Q: I read that Health Canada has just permitted some doctors to start using psilocybin (from magic mushrooms) to develop certain treatments.

What you you think about the 'shroom' sector and what is your favourite company (or companies) in the space?

I think full on medical adoption is just a matter of time, possibly recreational legalization eventually.

Q: Hi, I’ve read your comments about BEP and BEPC. I understand a bit of correction and consolidation but a 30% drop in one day seems excessive. Surely something else must be affecting this and if not how can one possibly invest in a stock that can drop 30% in one day without a reason? I get risk but that seems absurd to me, especially for a Brookfield security.

Q: Hi 5i,
Questor is confusing to me and I hope you can help me to understand it better than I do now.
In September, 2018 it was at approximately the level it's at now - around $2.20. But then, starting in September, 2018 it increased fairly steadily and had more than doubled to over $5.00 by mid February this year, before plunging straight down to $1.30 or so in the COVID sell off. The chart looks like if COVID hadn't come along it might have continued the upward trajectory. However that didn't happen and, unlike many others that declined hard and fast in February/March of this year, Questor's recovery has been halting - its only gotten back to about where it was in September, 2018 and not close to its pre-COVID level.
Bringing me to my confusion: Something positive appears to have been motivating buyers for the 18 months preceding the precipitous COVID decline and I wonder both what those positive factors were, and why (whatever they were) they haven't taken hold again? I wouldn't have thought that Questor's business would be COVID sensitive going forward from the February drop, but perhaps it is in some way?
The CEO was quoted in today's FP as saying that the just announced carbon tax increases will be good for "our industries", which implies they'll be good for Questor. Could it be?
Hoping you can provide some insight.
Thanks!
Peter
