Q: Hi 5i

Considering the auditor news, all selling is being acquired by someone who expects to make a gain (sometime in the future) as you often point out (generally speaking). Could you comment on the bravery/optimism of these buyers as these circumstances are different to day to day "normal" news/activity.
Just curious...
Mike

Q: Hi Peter...I have some cash in my TFSA and I'm considering buying either SHOP or DSG. I like SHOP but I just don't think the large amount of stock based compensation is shareholder friendly. I'm going to spend about $80,000 CAD so I want stock liquidity. I do have a lot of IT companies (NVDA, CSU, LUM, TOI, COHR). Do you think either DSG or SHOP would strengthen my IT grouping? Also do you think I am being unreasonable about SHOP and its stock based compensation? CSU, where the executives have to buy stock in the open market, being so shareholder friendly makes me hesitant with SHOP. Any comments you have would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

Q: Shipping companies. I was just doing some research on SBLK and came across a question from Jacques going back to Jan 30/2024. It looks like share prices of all those companies have dropped significantly over the course of this year. Some have low P/E ratios , look oversold and have nice yields. I would appreciate your assessment of the situation and whether or not this is a buying opportunity. My primary interest currently is SBLK but I am open to 5i’s suggestions. Thanks
