Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have heard a lot of buzz about Block Chain technology recently and while it is a speculative technology, it appears to be building traction for use in commercial markets (i.e. B2B and/or B2C usage). What are your thoughts on this (aside from being a high risk investment) and who are some leading companies in this space (either CDN or US) that are focused on developing Block Chain technology/platforms?

Q: Thank you for your kind answer to my earlier question suggesting PTE,AVO and GSY.
Any sub 5 dollar stocks, other than ECN/GUD? I bought ECN, again reading your Q&A section! GUD is above 5 bucks but bought it anyway as it was your top tax loss selling candidate.
Thanks in advance.

Q: Hey Peter & Team,

Seems I'm all about Cannabis these days. QCC today reported the first sale of their BOSS Co2 Extraction System into the US market and the price immediately jumped and is now up over 55% on the day with a volume of 4.8M. (ave 384K)

Had another frank conversation with an executive in the company and he informed me they have a number of sales in the pike after a very good showing at the MJBiz Conference in Las Vegas a month ago.

Things I have noticed... Moral around their offices is great. They genuinely believe in what they are doing and expect to do very well in the coming years plus, are looking to expand sales world wide. Their offices aren't fancy, don't even have a name or sign outside the building and the inside is neat, tidy and busy with no frills attached. Their markup on these units is 100% and they are expecting to sell a dozen if not more of of these proprietary systems per quarter next year. Makes sense considering they announced their first sale Dec 20, their 2nd the next day and now their 3rd system today.

I know I am in danger of sounding like a promoter but... I am now up almost 300% in less than 4 months and am starting to wonder what I should do. Buy Sell Hold... The original investment represented 0.5% of my portfolio.

If the announcement of three systems does this to the stock, what will happen when they start announcing additional sales at the same pace in the coming year?

Really look forward to hearing your advice.

Thanks for all you do

Q: Phonton Control and Titan Logix, looks to be in the same type of business. Titan appears to be having management issues, and Phonton appears to be more stable in regards to earnings. Do you favour Phonton over Titan Logix? And is this sector looking to get better in the future?

Q: Before the split, an old PHM share was worth ~31 cents and post split (1 new PHM @ 21 cents and 1/10 VMD @ 30 cents - 1 share currently $3.00) that share is now worth ~51 cents. Is my math correct in that the shares basically increased by 20 cents or 64.5% post split? if yes, can you explain why such a big increase. Thanks
