Q: Hello 5i Team,
Seems that Square is recently facing much more competition. Just in the last two days, JP Morgan has launched "Quick Accept", Visa has announced "Tap to Phone" and Paypal is opening up their network to cryptocurrencies. Is the big run over for Square, and would you recommend possibly switching to Paypal within the payments space, given these announcements? Thanks. Brad

Q: "Hello 5i team,

As we approach election season and Q4, the markets look to be taking a bit of a downturn that is reminiscent of earlier this year in Feb/Mar.

What are your thoughts on what's ahead for Q4 in terms of buying? Are there any industries and/or names that you would suggest to focus on?

Specifically, I am considering AAPL, MA, SHOP, SQ and AMZN on the current correction, given the upcoming holiday and gift buying season is likely to have a lot of ecommerce action and new apple toys, with payment processing being a natural fit.

If you could suggest your views on which industries and names have typical strength Q4 that would be appreciated.

Thanks very much! "

Q: I hope I'm not out of line asking this. But I've noticed that, while you seem to like Square, the lack of SQ appearing in your disclosures indicate that you don't own any.

What would be your reasons for not owning SQ? I'm thinking long term and see potential with Square's Cash App replacing consumer banking. Thanks again.

Q: How do I play the demise of wirecard? Would a competitor swoop in and take all the market share? If so which company would in your opinion be the most capable of doing so? Pypl? Sq? Maybe even shop? Any others worth considering?

Q: Hi, I'm looking to add to the fintech world. I'm sure online purchases and contact-less (cash less) payments only continue to increase.

What is your favorite growth stock in this category (1) overall, and (2) one that is well positioned to succeed in both the physical space (contact less at stores) and online (web payments).
