Q: Engh basically did not participate in recent market rally,but engaged in the downfall. It appears to me that he is somewhat similar to Goodman of GUD( finally acquired a co in Latin America but no positive impact on its price) living on its past success & dare not make an acquistions, maybe fearful of too pricey. Anyways,do U think that Engh will recover without any acquistions? Also.is this a decent entry point? Txs for u usual great services & views

Q: In regards to an earlier answer, which stock(s) do you believe is a better alternative than SIS? Same sector or otherwise? Risk is not an issue.

Thanks for your service.

Q: My TFSA holdings are AC, ( even), EGLX ( up), and WELL ( down) in roughly equal amounts , and wish to add another stock having the same weighting. I am looking at the 3 stocks highlighted. My TFSA obviously leans toward riskier growth / special circumstances stocks. I am looking at the three stocks listed above but would consider any of those listed in your growth portfolio. Would you buy any of these three or what other from your portfolio ? Thanks. Derek

Q: Thank you for the update on TOI's earnings. How do you see this rolling out over the next 3-5yrs. Similar to CSU with upside potential? From Total Addressable Market, is there lots of growth in TOI's future? I find the company to be quite stealth with limited information. Do you seeing this changing in the future, including analyst coverage and institution buying.

Q: Hi,
I sold my NTR back in Dec for some tax loss selling in margin account. I bought MOS as a proxy and its up 20% since then. Should I switch back to NTR now or keep holding MOS? Would have to report a gain on MOS now if I switched back. How does NTR and MOS compare now and what are the growth prospects going forward. Looking at historical performance, they move somewhat in tandem to each other. Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i Team – Having read the latest questions and responses on Lightspeed, I have a few to add and hopefully there isn’t much of an overlap here.

1) On BNN the new CEO talked about the launching of new products. Could you explain what these products are.
2) He also said that Lightspeed is replacing the old Legacy system for its clients with a more up-to-date system. Could you explain what that means.
3) Are there headwinds with more in-store shopping expected as pandemic restrictions are being lifted and at least some of the population wants to return to the personal shopping experience as opposed to the online experience.
4) What will it take for Lightspeed to become profitable and do you have an idea how long that will take.
5) I know Lightspeed has just under 1 billion dollars in cash but does it have any significant debt.
6) Could you describe any similarities to Shopify and also elaborate on the differences.

There are many questions here and even though they relate to just the one company, please feel free to deduct credits as needed.

Thank you.

Rob
