Q: Robert asked about Cannabis and Wine....:
Andrew Peller (ADW.A), Canopy Growth Corp (WEED)
Date: Dec 19, 2017 07:38 AM


This may be of interest from the Financial Post (and in other news feeds):

Canadians are already spending almost as much on marijuana as wine
The $6.2 billion in weed Canadians consume a year is about two-thirds the $9.2 billion beer market and close to wine’s $7 billion tally.

Canadians consumed as much as $6.2 billion of marijuana in 2015, almost as much as they spent on wine, the federal statistics agency said Monday as it gears up to officially track weed when it becomes legal next year....."

Q: I have a portfolio modeled after your balanced portfolio with a few additions/ substitutions from the growth portfolio. My wife holds BIP.UN in a taxable account where it may be suitable to take profits this year rather than in the future. Would you sell and replace with either AVO or NFI at the current time? I guess I am asking if you expect more growth from AVO/NFI than BIP going forward. Thanks

Q: Hello Santa

For my TFSA contribution in 2018 would you suggest KXS or SIS? I do hold a 5% position in SIS in my cash account but am not concerned about an overweighting if the better value, safety and prospects for SIS outweighs those of KXS.

Merry Christmas to all your staff and elves. I value your help.

Q: As you likely recall, Owen Moore's Grey Island Systems was bought out by BSM (via WebTech Wireless) a few years ago. Moore stayed around for a while before leaving to found BeWhere, again in the same general field.

What are the chances of BSM repeating history and buying up BeWhere to further its growth?

P.S. - appreciate your service so much!

Q: Just a comment and opinion, share if you like. I work for a smaller competitor to the above tickers, churn is more than concerning in the industry, in fact if you stopped actively selling you'd likely have no book of business left inside of 5 years. The real value is in the sales force and the companies ability to continue to outsell churn and because of this just buying the book at the multiples the industry has paid in the past makes little sense to me.

Q: Good Evening
Can you please comment on the reasons for the 7.5% drop for IPL. during the last two days?
As a general rule, if yields approach the 7-8% range there is usually some concern with companies not being able to sustain their dividend pay outs.
I will appreciate your comments with respect to IPL's prospects going forward.
Thanks
