Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: In your answer to Kevin's question regarding assets Aug. 4 you state that Dollarama "Does not have many hard, physical assets." and go on to say that it leases stores. Your website 'Company Profile' would appear to disagree. "All the stores are owned and operated by the company." Would the profile be out-of-date? I am interested in the company too. Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Team - I have held Shopify in two accounts for several years now and although I have sold much of it over the past couple of years at a substantial profit (thanks to your advice) there is still some left which it seems becomes more significant each passing month. I find myself, however, unable to describe it's business with any degree of confidence to other people. Could you provide me with a simple description of exactly what it does in plain terns that I could relate to others.
Who are Shopify's customers and clients - do these terms mean the same thing - and how many are there. Do they have other relationships with large corporations beside Amazon and what exactly is that relationship with Amazon. I feel I should have an understanding of all of this but it very limited.
Thank you.

Q: I've been considering Dollarama for a small position. You seem generally positive about it.

I found it to be the only company among the ones I researched with a negative shareholder equity. Investopedia tells me this is a warning sign, indicating the companies liabilities exceeds its debt.

Can you explain Dollarama's situation and advise as to whether this is a company to avoid?

Thanks as always.

Q: I am a long term CSU shareholder. I have full confidence in management but less confidence in their growth prospects at this stage. The types of slow or no growth software businesses that they acquire are in secular decline and CSU has no organic growth.

Is 5i’s confidence in CSU’s business prospects misplaced at this point??? Should we stay put to see if the “inevitable” decline materializes or try to anticipate this and step out of the way?

Thanks for your awesome guidance.
