Q: Hi 5i Team -In a question recently asked you mentioned that Shopify is still not cheap. At what price could it be considered a decent valuation. Also in your answer to a previous question you mentioned Shopify has $6.7 Billion in cash. How much per share does this work out to be and is it a significant amount in this context. Do you see them deploying some of this cash to make an acquisition or even to buy back shares. As a summary, are the fundamentals much the same as they were a few months ago when Shopify's share price was much higher. Thank you.

Q: I am looking closely at purchasing this stock. I usually buy my allocated amount ( 2.5 % ) in one lump sum but think your suggestion of partial purchases makes sense in this volatile and generally declining market. Should I wait until their annual meeting of May 12 as there could be some surprises or a pessimistic view from management ? Thanks Derek

Q: I currently have a lump sum to invest at this time. I already have all the stocks in your Balanced Equity Portfolio and would like to slowly invest the lump sum (i.e. 10% per month). This is for a long term hold (> 5yrs). Which three stocks of the BE portfolio would you add to at this time and a brief reason why?

Q: Hi. Aritzia is down more than their share today. In their last quarter report they forecast a decent lookout.
Would mgmt have to issue a missed earnings forecast? I seem to think i’ve seen some companies do this.
Is this a buying opportunity if one doesn’t have a full position?
Thanks a million

Q: Hello 5I,
I recently bought $GSY on your recommendation as I thought it was a good fit for my portfolio. I then came across some comments it was a predatory lender.. I wondered is this accurate or just a disgruntled ex-employee or customer? I know they deal with less qualified borrowers and get paid more for that risk but is it not a necessary service that is policed by the government?
Thanks
