Investment Q&A

Q: Hello,
I was watching an interview on BNN with Mr. Wonderful where he disclosed this little company which is using psychedelics for treatment of depression, PTSD, ADHD in adults, drug addiction therapies and a host of other potential avenues. After doing some light digging it also turns out Linton is on the board of this company. They trade on the NEO exchange which I have never heard of, can you give me your opinion of this exchange and this very small company. I realize this is early days. This would be a flier long hold 5 years.

Q: Any thoughts on the mushroom space and this company?

Q: Some comments on Genesis please. They've suffered from a hate for anything related to oil, a well deserved market downturn, and coronavirus. On the other hand they have a substantial distribution, part of which is withheld by the IRA. Is this a sleeping dog best left alone?

Q: I am interested in purchasing some stocks for my non registered US account with the primary purpose is to provide income. What would be your top 3 Canadian companies that pay their dividends in US funds and what 3 US companies would you recommend?

Q: Hi folks, Raymond James thinks Cannabis sector will bottom in Q1/20 (now), stabalize in Q2 & Q3 (with bankruptcies/mergers/buyouts etc) and the winners after the carnage/dust settles...should prosper going forward. Do you agree with their thesis (I do), and trying to position myself in a few companies that have cash/good operations/chance of profits etc...and 2 I picked were Village Farms & Aphria. Can I please get your throughts on Pot sector and these two companies. Many thanks, jb

Q: Your thoughts on ECO and recent financial results.
Thanks
John

Q: The Rubicon Proj. has a class action lawsuit against it by the shareholders of Telaria.
Is this going to drag the SP down, are these suits slow to resolve. Thoughts please

Q: I have a question, are there any socially responsible companies paying a dividend listed on the TSX that are good candidates to own in a portfolio?

Q: I sold both of these to raise cash before the correction. both down over 10%. Is it too soon to buy back in?? thanks Jim

Q: I bought this stock in January at around $40 and now stock sold off big to under $20 so down 50 per cent. Wondering what to do with this position. Do you think over a longer time period it will recover somewhat or cut losses here

Q: What is driving the major drop today? Any news on the acquisition by Cineworld?

Q: Nazim asked a question today that has been on my mind, "why hold stocks?" To follow up on your answer in which you opined that much of the downside may already have factored into prices, how can that be? The market is only down to levels it was at in the fall/summer. I am a long term investor but I moved to cash last week because of the risks. In weighing the potential downside risks (which could be huge) vs short term upside, why stay in the market? I just don't see how the effects of this virus will not be a lot worse than what has already been accounted for in the market. People are not going out, travelling, etc. and this must have a huge effect on the market going forward. Is this not a recipe for a recession? In which case, why not get out of the kitchen?

Q: Can you recommend websites (free and subscribed) for ETFs in which each ETF is presented in a table format by yields, returns, and their respective beta, etc.?

Thanks.

Q: You have mentioned the banks deposit base and cost of funding in answer to a few questions. I am wondering what it is the banks fund with deposits?

Q: Bought at $10.75 a few months ago. About $7.50 today. Should I just sell and take the loss in my TFSA? Thanks for your reply.

Q: Hi folks,
In view of the coronavirus concerns, which are the companies you would recommend now as likely to grow strongly in the search for a vaccine or in the production of the equipment needed for fighting the spread of this virus ? Could you as well indicate the degree of risk involved in such companies and an order of priorities for the most interesting now ? As a start, what about GILD, INO, MRNA, REGN, SNY ?

Please deduct as many credits as you see fit.

And make sure you stay healthy…...we need you more than ever !

Q: Further to my question yesterday, Clearwater announced today that it has received expressions of interest to buy the company. There is big insider ownership and the largest shareholders may want to take the company private.

Q: Do you think that dividend is safe here? If they cut it in half, would this still be worth holding for a few years in registered acct?
Thanks.

Q: Governor B.O.C said things will/can become much worst due to virus if I understand correct market will not do better in immediate future if so why hold stocks?

Q: Preferreds in general have been getting kicked for quite some time.
With current bond yields at around 1% and hpr, zpr, cpd at 5%......I don't get it
Thank you
