Q: Hi team,

I have been in SQ now for over 6 months and quite happy. Last night, PYPL bought iZettle, a Swedish payments company that is in competition with SQ. I guess good and bad about this for SQ. The bad part (for me anyway) is that PYPL did not buy SQ as that was speculated as a good possibility for some time. It also makes PYPL a stronger competitor for SQ. The good part I guess is that PYPL’s push into this segment endorses the “bricks and mortar” payments side where others are lukewarm about this segment but SQ has a strong presence. What is your view now about the competitive landscape for SQ and does this make a bid for SQ by another candidate more or less likely? I know you guys don’t like speculating on takeovers (except for SPOT, lol).

Thanks again,

dave

Q: Hello, as of today PZA price is at least 25% lower than it was in early January of 2017. Should I continue to hold or sell? The other option I thought of, is to sell PZA and buy XTC as a replacement, does that make sense? I know that they are both in different sectors and that their respective yields are different (6.5% versus 3.7%). I appreciate your help. Thanks, Gervais

Q: I notice some stocks, the minute they have a run-up they give up all their gains and more. KXS, RHT - these two are in your portfolio and COV in your portfolio which a short time ago ran up to $7.00 and then pulled back to $3.00ish, I am hoping happens again, so I can buy it in the $3.00 range - your thoughts (and you always have very good ones)? Thanks Dennis.

Q: Hi There,
It's events such as the recent ENB transaction with ENF that your subscribers receive excellent advice and guidance. Your team is worth their weight in gold!
1. If the transaction is approved does one get 0.7029 Enbridge shares per ENF share?
2. Is it reasonable to assume the transaction will be approved because ENB has more than 66% ownership in ENF?
3. When is the planned transaction date or timeframe?
4. How would they deal with fractional ENB shares after the transaction?
5. Are there any capital gains or tax issues after ENF gets converted to ENB shares?
6. Has ENB reiterated their dividend growth after these transactions?

Q: I have owned and traded this stock for some time.Being a small cap,liquidity is low.After the recent news it was up on higher volume.
It is now down the last two days on light volume which tells me traders are taking a quick profit.Is it possible manipulation is occurring?The long term prospects of this company look good,so it is possible for a manipulator to depress the price(on light volume)and pick up more shares when all the weak hands have abandoned the stock?

Q: Hi 5i Research,
I am in the process of copying your Balanced Equity Model Portfolio.
So far I have purchased 9 items, but before I go to far, I wonder if perhaps you have some suggestions for me how to go about it the best way ? Any tips and suggestion are appreciated. Thanks for your service and keep it up, I like it.

Q: General question on Patriot One Technologies. It seems to offer a better solution than more guns and strikes me as a company that could grow a lot on its own or be taken out for its technology. My online broker indicates that it is due to break out based on a continuation wedge pattern but I like the fundamental story too. Would you suggest this as a speculative buy/high risk buy or is it still way too early?
