Q: Hello Peter,
While SQ holds the promise when the retailers open, it does not really matter for PYPL. Which one would you suggest.
In your presentation at the MoneyShow yesterday you mentioned DXCOM in the healthcare sector with an increasing demand, company raising guidance and now being included in the index.
If I were to take a position in it, I will not be able to have positions in both SQ and PYPL. Which of these two would you suggest I let go.
Or would you suggest I hold them both and take a pass at DXCM instead.
As always, your opinion is appreciated.
Regards.

Q: There is news that Brookfield Infrastructure LP reduced the dividend by 10%. I suspect this simply reflects the dividends declared on Brookfield Infrastructure Corp, not a real reduction for the enterprise as a whole. Is this correct?

Q: NTR: never seems to report EPS in-line with guidance, price taker for fertilizers & has high P.R.. Positive side: low debt., retail business with higher margins than commodities. Why was recent Q so bad? Would now be a good time to buy this stock & is dividend sustainable?

Q: Good morning 5i,
It is often mentionned that we should buy US stocks to offset the heavy concentration on financial and energy in the Canadian market. What sectors should one concentrate on in the US for this reason? And, in the current environment, is it possible to suggest one or two preferential stocks in each of these sectors?
thanks

Q: Your thoughts please on earnings from RUBI? As a small company with similarities to TTD they don't seem to be performing as well. What did you like or not like in their quarter? Are they well capitalized to weather the storm? Do you see upside from here for a speculative position in a TFSA and would you advise for or against a new 1/2 position.

Thanks!
