Q: I am intrigued with Alcanna. However, Scotia has EPS expectations of only 15cents for F2019 leaving it's current forward PE at above 60. It also have negative cash flow which means they are funding the dividend by debt. What are your expectations? Is the valuation pricing in growth from renos and cannabis past F2019. I can't seem to convince myself that holding this through 2019 is worth it especially at this valuation. Please give me your thoughts and provide buy-side analysis. Thanks.

Q: My impression is that 5i has been quite bullish on ECN over time - so the recent price surge triggered additional research, only to find that 2018 and 2019 revenue estimates were well below current levels, -40%, which is a potential significant disconnect with respect to price appreciation for that period. Do you concur and what would be the impact of continuing rate rises.

Q: Re: Your 3 portfolios
-Why not list companies in the growth portfolio in alphabetical order as they are in the balanced & income portfolios?
-Why not show the date of the 1st purchase in the since inception return so there is a better idea of the true rate of return?
I don't consider High Artic, Raging River & Trevali as growth stocks as they are tied too closely to commodity prices.Why not replace them with better growth stocks such as Premium Brands, Savaria ,etc?
Your comments please

Q: A couple years ago, on your suggestion. I purchased some shares of CSU. for my wife's portfolio. At the time they were pretty cheap.. They now represent 23% of her total account. I find it hard to sell any as they keep going up, but if they ever took a nosedive, I would likely have to live in a tent in our back yard.. Would you suggest I sell some or hang on for a while longer? I notice you are suggesting them frequently as a good buy.
