aurora. I note that Aurora has more than double the market cap of Aphria and I have heard that Aurora has through many stock only aquisitions is quite highly leveraged, and Aphria with the CEO having a Jameson background is more suited to medical side. Would you suggest buying a smaller position in both or select one? Thanks for your unbiased knowledge.
Cheers,Doug

Q: Hi team,
I know this is a difficult, and perhaps speculative question; but what would be your top couple picks today for a growth stock that is capable and in your view, likely, to replicate the long term stellar performance of a stock such as CSU? I am looking for a long term, steady eddy growth that is capable of over years, producing that (000's of % return that CSU for example has done. Would you consider KXS a junior CSU? Or perhaps something such as pho? Give me your best, educated couple picks. Thanks,
Shane

Q: I admit that I have not read many investment reports on this company and Constellation Brands has their reasons for their recent purchase . Given that, I suggest that by any metric/measure/ fundamental analysis these shares are way overpriced. For my mind, the only ( in bold) reason to purchase these shares is to join the momentum party. That is never a good reason to buy shares of a company. That is just gambling, not investing and I do not think it has a place in a serious successful investor's portfolio. Even so called pros get burned by these types of buys ( think Nortel, Bre-Ex to name just two of many many such companies).

Q: Would you pay $53 for Canopy Growth or would it be more prudent to allow the industry to get up and running before investing? What are your top 4 cannabis investments and why?
Thank you.

Q: Good Morning 5i

Can you confirm % of WEED owned by Institutions/Funds? How has that changed in the last month? What percent is owned by insiders? What percentage is owned/controlled by Constellation (both owned and warrants)?

Therefore what percentage of total shares are available for retail trade? What effect could that have on future SP growth? I'm trying to understand how so many shares being already committed or tied up lends itself to increased likelihood of SP to increase in 2018.

Thanks for any comments.

Q: I agree with your stated hypothesis that there will be further and probably significant consolidation in the Cannabis Industry.

Weed of course is leading the way and has made a significant move. Can you suggest 2 or 3 other cannabis stocks that you would think have the highest probability of being acquired and why you chose these.

Thank you

Sheldon
