Q: I received a class action claim form in the mail regarding Amaya (didn't know there was a lawsuit against them). I sold my shares of this company before it became The Stars Group (1/3 for a loss, 2/3 for a small gain). I didn't have a lot of shares and normally don't get involved with these things. What do you usually recommend for people to do in these situations?
Thanks, Paul

Q: greetings - many of the small businesses i know that use square say it is very expensive on a per use basis and if they had a cheaper alternative they would switch. What prevents someone like Visa from entering this space with their own product?Smaller merchants are extremely sensitive to costs so i would expect any 'cheaper' aletnative could erode either their profitability or their client base. Have you seen anything that addresses this issue.
