Investment Q&A

Q: Wanted to thank Peter and the 5i team for persistently reminding readers that the weed sector is high risk and should be avoided by investors. Looks like most of the suspects in the sector are now down 50% from their highs with no support in sight. Anyone subscribing 5i's service has paid for their subscription 100 times over by avoiding these devastating losses while existing weed shareholders are in panic mode. Well done, 5i, you are worth your weight in gold and platinum.

Q: HELP!! My friends and peers talked me into buying CGC shares and now I'm showing losses of -35% in just a week. What should I do???

Q: Hi 5i Group,
Any opinion on the above two stocks? Due to the huge recent run ups have we missed the PARTY...?

Q: Hello Team, I would like to establish a Marijuana Stock Watchlist. Could you list for me all of the marijuana stocks that trade both in Canada and the U.S. No stock comments are necessary by 5iR at this time. Thanks, Chris

Q: Good Morning,

Several of the Marijuana growing IPOS are showing tremendous gains recently with the legalization across CA, and prospectively within Canada. I wanted your take on the future of that industry. Are we looking at a dot com type buy out situation as the BW or PM get into the game with existing infrastructure or so you foresee a fizzles end to hype. Would you join the party, if so where?

Thanks,

Eric

Q: I took a flyer on both CGC & APH yesterday & immediately covered with stops on both to protect any downside. Today I was (on paper) up significantly on both, however the automatic market control system placed 3 separate Stop Trade Orders on CGC throughout the day & 2 separate stops on APH. Unfortunately, I lost on both. Perhaps it might be beneficial to advise members of the Catch 22 that can result.

Q: these marijuana stocks have gone nuts-- a complete bubble. aphria a venture stock traded between 7.79 and 5.40 this morning, now 6.90. i sold all of mine around 7.10.
then traded it a few more times between 5.75 and 6.75.
it is insanity. i am completely out now. comments. dave

Q: Canopy growth is on an all-time high (ha!) after its earnings report. Comments, please?

Q: Nov 14 Canopy Growth Corp

Canopy Growth reported earnings today!!

* Q2 revenue rose 22 percent to c$8.5 million

* Canopy Growth net income for quarter ended September 30, 2016 was $5.4 million compared to net income of $3.9 million in same period last year

Q: Hi 5I
Took your advice and stayed out of the Marijuana business. What a bummer man. It feels like the train left the station and I forgot to get on. (isn't forgetfulness one of the side effects)
Having said that, I get your theory that there is too many unknowns, however, the near sweep of relaxing laws in the US election has me feeling the inevitable will occur in Canada. If you were to bet (I acknowledge its a gamble) on one producer, who would that be?

Q: i have owned aphria from the beginning,i agree with you this rally in maryjane stocks has taken them to ridiculous valuations-- old saying never fight the tape.
my question is are we missing something, why do these stocks keep going higher, is it because 8 states approved legal maryjane in some form, will u.s. maryjane companies buy cdn companies with cheap cdn dollars -- what am i missing.dave

Q: I noticed the short interest is growing in both of these stocks. Could you please comment on who may be shorting these companies and why. Thank you

Q: I have been following and learning about this sector.

Canopy Growth with the announcement of rapper Snoop Dog's involvement was part of the reason for CGC's price rise a few weeks ago. CGC-TSX is listed on the TSX in Canada and on the U.S. as TWMJF-OTC.

Per Health Canada's website there are 36 Marijuana licensed companies in Canada. Not all are licensed to sell as some can only produce, and not all are public companies.

CGC-tsx, TWMJF-OTC, Canopy Growth is the 1st such company in the G7 countries to have a signed agreement to provide the product to Germany for it patients. It has positive revenue.

Alaska very recently approved recreational use for cannabis.

There has been a lot of $$ made recently for those so inclined and astute and informed. I recommend none of the companies, as everyone makes their own choices.

Some public companies:

CGC-tsx
OGI-tsxv
APH-TSXV
CANN and equipment & media surlier
FITX
PHOT
EDXC
EAPH
ENRT
FSPM

Best of luck. Lets make some $$$$.

Q: Please comment on the marijuana sector meltdown. Any idea what turned the green momentum into a bloodbath today? Is the speculative money that the fueled the rally all exiting en masse?

There was news that Lowblaws is applying for a license to dispense marijuana. Considering that the crop is almost as easy to grow as tomatoes, would some of the BC based hothouses look to apply for production licenses?

Q: Hearing much talk about Mar1juana becoming legal shortly in a number of US states as well as here in Canada which could possibly drive up the stock price of some of the small companies now involved, in both countries.
Do you have any suggestions as to what companies are listed on both markets that could benefit greatly.
Many thanks for all your great help. Don't know what I would have done without it last few years.

Q: With a market cap of almost $700mm and little to no sales revenue, investors are stampeding into Canopy and anything weed related.

When recreational marijuana is legalized should we expect bigger participants to enter the industry? I keep thinking that the current names are run by greedy white-collars who have little expertise but do have access to capital. Will these early RTO's get weeded out when big pharma and the gang step into the sector?

People are talking about weed as if it's the rediscovery of the wheel and fire. This is an easily replicated farm crop that requires very little skill, capital outlay and maintenance.

Care to share your thoughts on the zebra-striped elephant galloping through the green house?

Thank you

Q: what are you thoughts on CGC and ACB? do u think they are overvalued?

Q: Watching Pure Technologies dip. the volume is crazy today.....any news etc.

Also see CGC up quite a bit the last couple of days.... why? any news?

Thanks :)

Q: Starting a new portfolio of higher risk stocks to offset my more strategic long term investments. I have listed several juniors that are either in your Growth Portfolio or have been lately receiving considerable attention. Would appreciate your comments, order of preference & recommandations. Please deduct whatever number of credits you feel appropriate. Thank you.

Q: With Marijuana going to be legalized in Canada. And Companies listed on TSX selling it. Is there any potential. Do you like any Companies.
