- Do you have any competition?
- I often think of ETF as less risky given it’s distributed over a portfolio of companies. Am I wrong?
- How have the markets performed since you started this venture? Has there been a lot of volatility?
- How do you we the market in the next 5 years?
- Why did you enter the cannabis industry?
