Q: Hi !
It seems that the teams of the National Hockey League are money making machines.
Are they any ways for small investors to participate and to hold shares of teams such as Montreal Canadians ? Any possibilities in sports other than hockey ?

Thousand thanks for your good attention and advice,
Jacques

Q: Hello 5i!
Can you explain the Cognex stock split to me?
Specifically: "Cognex Corp - ‍board approved a two-for-one split of company’s common stock, payable in form of a stock dividend"
I understand the usual two for one but what about the "payable in the form of a dividend"?
Thank you

I'm surprised there aren't any recent questions about CGNX. Any reasons for the recent slide? Does the split have anything to do it? And what do you think we can look forward to moving forward? Is it a sell, hold or buy in your opinion?

Q: Like it or hate it, the GOP has passed their tax cuts. I have been doing some research about where to invest if this happens. It seems that US banks, both the big ones as well as the regional players stand to gain. Do you think this becomes a good time to invest in the US bank stocks? Is there another sector that you think benefits as a result?
