Q: Hey,

I came across ISH.CN, Inner Spirit Holdings. They are a penny stock right now. They seem to want to be the Circle K (formerly Macs) of Pot.

I was thinking of adding to this and holding on for 5-years. Would be interesting to see if they can actually grow and be profitable.

Revenue seems to be growing.

What do you think?

Q: Could you comment on the guidance released by Wesdome today. Does the increase in production warrant current share price? Would you say the info laid out in this guidance supports a longer term increase in share price?

Q: The rest of the software sector has recovered quite nicely with many testing new highs but VEEV seems to not be participating. Any thoughts? I thought that software combined with the medical space would be a big winner but it seems to languish a bit (do realize that it has done well over last year)

Thanks

Q: Hello everyone at 5i! I presently hold IBM, and have done so for several years. Other than a decent dividend, it has not done much. I was wondering, should I continue to hold it, or swap it up for Microsoft or Apple, for a little more growth? From a value perspective, would now be a time to do so? And if so, what would you suggest? Cheers, Tamara

Q: Hello,
We inherited this F type fund after parting with our advisor. The BMO has so far kept it as such in our joint cash account. We own this fund since November 2017 and so far received $1236.30 in dividends and are $2500.00 down from our 30K. investment. I have a very basic idea of their long-short approach and I would like to ask your opinion if their modus operandi might be worth keeping and provide value during possible down markets.
Thank you and have a super day,
Kurt Baertsch

Q: I am trying to determine how material the withholding tax difference is if I hold vgg in my rrsp vs vig.

At first glance, the yield on vgg is 1.229% and on vig is 1.764%, according to the 5i website. However, according to the Vanguard website the vgg "MER" is 0.30% and the vig "Expense Ratio" is 0.06% (quite a difference in fees if indeed this is an apple to apples comparison). So if I compare before expense yields I get that the cdn vgg yields 0.295% less (1.764 + .06 - 1.229 - .30) or , as a proportion the cdn before expense yield is 84% of the us before expense yield (1.529/1.824). So the w/h tax costs me 16% of the yield -- does this analysis seem correct? Thanks. Also, why would there be such a large difference in fees between vgg and vig?

Q: hi, what is your opinion on DISH as an investment in a growth oriented portfolio?
