Investment Q&A

Q: I'm looking to raise some cash by selling a combination of stocks. In what order would you sell from this particular list?

Q: Correct me if I am mistaken but Shop missed estimates and the stock tanked then they beat estimates last week and the stock soared. Over the past 2 days the stock is up approximately 30%. Does the erratic performance make one doubt their ability to at least achieve estimates, let alone exceed them? I assume it is the company’s executives who project the upcoming numbers! Is executive compensation reasonable? I seem to recall a recent comment that executive compensation was ridiculously high. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Q: Hi Peter…I see both SIS & NFI set 52 week highs today with NFI up 40% year to date. I have owned SIS for a number of years thanks to 5i, so thanks again! I also owned NFI about 10 years ago and sold my shares in stages generating a profit every time, and yes the profits shrank as time passed! I know you’re negative on NFI, but you also recommend buying stocks which set new highs. I’m considering selling my Super Micro and buying either NFI, SIS, MDA or SHOP. Of the 4 I have an existing position in SIS only. I believe I am an “aggressive” investor but Super Micro’s roller coaster ride is testing me. I have owned NVDA since 2017 which I consider to be a core holding. Maybe I don’t need to own 2 chip makers? I’m perplexed, could you give me some guidance?
Thanks,
Jim

Q: SHOP reported good results. Can you provide your views after the call with specific emphasis on why SHOP handily beat estimates and what you see over the next 6 months and 1 year periods. Could the results be the catalyst to get the stock back up to its year high over the next 12 months?

Q: Can you confirm when SHOP next reports. I think it's later this week. What is expected and what specifically does 5i expect? It seems to have fallen from your favourites list. Why? What's changed?

Q: Hi group in what order would you add Regardless of sector to the above stocks that i presently own + would you wait after the big drop in the markets today or slowly average in

also what your general thoughts (short comment will suffice) on the markets going fwd

Q: hi, if I sold about half of my SHOP, what would be your top 3 US and CDN stocks to consider as replacement? this is in my RRSP. cheers, and thanks! Chris

Q: Would you add to shop here?

Q: Does this selloff in tech concern you at all to take down the broader market? Seeing big down moves lately in tech, such as SHOP, GOOGL, NVDA, SMCI, VRT, etc... Tech is my largest weighting for sector, should we be repositioning at all or how would you approach this to maintain profits. I've had a very good run, but hate take the stairs up and then seeing the elevator go down fast. Thanks!

Q: Most tech stocks are rising ( Monday ) , SHOP just continue going down . Any news ? Thanks a lot

Q: In spite of Nvidia’s recent drop, I still find myself quite “tech heavy”, and I’m sure I’m not alone! Thinking of trimming, how would you rank these: NVDA, AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL, MSFT, SHOP.

Q: I almost gag a putting these two in the same question. Could you please provide a comparison of compensation for the two CEOs?

Q: Hi, Any insights as to why the share price of SHOP is trading at a much higher forward P/E and forward P/FCF than all of the magnificent 7 with the exception of TSLA? As of end of trading Jul 15 this is the data I have:

SHOP 62.2
NVDA 43.95
AMZN 40.32

AAPL 33.86
META 24.2

Q: Hi,
After reading disturbing reports about Shopify's business practices, such as not enforcing its own acceptable use policy against its merchants selling nazi-related products, and its COO's board-level involvement with a far right wing media group, do you have any suggestions for ethical growth companies in Canada or the US to replace this name in my portfolio?
Thank you. Michael

Q: Any news for the big jump this morning ( Tuesday ). Thanks a lot.

Q: Hi Group can you please rate in order of your preference for short term trading not to buy and hold . Give me the ones with the most potential to grow. Most of the ones I have identified have been in the tank lately and should be ripe for some sort of recovery. Also if you have any good ideas that fit the criteria please feel free to add/rate the opportunity as you see it.

Q: I was in a Lululemon store in Tokyo (Roppongi neighbourhood) last month. It was a smaller store but very busy and the staff were great...

I have a full position in SHOP. This stock is more expensive than LULU but the growth is also much higher.

Could you compare the growth and opportunity potential for these two consumer companies both short and long term.

As of today and from a strictly growth perspective would you overweight one over the other?

Q: Hello Team,

I was wondering if you could rank the attached 12 companies from 1 - 12. I have some money to deploy in my cash account and already own all 12 in my TFSA/RRSP. Will be a 3 year hold.

No worries on size, risk or industry, looking for best returns only.

Thanks!

Q: What’s happening with SHOP? It’s spinning it’s wheels and slowly losing traction. What will it take to get the price moving up? When does it next report and what does 5i expect? Is it still one of your favourites or is it gradually moving to the sidelines?

Q: Please comment on the recent big price swing in SHOP , HPS . I want to add either LMN or TOI , which one offer better return ? Thanks for your excellent service.
