Q: Hello Peter and Team,
Wondering if you think this may be a good entry point for an investment in Greenbrook TMS. The company claims that its electromagnetic treatment for clinical depression is 68% effective with no significant side effects. This would make it more effective than any single depression drug on the market. With depression being so prevalent and insurance companies looking to save LTD payouts, it seems likely that the popularity of this treatment modality could quickly become widespread. Although it may be an effective treatment, what do you think of the company’s business model?
Thank you.

Q: On several occasions when responding to questions about WELL you mention risk - an excellent point as it is a relatively small company. 

But in comparison to many other smaller companies there are important aspects that in my mind mitigate the risk somewhat. For example:

- the quality and reputation of management and its obvious ability to attract investors

- founded first and foremost on the ownership of health clinics (relatively stable recurring revenue, insulated somewhat from recessions)

- disciplined/focused in its choice of foundational corporate software platform (i.e. OSCAR).  OSCAR is open source and free of royalties - think of RedHat's success.  OSCAR is its singular software focus - think Westjet and the cost savings by limiting maintenance to only one type of  aircraft. And then the cost/effort when it comes to adding new functionality (e.g. telemedicine) to your product like all software products must do. 

None of this guarantees unqualified success in the marketplace of course but what additional risks should an investor in WELL consider?   Thank you.

If you could give me two suggestions either from my list or if you have a choice of your own that may have better potential.

Q: Hey,

I came across ISH.CN, Inner Spirit Holdings. They are a penny stock right now. They seem to want to be the Circle K (formerly Macs) of Pot.

I was thinking of adding to this and holding on for 5-years. Would be interesting to see if they can actually grow and be profitable.

Revenue seems to be growing.

What do you think?
