Q: I read about the recent problems regarding corruption in Brazil, and the huge drop in the brazilian markets today. Since BIP has major projects in brazil, I am left wondering if the latest problems there will impact BIP. If so, will the impact be short term or longer term? Or the problems such that we should lighten up on the stock?

Q: Hello 5i.

I'm currently underwater with Chicago bridge & Iron (cbi)approx. 25%. stock has taken a beating since reporting less than stellar earnings with a weak outlook for the rest of 2017. I know the energy sector is a big reason for this. Although I have a long term view 2-3 yrs for stocks in general, should I ride this out or should I take my losses and move on? If so, can you suggest something within the same sector US or CDN exchange.

Q: On a past BNN Market Call appearance by Ryan, I believe he commented on Kinaxis saying something along the lines that this stock could drop 20% in a year but investors need to understand the long term outlook for this stock and should continue to hold.

What other US or Canadian stocks would you place in this same category? Would Shopify or Tucows be included in this list?

I'm reading a book called The Big Money: Seven Steps to Picking Great Stocks and Finding Financial Security by Frederick R. Kobrick and he shares a similar view of thinking big for the long term. It's a great read and I highly recommend it.

Q: Hi, The secondary has been priced @US$91. Following is the stated purpose:

"Shopify expects to use the net proceeds from the Offering to strengthen its balance sheet, providing flexibility to fund its growth strategies. Pending their use, Shopify intends to invest the net proceeds from the Offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments or hold them as cash."

Any comments ? Thanks
