Q: Hi Folks,
Do you think this is a good time to start a position in US financials? If so, can you give me 2 or 3 names that you like. Or is there an ETF that you prefer?

Q: Hello 5I.

I have held this stock for the past year. With the latest earnings I am just slightly up. On Friday the stock was continuing its run up to 21.10. And then The news came out that the US did not agree to repealing all tariffs with China. With that the stock reversed and finished down for the day. My question is, is this Company’s prospects highly correlated to the trade dispute between China and the US?

Q: I read the most recent press release from DIRRT Environmental on their 3rd quarter release. The CEO Kevin O'Meara made some pretty pointed comments about the company's failure to execute. I have never heard a CEO publically give such a frank and honest assessment of the company's missteps. Is Mr O'Meara a one off or is his rant a normal response from an unhappy CEO

Q: I bought a small position (1.5%) in LSPD two months ago thinking of adding to 3% later on, but with all the news and disenchantment lately regarding the new high growth companies and the failed IPOs, do you see a higher risk on LSPD? I have a long time frame, and was wondering if I am just concerned by short term noise. I do understand LSPD comes with higher risk than most stocks, but wanted to know your thoughts.

Q: Peter; Not really a question but some info on FTS. There is an article in the NYT weekend edition entitled The New Chapter in an Energy Fight which details the fight between power companies trying to build gas powers plants vs renewable ones- Tucson Electric - a sub of FTS now - are building a solar and storage plant for a very low rate vs gas . They are way ahead of the curve .

Q: I've been active in DIY investing for 7 years. Have chosen only CDN listed stocks and, with 5i's help, have been reasonably satisfied with returns over that period. However, despite my stubborn resistance to the US, I cannot continue to ignore that market. So I have 5 forced-choice questions for you. I will invest in 5 of the 11 listed. I'd like your opinion about which one in each group to invest. These are LT holds (5+ years). I'm not expecting a detailed rationale, but would appreciate knowing if your preferences are strong. Or not. Thanks!

Q: Many on your tax-loss list show estimated revenue growth > 100%; in more than a few cases, > 200%. In the case of marijuana stocks, this is puzzling, as many argue that prices will continue to weaken.
On what basis, then, should we place confidence in these numbers? Take HEXO, which you observed (last August) was priced at 4X forward sales, has since then declined by 45%, but is estimating revenue growth at 280%: what would it take to find its prospects 'interesting'?
