Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi, I was wondering if I could get your thoughts on NINE. They are opening retail stores in Winnipeg on Oct 17 (they are one of the first companies authorized to do so in Manitoba), and there is a lot of buzz over this company here. But I know this industry is very overpriced, so I am hesitant to invest quite yet.

Thank you
Mike

Q: Hi .... Further to your answer to Guy's question and as someone who is hurting big time with rht .... does your answer mean that there are no catalysts anticipated in the next year to lift this stock - other than an unanticipated piece of good news? No excellent fundamentals?

As 'they" say, hope is not a strategy.... so my impression is that if you were putting new money to work RHT would be way down your list of candidates?

Thanks for your help here. I hate to walk away from an investment but this looks like it is overdue to be dumped.

Q: I purchased shares of Aurora Cannabis in April of this year in my TFSA. Recently I received shares of Australis Capital Inc. I was told that the new company is a subsidery of ACB. Can you provide any insights as to why this happened and should I sell the new shares or hold on to them?

Q: the above Company is another (one of many) that have hit the market that are engaged in the marijuana industry. I think it was originally offered at 13 cents and is now trading at 90 cents. I know you are not fans of the marijuana stocks but do you have an opinion of the future prospects for this company.

Q: The above listed companies have (I think) been recommended by you over the last year as small caps with growth potential. All are down in the dumps at the moment and I am wondering which, if any, would you now recommend for growth over the short term (one year)

Q: I have just received shares and warrants for Australis Capital associated with a purchase of the latter firm by Aurora Cannabis. Australis Capital identifies and invests in the cannabis industry predominately in the United States, a highly regulated, fragmented, fast growing and evolving industry. Investments may include and are not limited to equity, debt or other securities of both public and private companies, financings in exchange for royalties or other distribution streams, and control stake acquisitions.

Can you offer an opinion on the security?

Thank you!

Q: Greetings 5i,

I hold ACB. What is the fair value for the Australis shares and warrants I have just received? At one point today they were trading @ 15.00 and now at $3.00. Seems an opportunity lost to liquidate these at a high valuation? What would you advise at this point holding both the warrants and new shares of Australis. Pp

Cheese!

Q: Hi guys,
I hold one ETF and a mix of equities (selected from your portfolios) in my TFSA, with the following weightings:
COV 5.48
CSU 6.70
GSY 5.42
KXS 4.93
PBH 4.26
PHO 4.50
SHOP 7.57
SIS 6.59
TOY 6.05
TSGI 5.63
VUN 30.35
WEED 12.51
Everything is up from initial purchase (many thanks) but some have grown much faster than others. I am considering rebalancing and/or adding a new position. Is there a notable position that you would add/remove (e.g, VUN in exchange for equities)? I have VXC and VCN in my RRSP so maybe VUN is better located in there.
Thanks for the amazing service and knowledge base that 5i provides.
Mark
