Q: Hello 5i,
Now that the cannabis sector has tanked how do you feel about the valuations and growth prospects? Is WEED a favorite still?
Thank you for your insight

Q: Happy New Year and welcome to a new decade :)
I plan to take this year's TFSA contribution and divide it equally between ARE, REAL & XBC. The goal is growth. Any dire warnings before I proceed? Thank you.

Q: I note that while you and others have highlighted pressures on NFI (pre mid Dec) the news flow of orders appears to have improved of late and there has been a concurrent effort by NFI to maintain a professional approach to their business prospects. I guess the question is does the hesitancy with respect to their prospects, and particularly their share price, still apply and are the new orders significant or already factored in. Thanks.

Q: I need to invest the new $6000 TFSA contribution for my 24-year old son. He won't need to touch the money for a long time. What would be your suggestion for this investment , given that his other holdings are already mainly growth oriented (SHOP, CSU, SIS, PHO, XIC and ZLB)?

Q: I am in my early 30’s. In terms of creating a strategy for buying and selling stocks shouldn’t I just always be buying stocks, even if the market goes down?

If I have a 30-year run way until I start withdrawing or using the funds wouldn’t it be best to just find great companies to average into?

Your thoughts are greatly appreciated in advance.

Thanks,

Dave

Q: Hi Peter and all 5i, Happy new year to all of you, and thanks for providing this wonderful service. I'm starting my RRIF withdrawals this year, and wanted to ask if you think my assumption for return on my portfolio is reasonable. The calculators that are online, require a percentage return, for each year. Presently, my RRIF is producing 4% in dividends, so I entered 6% in the return of the total portfolio. Portfolio is similar to your "Balanced". Do you think I'm being too conservative? Thanks

Q: I am looking over VCI for yield. I see the last payment was a paltry .03! Compare this to a .13 payout earlier it seems a rather large fluctuation.
Is this strictly a quarter to quarter variation in the business or did they overpay early and cut back subsequently? I was hoping to see more stability in payout considering the lack of growth in the name. Could you give some colour on all this?

TIA
