Investment Q&A

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

Q: The first thing this morning I read a BNN headline: "Shopify reports bigger loss as expenses soar." Well, one thing for sure that's soaring is shopify's stock, up 6% on almost triple volume on early trading.

If anyone can shed some light on this predicament, it would be 5i.

Thanks as always

Rob

Q: Shopify is a great success which you identified early on and I am happy to have it in my portfolio. I know that assessing take-over potential is close to guessing but I am wondering if you think there are large tech companies out there who would like to acquire Shopify? Thank you, Peter

Q: I agree that the offer price is a pretty good deal for Paypal and not so much for the shareholders.

Why don't all 5i readers submit their vote, turning down the offer and see what happens.

I'm going to vote no for my 35,000 shares. Why don't the rest of you do the same.

Lets see what happens. Nothing ventured nothing gained. Perhaps we can get a better offer.

Best

Sheldon

Q: Hi 5i Team,

This is a general question on your balanced model portfolio. After making some significant gains in the oil sector over the past couple years, I'm entirely in cash now and looking to establish a safer portfolio for the longer term (I'm 41). I see that you set March 31st as the start date for the portfolio, does this mean that you will select a new set of stocks at this point based on the best value available, or does the list remain the same. I'm not rushing in to anything at the moment, so would be willing to wait until March 31st if you reevaluate at that point. I'm new to your service and find all the information extremely helpful.

Thanks!
