Q: What are your thoughts on National Beverage? Long term hold.

Any guesses as to what would happen to the stock if the current CEO Nick A. Caporella stepped down? I find his press releases bizarre yet inspiring and their products very refreshing.

Q: Good morning,
Looking at utilities with high yield I came across a report that forecasts growth of 44% for 2018 and 95% for 2019. Are these numbers good ?
How are they going to fund the acquisition and is it going to be a problem ?
Debt is high so is payout ratio for 2018. Probability that the deal closes soon seems high.
What is your take on it ?
Thanks and enjoy the long weekend !

Q: Tracking the performance of CLIQ throughout a trading day, I'm, puzzled by the behaviour of the RSI index. The pattern is repeating itself today... but if you look at the past 5 day tracing, it's easy to see that RSI has been shuttling up and down from lows well-below 30 to well-above 70, numerous times in a trading day. What's going on? Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i,
I have not done well in my TFSA (Other accounts doing well enough.)
I'm looking for stock(s) with good growth potential but low downside risk. I am comfort to not make great gains but don't want to keep losing in this account.
GUD seems the logical choice. Would you agree and are there other names that you would consider here even if growth potential is lower? Thank you for the great service.

Q: I have a small position in HEMP and have already taken my initial invested capital back when it doubled. With the change in CEO there has been a lot of positive news from the company and it looks like they have a good plan for growth going forward. They have a new processing facility opening soon and was wondering about adding to my position. Do you think this is a little safer than going into the MED/REC Cannabis?
Thanks

Q: Hi,
My question is: With the swamp that seems to be filling and not draining in the US, and the reported near-deal between BPY.UN/BAM.A (one of their biggest investors is the Qatar Investment Authority) and the Kushners in New York for 666 Fifth Ave., do you see any heightened risks owning BAM.A/BPY.UN? If so, what, if any action should an investor be considering?
Many thanks, Michael

Q: Hello - ACO.x seems like your least favorite utility and you stated that 'Decent earnings growth is expected, but 2018E earnings will still be less than 2012 levels.'
Why are earnings dropping for ACO? What has changed? It was a real favorite in the market for several years.
Thanks for your insights.
