Q: So, with the blockbuster results and a strong guidance this morning, SHOP stock is flirting with the $222 high recorded on Nov 19, 2021, during the day's trading.
Amazing !!!

What would you do with the stock, if you own a decent position ( 6-7% : similar to 5i portfolios, after today's 20% jump) from a Technical, Fundamental and Portfolio management perspective ?

Thank You

Q: Crypto is up and the market is strong yet this one has performed poorly since they executed that big bitcoin sale. Am I being impatient or is there a reason to sell and move onto something that is performing better right now? I realize that the stock is up huge on the year - unfortunately I bought after the gain and am now a bag holder (down 13%). Thanks,

Jason

Q: TMX Group has been consistently producing great results, for several quarters, coupled with dividend increases. But, its share price does not seem to be able to rise past $57-$58 level, even with most analysts revising their estimates and price targets, higher.

Is this price action consistent with its historical pattern, or we are missing something ?

Do you continue to like to own the stock for Income and Growth, over next several years ?

Thank You

Q: P&C insurance sector has shown signs of weakness, over past several weeks, perhaps due to higher catastrophic losses and pressure on auto premiums. Intact Financial stock has also not been immune and has seen its stock decline over 10% from its recent high of $317. Latest earnings release disclosed weakness in commercial lines, in addition to premiums rates in US.

IFC has been a long time favorite of 5i and stock has performed well, barring the recent softness.

Question is that after 2-3 years of strong performance by P&C sector, do you believe the present weakness to be simply transitionary or it is indicative of a reversal/change of direction in the industry fortunes. And if it is even partly true or possible, how is IFC positioned to protect its business model and revenue/profitability for shareholders ?

The follow up question is that considering these factors, does IFC continue to still present itself as compelling opportunity for a long term investor, as a core position in the portfolio, ignoring everything else as noise ?

Thank You
