Q: Can you explain the SHOP price disparity on the US and CAD exchanges that occurred recently? Reference your answer to a member question yesterday 'SHOP had an unusual spike close on Friday and was up $122. Today it is down $110 and still up over two days. On the TSX where there was no spike the stock is down $20 only today.'

Q: Hello Peter et al,

You have mentioned in the past that Amazon needs Shop or it runs into monopoly problems and that Shop has a strong moat.

When I look at the size difference Amazon has 14x the market cap and 1500x the employees.

When I look at stock price Amazon has been a steady climber with a minimal hit over the past 6 months vs Shop being more than halved in mkt cap.

If I were CEO of Amazon reviewing the co. dashboards and heatmaps - I think I would look at the Shopify roadmap and see either noise or an opportunity we could setup for and pre-empt (if that business is on our roadmap).

How scalable is Shop given that Amazon has a long track record, the most money and supply chains to the best strategic minds?
How sustainable is the Shop competitive advantage?

I ask this wondering how likely Shop is to regain the lofty $2000 level.

Thank you for sharing your insight.

Q: I own all of these high multiple tech stocks in low quantities in tfsas. No particular concern about timelines. Would you continue to advise holding all of them or would you suggest eliminating one or more for the other? Is there a simple way to compare?

Q: Hi 5i: I am considering getting back into some Canadian tech stocks. I would be pleased if you would provide me with your three best picks. A combination of cash on the balance sheet and moderate growth would be the criteria. I am a long term investor. Thank you always for providing great insights on investment decisions.

Q: Hi,
I'm looking for 5 or so US companies who will recover very quickly once we hit bottom. My plan is to do a little gambling and buy long term calls.
Thanks for all the help over the years.

Q: Hi 5i
We don't have any Canadian tech companies but lots of AAPL, GOOGL and NVDA. With current pullback, SHOP and XIT are down a lot (70% and 40% off highs) but CSU only about 15%. Would you buy CSU or XIT?
Thanks,
Greg

Q: Hi Peter

I have question regarding the following list of “fallen angels”. These ten stocks have achieved significant drops in valuation since Dec. 31, 2020. Can you please rank these “fallen angels” in terms of the best risk-return profile over a five-to-ten-year hold? Everyone likes a bargain! Sometimes it is possible to survive a falling knife particularly if you use tungsten as a shield!

We cannot all be superman!
