Q: I like Ryan Modesto's recommendation to invest in tobacco companies as a play on medical marijuana. Any in particular? Spread it out over PM, RAI, MO, LO? Others? Maybe the individual investor can build a small "etf" by adding one or two risky companies? Recent inheritances put $100k U.S. in the bank, and I could reasonably dedicate it to this sector, even though I don't need the income from the tobacco dividends. Thank you.

Q: What are your thoughts on Frontier Communications Corp, FTR on Nasdaq. Is is at a good entry point for a dividend hungry investor?
Q: I would like your thoughts on GNC Holdings (GNC-US).
I have gone through the financials and they look great. Earnings and profit growth are strong, company is buying back shares, margins are increasing this year and I think they are in an industry that should really benefit from an aging population that is becoming more and more aware of personal health. My only concern is their use of long term debt but with rates low, maybe this is a smart managerial move? Thoughts?

Q: Star Gas SGU. It has been a couple of years since someone queried this one. Has this worked its way into your good books? It has a nice 5.7% yield. I am looking for a SGY type of stock on the US market. If you can't recommend this one, is there another that you could suggest.
Thanks again.

Q: hello Peter & 5i team. I read today CSX after the harsh winter will reduce earnings by $0.10/share in Q1 and that execs are cautious on full-year profit and on if the company can reach its goal to achieve a two-year CAGR of 10% to 15%. I very recently bought shares at $27.69 and price as of today is $28.56. My feeling is to sell right now. Your thoughts please and as always, thank you for your time.

In doing some stock chart overlays KMI-N against WMB-N,SE-N,PAA-N,ENB-N,TRP-N,I find the yield & price discrepancy rather compelling. Your comments greatly appreciated. Ken
Q: Hi - my university attending son has been telling me about the legalization of marijuana, particularly in the US, and asks me how to invest in it. I read in the G&M today that even the Tories are softening on the issue. Any thoughts on how to invest in this sector?
