Q: Further to my earlier question about CGI's latest results. PRNewswire and RBC Direct Investing show revenue of $2.96 billion which matched estimates of $2.94-2.97. The only 'down' value was the slight drop in 'cash for operating activities' whatever that is. I still don't understand the drop in its share price.

Q: This is about the volatility of stocks such as Shopify. I understand why it is volatile being new, growing fast and very high valuation. My question is, assuming it continues to grow what might one look for as indicators that the volatility is going to settle down.
Thanks as always,
Peter

Q: Hi team,

What is your take on their recent acquisition of Visual Compliance / eCustoms Business? Is it very accretive or just in line with their prior acquisitions? I recall their purchase of Macropoint in 2017 was around $200 mil so this one is a larger acquisition monetary wise I think.
In your opinion, has Macropoint worked out as expected...or are there still better things to come from that integration?
Should we expect similar performance with this new acquisition (over time)?

I have held this company as an overweight position for 10+ years and it has done very well for me...thx! It seems to be a 'steady eddie' type stock for the most part...albeit expensive at times based on PE numbers...but sometimes you have to pay up for those types of companies.

Keep up the great teamwork!!

Cheers,
SteveMc

Q: Hello,
Raymond James analyst downgraded SQ to underperform. "In short, we believe organic growth peaked in 3Q18 and growth on the all-important [subscription] and services line will likely materially decelerate in 2Q19. What do you think about this opinion? Do you still think its a buy?
Thanks
