Q: Good Morning 5i Do you have any idea as to why Tilray is rising so fast? I'm holding long on Canopy for this sector and not intending to sell this year. And not intending to buy Tilray. Is Tilray's rise likely to pull upward sp of WEED up faster? Also talk of large short positions in the sector. Any background thoughts on what is happening as we approach Oct. 17th. ?

Q: Hi, I'm a new subscriber and am really benefitting from the Qs and As you post.

I was wondering if you have any insight on Optiva (previously Redknee). I bought it in 2015 and am wondering if I should bite the bullet and sell.

Also, any thoughts on starting a small position in Blackberry as a growth stock in my TFSA?

Thank you.

Q: You have mentioned that you dislike companies that tend to put out too many press releases. I own Reliq Health Technologies and am often surprised at what they consider worth communicating. The other day the press release headline was "Reliq Health Technologies receives second hardware shipment". Today they put out " Reliq Health Technologies Kick Off Patient Onboarding at Rio Grande Valley Health Alliance in Texas". I'm not sure that these qualify as huge milestones that the public and shareholders really need to know and they seem to be self-promotional. Would you consider RHT as a company that does too much self-promoting and does it cause you any concern?

Q: I have never liked the "bought deal" type financings that seem to be the way things are done in Canada, but I have to admit that as a holder of DOO watching the steep sell-off after the recent secondary offering priced in US$ was no fun. TD was offering the shares to clients with the price "TBD within the context of the market". The shares dropped about 15% in the days following the announcement when the issue was priced. Can you briefly explain how the pricing is determined for offerings such as this one. Do they simply wait for the market reaction and then set the price where the shares end up on the pricing date? What are the sellers and buyers obligations? Can the sellers just change their mind if the market reacts too harshly and say "thanks but no thanks, we will keep our holdings rather than sell at a 15% discount?
