Q: I've been watching this one for a while, ever since you compared it favourably within the context of alternative energy / solar stocks. Wednesday's "dip" turns out to have been driven by a class action lawsuit concerning alleged revenue manipulations.
The press release from the legal firm filing the class action has this to say:
"On June 17, 2020, Prescience Point Capital Management issued a report alleging, among other things, that 'at least 39%, or $205.3 million, of [Enphase's] reported U.S. revenue is fabricated.' The report also claimed, citing former employees, that 'a large portion of [the Company's] astronomical growth over the past two years is attributable to accounting gimmicks that artificially inflate revenue and profits.'"
What are your thoughts on Enphase in light of this news?
Also, I'm curious given your experience, are you able to share any insights on how class action lawsuits affect companies and their share performance -- at least, until the allegations are actually proven or rejected in court?

Q: Could I get your opinion on Mastercard please. Also would you own either it or Visa.
Unless the trend to less cash reverses these companies should have some strong tailwinds but are never inexpensive from a valuation standpoint. Thoughts pls.
Q: As a result of comments from 5i and other factors I initiated partial positions in the above 5 companies (so thanks!). All have done well.
At this point I am looking to add to my positions and wondered if you saw any red flags in any of the 5 companies and also in which order you would rank for adding funds.
Q: Sir, I find myself down 25-60 % in ALL of the above companies. In keeping with your BUY MORE, HOLD, SELL SOME or all, I would appreciate your thoughts on the above companies. I have some capital gains to off set so all is not lost- yet. Thanks- JP
Wondering what your thoughts are on food service or food provider companies? Their exposure is fairly broad (across both Canada and the US). Stock price will presumably fluctuate with opening decisions. If you had a choice of the two, which one? Thanks.
Q: Given the extremely large Fairfax/Hamblin Watsa presence in ATCO (aka "Seaspan") and its seemingly "o.k." numbers, is it a worthwhile position for Income? How does it stack up against SFL:us and CMRE:us in this respect?
Q: Hi, I bought SPOT at $140 in Feb 2019 and am thinking of selling after its recent run but wondering what you think of it/if I should just ride the momentum. Has it gotten ahead of itself/how "expensive" is it?
Thank you.
Q: Shopify got an immediate boost from the announcement of its partnership with Walmart. It sounds like the two are vying to compete with Amazon, selling third party goods on the Walmart website. I had been thinking that the best way to play this for a more conservative investor would be to buy Walmart's more reasonable valuation. Interestingly, the deal did little or nothing for Walmart's stock. Is the deal insignificant from Walmart's perspective?
Q: I'm looking for a US or Canadian company to compliment American Towers and semiconductor stock, like Qualcomm because of the 5G theme. Wondering if there is a quality company with growth potential that would complement the existing positions that you would suggest I consider
.....Thanks....Tom
