Q: I don’t like to add to my losers but the price drop of SIS makes it tempting. The stock is still an expensive one but do you think the dividend will start to give it some support? I’m concidering bringing this back up to a 2.5% position as I feel there’s lots of growth potential and I have a long time horizon.

Q: Sis recently reported AGM vote results and there were significant witheld votes for the 3 Bourassa members of the board, and highest for Robert. At the same time, performance continues to be good (as you note in recent report update). However, your full report notes key person risk for the Bourassa's. What can you tell us that would explain the withheld votes? Is this a trouble signal?

Q: Good morning 5i, there isn't much talk about Netflix on this site so I am wondering if you can give me your outlook on it as a growth stock for 10 plus years.

To me it is so well priced for what you get that I will never cancel it. They are currently winning the streaming wars with 148.8 million subscribers globally. They have a ton of competition coming but I don't think any competitors even Disney will be able to compete with them and would anticipate most consumers not canceling Netflix for Disney but adding Disney to their list of streaming services and cutting cable... They have a huge lead (subscriber wise) already and continue to grow, I don't think even Disney will be able to compete with the amount of NEW content they release, not the quality of content but but quantity of content which is what will help grow and maintain subscribers. Foreign content and subscription growth is huge for them as well and where they need to grow anyways. I view them as the leader in streaming and with a global growth outlook they seem to be the best bet to maintain they dominance. The global video streaming market size anticipated to reach USD124.57 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Looking ahead if they maintain and grow dominance worldwide do you not see this stock as being one of the best options for growth?

They as you would surely point out have a ton of debt and burn cash etc. Morgan Stanley predicts they become free-cash-flow positive in 2021 and reach over $10 billion in free cash flow in 2025. Thank you for your thoughts!

Q: Does the below note (from BMO) mean SQ is looking to push into the same space as LSPD? Do you view them as competitive or is overlap minimal?

01:38 PM EDT, 06/06/2019 (MT Newswires) -- Square (SQ) on Thursday said it will allow orders from Postmates, DoorDash, and online order integration company Chowly to appear directly in a restaurant's point of sale.

The move will give owners a combined delivery and point-of-sale product, eliminating the use of multiple tablets and the need to manually enter online orders, Square said.

Q: Hi All at 5i! You have been fielding a lot of questions about Shopify already, so here is one more. I have seen a large value increase in this stock in my TFSA. In your opinion and considering a long term view, do you think the stock has the potential to grow even more? And if so , if you had to speculate, how high might you think it could go ( I realize this involves crystal ball gazing.) Cheers, Tamara

Q: Can you please provide your expert insights into these two companies from investment perspective.
IFRX dropped 90% due to a failed Phase 2 and has roughly more money than its current market cap plus some other drug candidates in the pipeline. Do you think there is potential at the current price?
MYT dropped from more than 2 dollars to 66 cents, with a recent financing at 1.65 cents about two weeks ago. I tried to dig into their quarterly financials, but could not find them. What do you think about it? Where can I find their quarterly financials?
