Q: Hi all, With today's (16 Aug) climb, I am almost breaking even with this one after more than a year. I am trying to position my portfolio with dividend stocks that have some growth opportunity (like many I have observed here). Should I take the opportunity and get out and look for a dividend stock with more growth in this space? Or is this possibly the beginning of an uptrend in DR.

Thank You, Stephen S

Q: Nice folks I hold 5% gold exposure split between GLD and FNV. Do you have an opinion on gold for the next quarter and/or year. There is some rumour that some central banks may be selling gold aggressively and some opinion that gold could be heading downward. Your thoughts on that as well would be great to read. Lastly would you suggest simply sitting tight with the current weighting and holdings I have as an appropriate "forever" holding. Thanks so much.

Q: I have zero allocation to minerals, mining and material stocks in my portfolio. Do you feel that some exposure is warranted for diversification purposes?

If so, what one or two companies would you suggest to achieve broad exposure while minimizing downside risk. I prefer larger companies that pay a dividend.

Q: Knight just bought about 4M shares of TherapeuticsMD @ $5.10. Oppenheimer just raised their target (I know!) to $14 and another to $15 which would provide Knight with a $36-$40M profit.
Would you buy TXMD and do you think Knight will get Canadian/Israeli rights to their recently-approved 12 month birth control product?

Q: Can you please comment on earnings and subsequent investor reaction (reduction in share price)?
Can you also please comment on recent rumours of Amazon looking to acquire a cinema / theater company? It seems that this should be a potential catalyst for the stock as this is a logical move for other streaming services (Netflix, Apple, etc.) who are investing significant amounts on original content but currently have limited options to distribute to large screen formats (cinema, etc.).

Q: Hello I was wondering what you thought of HLF earnings.? The stock is down so much this year but it has been here before and came back. Do you see this being an entry point for a long term buy for another ride up? Do you think it will need to cut it's dividend 8% + currently? Thanks again for the great service.

Q: Good Morning 5i
Can you comment on Constellation investment of 5 Billion CAN$ into Canopy Growth? How you see this playing out in lead up to Oct. 17th. legalization? How do you see this playing out to late 2019 when I would consider selling? Constellation is a Major US backer who obviously believes in the future market - Canadian, US & International - both medical & recreational. You have supported WEED as a speculative best pick. Is it now rising on that scale and if not, why ? Please direct question to 5i person most knowledgeable on this space. Thanks.
