Q: Set to begin trading in New York on Feb 25th as of recent news. Had a nice bump yesterday. Can you give your thoughts on the following?
1. How does this stack up to bigger name producers in terms of value and potential? It is certainly less publicized
2. Looking back at other pot stocks that began trading in the US (2 i think?) what type of jump, if any, does the beginning of US trading have on prices?

Thanks!

Q: Your recent comments on DOO:
We think DOO is still good. Solid earnings growth is still expected, and at only 12X earnings investors are not expecting much. As rates rose investors shied away from the stock, but as rates peak (as long as jobs remain strong) we would expect confidence to return here. It has beaten estimates 8 quarters in a row and the last quarter's EPS beat by 6%.

My question:
Your comments don't suggest that the company has done anything wrong (quite the opposite really) and yet the stock has gone down by 50%. Unlike KXS, NFI, SIS, TSGI and others that had announcements that drove significant temporary declines, I can't see anything like that here. Is this stock therefore not being punished unfairly and ripe for rebound? To what do you attribute the wholesale abandonment of the stock? It would not seem that such strong selling pressure is warranted. What is the case against buying vs FOR buying?

Q: Good Evening

My wife a while back made a small spec play on BVO. It was converted to ZENA and she was also issued the same number of shares in CUBICFARM SYS COM 4 MONTH. They are currently not trading and are valued at zero. What are they and will they start trading? Also since its such a small position should she just hang on to ZENA or take her profits and move on?

Q: Two part question, deduct as necessary. Canadian Portfolio slightly tilted towards growth and not needing funds for long time. Looking to add one Industrial name to compliment WSP and PEO (if considered an industrial). Was thinking maybe NFI but would be interested in any other suggestions.

Also looking to add a tech name to compliment KXS, and OTEX. Having a hard time finding something different that could be a core holding for long term, only criteria would be that i am not interested in PHO.

Q: Thankyou very much for recommendation of CSU. Your unwavering conviction in this stock enabled me to keep it and add to it on declines, which can be difficult to do for a conservative ETF investor. Do you have another favorite Canadian stock , or stocks, with nearly identical qualities, that you would suggest ? Sector is not a concern. If more than one, please list in order of preference. P.S. my wife says thankyou. I sold some shares to buy her a very special Valentine gift.
