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

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?

Q: On June 10 you answered a question on portfolio weights,saying that you would generally consider a good portfolio as having 25 stocks, making 4 percent a full position. How would etf’s figure into this scenario? I know that you have often said that one should have at least a 5percent position in an etf. Is that suggestion for a portfolio of 25 stocks?
Thanks again for the excellent site

Q: Two general questions:

My ACB on RPI is approaching zero. When I eventually sell, will Revenue Canada consider zero as the minimum possible ACB or am I expected to continue to calculate an ACB once it goes into negative territory?

This is likely more of an issue for my eventual estate, as I assume once one gets to ACB one just collects dividends unless management does something really silly. Is there any other reason to consider selling a reliable dividend payer once ACB gets to zero?

Has a big dividend with a yield of around 10%. This company seems to have done well for its shareholders over the years. Wondering what you think. Thanks
