Q: I see these companies are mentioned in today's Globe as being in precarious position! Due to negative EBITDA.
These are some of your favourite sticks, no? I own GUD, BB and FM. Hence my nervousness! Plus I respect Norman Rothery.

Q: Hello Peter,
With the cannabis stocks trading 50% below the legalization date, I would have thought any big companies that wanted to take an equity position in cannabis companies like Canntrust , Aphria, etc would have done it by now. Any thoughts on this? Also, I am starting to wonder if Knight is worth letting go now. This looks like a 30 year timeframe stock the way it is going... Appreciate the comments

Q: My biggest position is in Knight and my two biggest concerns are the possibility that Mr. Goodman's health is deteriorating following his accident which could affect his zeal for a large deal and, second, if his reputation as a bargain-hunter is precluding him from having access to good deals as sellers may only view him as a desperate last resort.
Finally, the trading in this stock seems consumed by day traders generating a flurry of orders following the limited buy/sell from real investors. Is someone propping this stock up to generate action while the shareholder base yawns through the daily action waiting with exasperation for the company to put their $800M to WORK!!
Thank you.

Q: If you have lots of questions in the queue, this can wait, no rush.
You sometimes say GUD is dead money it has been and may still be I agree. However I have 300k of GUD and the last 6 weeks I probably saved 60k since most of my other stocks are down 20 to 25% and GUD has held up. Now suppose I take the dead money approach and invest my 300k in dividend paying stocks say 5%. That would give me 15k by Nov 2019 assuming those stocks keep their value no guarantee there. But if I keep my GUD it needs to go up .41 cents to $ 8.68 as I write this to cover the 15k. Question, what are the odds GUD will trade at 8.68 one year from now ? What are the odds it will trade down .41 cents ? As a fund manager you would respond one way, but would like your view as a personal investor.
And if they do make a large acquisition, I suspect the sp would jump 20% at the open, and this why I keep GUD my biggest position. Question do you agree ?
As you I am disappointed they have not made a large acquisition, I am questioning if they ever will based on their strategy since inception. After all Mr. Goodman did say this was for his grand kids. He has money, is in no rush obviously, perhaps prefers a stress free life at this point of his life. When did you speak with him last time or to management ? They would never reveal they were ignoring a large acquisition anyway. Question do you feel he has the drive for a large acquisition ?
Thanks, for your help.

Q: of all the companies listed, I currently have the same percentage of holding that is in the 5i portfolio. Which of these stocks would you be comfortable buying today and making it a 4-5 % holding as I have some cash and would like to average down. I am a young investor with a long horizon as these stocks are all in my RRSP.
