Q: Hi Peter and team:
Two of the companies in my small cap portfolio, Acuity
Ads and TSO3, have performed badly for me in the last year. I am down 50% on AT and down 40% on TSO. I am willing to be patient but wondering if this is a recovery that could take many months, if not years, which is too long for me. Do I hang on, or are there other small cap stocks with promising technologies that may be preferable with a shorter timeline to success? By the way, I own PHO after reading your reviews, which has worked out well for me, thanks.

Q: What are your thoughts on the above three companies? Seems like everyone (even novice investors) are jumping on the band wagon bragging how much they made to date which has made me a bit uneasy. I have no exposure in the sector. Take out 3 credits if required.

Q: Morning 5i team... apologize in advance for the length of my question!

Am I wrong in thinking we should all looking for who will be the future big winners in the Marijuana sector? Personally, I think this is going to be a significant global industry moving forward with lots of cash flow yet, on September 20 you said “We are really not endorsing any in the sector…” when asked what company should be looked at.

My question(s) is two-fold;

First, do you mind me asking which you aren’t endorsing any companies in this sector? Is it because you don’t see any quality companies at hand? Or is it more of a sector avoidance thing? And on that thought, do you have an opinion on how this sector could play out over the next 5 years?

Second, QCC recently announced a non-brokered private placement of units of the Company at a price of twenty cents per unit for aggregate proceeds of up to $1 million. I have visited QCC personally and met with Management. Their operation appears to be running well, they are very busy, are a proud group and are very optimistic re their new BOSS C02 extractor (oil production) which according to them is cutting edge technology. I have seen these units first hand and up close and they do look slick. They produce an incredibly pure product which is difficult and costly to do, and I think Cannabis Oil has to be the future as no one will be comfortable getting behind anything that is carcinogenic.

It appears the stock has seen a nice gain in the past few days. Do you think it’s because of the placement news? (I know it’s small) Or is there another reason at hand for the gain? Can you provide any additional insight on the future of this company, (I know they are small) and if the Private Placement is a good thing, bad thing, or irrelevant because of the size? And do you think there is a market for growers buying their "portable" extractor?

I’d love to get into a small company that takes advantage of the Billions sure to be spent on cannabis products over the next 10 years plus!

Thanks for all you do

Q: I have a basket of small miners including VIT, GGD, MYA, MTU, in my trading account. Together they make up about 1/4 of my precious metals position which is about 6% now in the trading account. Can I get your opinion on these specific companies? Would you prefer others? I am bullish on gold and silver for the short and mid-term, how about you guys at 5i?
