Q: Similarly to the question asked by David regarding your Income portfolio, for B-E portfolio, what would be your top 10 stocks in the order you would buy. Based on anticipated total return (dividends + stock price increase) for the next five years expectations. I would also appreciate if you could add to these stocks your return expectations and risk ratios on the scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being highest. Thanks.

Q: SHOP had a breakdown/glitch in their system yesterday that caused the stock to tank. This is probably the achilles heel of systems like Shopify. Reliability is so important. What impact do you see it having? My take is its news today but will be forgotten tomorrow if remedial action has been taken and they assure clients and the market it's now under control. Is this similar to your take?
