Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: SYZ continues to drop - is there something "wrong"? Is it time to bail (ie. "stop loss") and buy something whose stock is increasing such as SHOP? Selling low (SYZ) and buying high(SHOP)is often not a good strategy unless the low is going lower and the high is going higher. Your thoughts on doing this trade.

Q: I have held both Boyd and Enghouse since 2012 and they have both served me well. However of late their share price has stalled and they seem range bound. Would now be a good time to take profits (50%) in both of these companies and use that amount to take an initial position in Shopify?

Thanks

Peter

Q: Hello 5i!

Knowing that SHOP is expensive on a PE basis, what is it's Price to Sales ratio? How does that compare to the other FANG stocks? (Facebook, Amazon, Nextflix and Google). Do you consider it reasonably price on that metric?

Looking forward to the 5i Event tomorrow!

Regards,
Angelo

Q: Thanks for your Shopify reply. As a follow-up, no business relationship is secure forever but I was surprised you mentioned the risk with their Amazon relationship/partnership. Would they not have a contract for an extended period to justify Shopify's investment in time and resources at the expense of other opportunities and who else would be a potential partner that would be in a position to replace Shopify?
Thank you.

Q: Shopify is flying even before your top pick recommendation yesterday as it was $55 a month ago and just hit $68. It's on a trajectory that may imply a financing is coming soon. What do you think and how would you compare it's potential to Kinaxis' at today's prices?
Thank you.

Q: Good morning. As a new member I was wondering if you could comment on the equities I have in my TFSA. It's value id approximately $45 K. I have been retired for 10 years on an educator's defined benefit pension and would consider myself a medium risk investor.
The equities are ZUB, CRH, HXQ,RY, SHOP, ZCL (with values of $4-6K) and CPG and NPC ($2-3K values).
Can I feel confident with the growth opportunities of these? Do you have other suggestions to look into?
Thankyou.
Jim
