Q: I have heard a lot of buzz about Block Chain technology recently and while it is a speculative technology, it appears to be building traction for use in commercial markets (i.e. B2B and/or B2C usage). What are your thoughts on this (aside from being a high risk investment) and who are some leading companies in this space (either CDN or US) that are focused on developing Block Chain technology/platforms?

Q: Recently there has been talk about this company in news, blogs and investment circles. Does the company have a reliable business model with foreseeable level of profits? Or is it just purely speculative start-up operating in bit coin space hoping some big player will acquire them? Im not knowledgeable about bit coins or mining so request your advise. Thank you.

Q: What do you expect will the the effect of today's announcement:
"HIVE Blockchain Announces Release of Shares from Lockup", which states that "24,636,705 common shares originally due to be released November 15, 2017 will be released on Wednesday, November 8, 2017 to allow for more market liquidity".
In general, I would expect that an increase in supply will cause the price to fall... But perhaps it is not so simple? What would you expect from this? Also, it is only bringing it forward by a week, so investors may have known about it. Mind you, I expect the vast majority here are retail investors, who may not be aware of such details, and are just buying the trend/hype.
I know predictions are almost impossible, esp. in a case like HIVE, but I would like to know your thought process when evaluating this kind of news, what points you consider most important, etc. (risk, of course, is already off the charts.)
Thanks!

Q: Greetings 5i,

I like the changes to the website and the tutorial was very helpful and informative. Thanks!

My questions are regarding WEED and HIVE and when to take profits. I managed to get fairly lucky in the timing of my purchases of both companies and find I'm up 70% on Canopy Growth weighing in at 5.5% and up 35% weighing 0.5% with Hive Blockchain. What are your suggestions here?

Cheers!

Q: I am trying to gage if these stocks will surprise us in a positive way let’s say a 6 months to a year from now. In other words I am trying to think ahead of the curve.

-Considering how well Bitcoin has done will hive-tsx.v follow in its footsteps ?

-Solar. No one talks about it so much anymore.  Is this the calm before the storm.  Is this little known stock uge:tsx.v poised to do shout up?

 -Is ostk.n  the next eBay ?  Amazon ? Shopify?

 -Robotics.  Definitely the way of the future .  Are these 2 eft a good buy ? ( Botz and Robo ) . 

 Or are there other companies that are strongly recommend today that would appreciate in stock value ?

Thanks so much for your input.

Barry from Montreal.

Q: Hi there, I was thinking of the putting a small amount of mad money to work in block chain technology. I believe the 3 mentioned names play in that space. Were there any more that I have missed? I know each is completely speculative at this point - but is there one that stands out as having more potential than the others? Thanks!
