Investment Q&A

Q: Hello, Shopify stock dropped almost 7%, in Today's trading. Partly it could be attributed to decline in most Technology stocks. But, I was wondering if the patent infringement suit pending in a Texas court also played a part. It was also reported today that Shopify has filed a motion to force Lower 48 IPPLC, to reveal its backers/fund, as this company has a history of such filings against prominent companies with the intention of extorting money for their group.(Last one filed by this co against INTEL was eventually dropped in a similar situation). Not sure, I have all the facts.

If you think, it's only short term noise, does the price drop present a buying opportunity ?

Thank You

Q: I currently have a portfolio with these six holdings. What would be your current top 5-10 Cdn and/or US buys to diversify the portfolio and put a large cash balance to work for a 5-10 year time horizon with total return as the primary objective

Q: What are your 10 top momentum plays?

Q: Hi 5i,
I don't know much about these names but am thinking about investing in one or both, so a few questions to get me started and please deduct as you see fit.
You were asked this morning if SHOP's entry into the POS arena would affect LSPD, and I have the same question, but with respect to NVEI - will SHOP be competing with NVEI in that area?
I think tech may be getting ready for a turn around. Do you think that conclusion is justified by the facts on the ground so far as they are known and, if so, are either or both of SHOP and NVEI likely to benefit given their current prices or, put another way, are they at good entry points?
Does it make sense to own both, or better to take the $$ that would be split between them and go all in on one? If so, which one?
Thanks.
Peter

Q: Now that SHOP has announced plans to enter the point of sale hardware business, is it lights out for LSPD?

Q: Looking for some companies that offer the opportunity for short term trading (decent sized price swings) but have the fallback of being a solid long term holding (income, long term growth potential)...should I find myself in a loss position for a while

Q: After its recent pop, Shop has been sitting in a range. Just consolidating before continuing on an upward trend? Or will it stay flat for the foreseeable future?
thanks

Q: These digital solution providers seem to be pioneering Ai partnerships .
Which would be the ones to invest in and the ones to avoid ?

Q: Which of these two stocks would be a safer investment over a three year period, disregarding anything else, thanks

Q: Would you consider this a reasonable point at which to pick up some extra shares of Shopify to bring down average cost ?
Thank you

Q: Can you provide the fair value of the following stocks: TSLA, SHOP, BN, GOOG, ATZ, NVDA, WELL, GSY, TOI, KXS, ECN, RCI.B ?

Q: Hello 5I. If you had to flag potential screaming buys in the market today what would 5 of them be for a 1 year period and 5 year thanks.

Q: Good morning, which of these two stocks would have the most upside with the least amount of risk over about a three year period, thanks?

Q: Always 2 sides on a coin. In the past day or so, analysts seem to be rating SHOP as a hold or sell. It has had a good run. What do you make of these rating calls. What does crystal ball see going forward.

Q: I did reorganise my portfolios in 2022 for a majority of diversified dividend ETFs and a minority of selected excellent dividend stocks.This strategy was satisfactory ,and I shall not sell this content in 2023.My strategy in 2023 will consider the possibility of a bear market,I shall only " add-on" some stocks on weakness .Could you list 10 canadian+10 us stocks ( not ETFs), among the safest in a bear market in your opinion,including 7 dividend stocks+3 growth stocks for each list,and rank them for safety if possible,many thanks,JY

Q: Shopify has sky rocketed in the last couple of days, do you see short sellers doing this.

Q: Shopify's decision to sell it's distribution business has been well-received. However, the reasons for this divestiture -- complexity and distraction, as well as cost were entirely foreseeable before this initiative started. And the reasons for getting into distribution are not being mentioned in corporate explanations of the change. Have they just gone away? Does this change point to governance issues, such as the unusual independence of the CEO due to the share structure?

Q: Hello, Thank you and Kudos to 5i team for your unfaltering view on Shopify, and even bumping up the weight in the Balanced portfolio recently. Your unbiased and consistent opinion has been a huge support to us for maintaining a long term view on this company, while there has been so much pessimism and negativity in the market. We are very happy with market rewarding the stock last week and I am sure, there is a lot more to come over next several years.

Q: Would Shopify still be a buy even after today's big increase, thanks?

Q: How come Shopify reported early? There were 173,000 shares traded at the last minute last night, who traded that?
