Q: Do these companies do the same thing? They look similar to me and both look crazy expensive. SHOP last 4 Q has made a tiny bit of profit while the other has lost money every Q.There a lot of tech companies selling at crazy multiples to EPS. I am hoping this COVID-19 scare will knock them down a lot; none the less, wondering about your take is on my commentary. Finding it hard to invest in this group.

Q: Once the current rout in the market bottoms, please suggest the best ETF's listed on the TSX to ride the market back up, purely for capital gains, covering both the TSX and the Dow. These would be short-term investments during the recovery mode.

Q: Hi guys,

I was looking at buying some SHOP if the panic continues. While GDP and retail would be hard hit, SHOP presence is mainly online, yet shipping is likely to be impacted perhaps. Do you see them as more or less impacted by the virus than traditional retailers or would there impact be similar to the impact on Amazon?

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Good morning. My question concerns the shut down of the TSX yesterday afternoon. Our CDN platform goes down yet we have some 50 odd CDN stocks trading on multiple platforms that can still be bought or sold. It seems an entire nation of investors and investment professionals are unable to do their respective jobs because our data system is antiquated. Billions of dollars in trades are held up yet stocks with dual listings can be traded. Once again I'm underwhelmed by all things Cdn. The TSX needs to upgrade it's systems. I can see some enterprising lawyers developing a class action lawsuit on behalf of investors and investing professionals who are powerless under these circumstances to do a damn thing in real ttime. Any thoughts or suggestions? David

Q: Hello Peter,
Convention says do nothing in a sharp downturn, although this has the potential to be more like 2008, deep recession included.
What would you say if i were to sell some or all of AFN, MX,FLIR, BAC, GH (US),GIL,TD,CCL and SIS? And buy COST, MSFT, AMZN(GOOGL), DSG(add) and NVDA(orQCOM).? The thesis being, that these would do better from where they are now, over the next 2 quarters. Or just sit tight.
Thanks for your advice.
Regards.
P.S. Which would you prefer- AMZN or GOOGL? NVDA or QCOM
