Q: My mother has recently been invited by a friend she trusts to buy into a local privately traded Marijuana Grow Op Company, which comes with a 30-40% tax credit through CEDF. I have concerns about whether she'd be able to sell whenever she likes, not to mention the (apparently) high-ish risk. But I wanted to check with you: Are there any circumstances under which such a move would be advisable? And if not, would you advise buying into a publicly traded marijuana company at this moment, and if so which one? WEED? I might add that it is also quite hilarious, from the perspective of my former teenage self, to find myself in a position of advising my mother on investing in WEED.

Q: I normally can find answers to my questions by reviewing past questions but when I ask for questions on DS I get nothing. Not even the notice that there are no questions.
Anyway, I am retired and interested mainly in yearly income. I own DS and happily collect the dividend. But, can you explain how they can pay a 10% return when they hold stocks yielding less than 5%. Is the remainder return on capital or are they selling covered calls?
Thanks
Don

Q: Great show on BNN. As always Peter was to the point,sharp and candid. (CPG for example).
I was surprised that GUD didn't make it to the top picks . Any reason why? It figured prominently in the year end tax loss selling based buys. Always gets a good recommendation in Q&A. Yet didn't make it to the top 3.

Q: By letting my winners run to overweight positions, while recognizing the importance of overall sector allocations, I am in a constant debate with myself feeling the need to rebalance. My question is regarding 3 sectors with the backdrop of assuming we are in a rising interest rate environment. Currently having a 10% Utility weight, with 0% Real Estate and Telco's, would you suggest trimming Utilities to acquire one or both sectors, if so what names would you suggest? If rates rise faster than expected, will all 3 sectors perform similar ? I watch my portfolio very close, am quite comfortable with higher risk for higher return.
Q: I am looking at adding a US reit, i see that this is off by 20% it's high, but still going down, nice dividend too. Upon checking latest qtr. report , they only had around $61,000 damage in the Texas hurricane. Also good insider buying at higher prices. What does the market not like here?
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
