Q: Can you provide a list of 10 US and 10 Canadian stocks that you think have the highest conviction/potential to double from current prices over next 12 months or so. Market cap or risk is not a factor. Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Team – Having read the latest questions and responses on Lightspeed, I have a few to add and hopefully there isn’t much of an overlap here.

1) On BNN the new CEO talked about the launching of new products. Could you explain what these products are.
2) He also said that Lightspeed is replacing the old Legacy system for its clients with a more up-to-date system. Could you explain what that means.
3) Are there headwinds with more in-store shopping expected as pandemic restrictions are being lifted and at least some of the population wants to return to the personal shopping experience as opposed to the online experience.
4) What will it take for Lightspeed to become profitable and do you have an idea how long that will take.
5) I know Lightspeed has just under 1 billion dollars in cash but does it have any significant debt.
6) Could you describe any similarities to Shopify and also elaborate on the differences.

There are many questions here and even though they relate to just the one company, please feel free to deduct credits as needed.

Thank you.

Rob

Q: I’ve read the previous questions about AAPL’s movement into the payments space and their direct challenge to SQ. I have LSPD, NVEI and GSY in the financial space. Given the potential reach of ApplePay and the evolution of Buy Now Pay Later (along with other innovations I may not even be aware of), could you please discuss potential future challenges that may negatively impact the 3 companies I hold. Thanks!

Q: I have 6K in my TFSA that I’d like to deploy. Presently the TFSA contains the following names and the weight for each one of my TOTAL portfolio (Margin+TFSA+RRSP).

EGLX 0.87%
GSY 3.75%
LSPD 1.62%
MG 5.41%
NTR 6.26%
SHOP 2.05%
WELL 1.94%
NVDA 3.42%
PLTR 1.33%
PINS 0.53%
TFII 5.74%
U 2.29%

Should I sell EGLX and PINS since they have dropped below 1% of the portfolio?
Should I add to one, two or three of these names? If so in what order of preference?
Or should I go with another suggestion? If you can list 5 in order of preference.
Any sector CDN or USA.
I will not need the cash for another 8-10 years minimum.
Thanks for all you do.

Q: How did JP do on his first earrings call? He is an extremely intelligent and capable leader. Also in relation to Dax, many are assuming he was forced out. Dax is a great leader and great leaders know when it’s time to pass the torch. Time will tell of course but I would not through in the towel on Lightspeed.

Q: Hi Team,
I remember LSPD going to $12 in March 2020 and how surprised you were.
Today, when you state that you will be "reviewing everything", it makes me worry. You mention the report will be updated as soon as possible but that could take days.
Would you be able to provide insight to your members (sell/hold/buy more) sooner that waiting for a report?
Thanks

Q: In a previous comment, you speculated that the Board may have made the CEO change. Were you surprised with the departure of Dasilva from the CEO position? Based on past results, did you see this as a possible move? What do you think was the catalyst that triggered the change? Will you be updating your report on LSPD and if so, what is the timing? Is it a buy (probably not), hold or sell?

Q: Thank you for helping us navigate through the volatility with a cool head. I have 2 questions.

In a long term horizon 3 years and more for the above list could you separate them into 3 buckets and identify 1 group for which you would add funds, 1 group to keep and 1 group to sell? All stocks mentioned are now reduced to 1% or less in a non-taxable portfolio.
XBC -20%
AT -15%
CARE -50%
LSPD -45%
DOC -60%
WELL -30%
EGLX -30%
ENGH -30%

My 2nd question:

For the following securities in a corporate account with a 2-year horizon. Do the same exercise and separate into 3 buckets which ones you would add funds to, which ones are keepers and which ones you sell.
AT -50%
LSPD -45%
DOC -60%
WELL -30%
EGLX -30%
ENGH -30%

Thanks again

Q: Looking to take advantage of the pullback in growth names. The names above are standing out to me as companies that have been beaten up and 'may' offer a good short term bounce as well as long term potential. Is this a buying opportunity for those listed above? Are there other names you would suggest and could you rank them please? I am a fairly aggressive long term investor with an otherwise diversified portfolio.
