Q: Hello, If you had to select one company between MO and PM which one would it be today? This is for long term hold. My focus is growth and income. By the way, why is there so much price difference movement between the two stocks througout the last year? Regards, Gervais

Q: Hi. I'm curious about your thoughts on big tobacco becoming big pharma as far as medical cannabis goes. I am surprised that they haven't yet entered this space. Do you think this will eventually happen? With the big drop on tobacco stocks today I'm wondering if I should start a position.

Q: The above group of companies, so called bond proxies medical supply and consumer staples do not seem to be participating in the Trump boost post election. Many have sold off sharply. Do you view this as a buying opportunity?

Q: Which company would be your top pick in the medical devices space in Canada? Prism seems to cover all the bases for seniors wishing to remain in their homes throughout retirement and retrofitting their homes accordingly, but it is small (listed on the Venture Exchange). However, it does pay a nice dividend. Any thoughts?

Q: Any thoughts on PM's quarterly numbers? There seems to be an enormous chasm between the expected earnings per share and what Prism actually delivered. Taking into account the one time items, the gap closes a little but still I'd like your expert opinion on the numbers.

Revenues were up nicely but earnings fell significantly. Do you see anything in the numbers that raises a red flag or cause for concern?

2016 earnings per share estimates were 75 cents, prior to today's q3 numbers. Any guesses what the new estimates will be for 2016?

Thanks for your time.

John

Q: I wonder if the sum of your report card categories for PM reflect your overall opinion of the company. Your report has 12 categories and PM received 83% of A, 33 % of B and 17% C. Yet, It's overall rating is C+. Does this suggest that some categories should be weighted or do you need more categories or maybe C+ is too severe? ...Sleepless in Niagara
