Q: Good Day Team,

I am down 50% on LSPD at an average cost of 51CAD/share.

I figure if LSPD is sold today even at $30CAD/share, I would lose about 40% of the original investment which is about 2.25% of the total portfolio.

I can average down with enough funds to break even if the company is sold at $30 CAD. My hesitation is what if the company is NOT sold. I am sure the price will halve from where it is now. I am pretty sure you would hold and would suggest not to throw good money after bad.

Yet, I would like to ask for a high risk investor, would this be too risky a move?

Thanks as always!

Q: Hi 5i,
Now that the cancelled Analyst Day has long past and LSPD share price continues to creep up, has there been any news on your radar that might give a hint or clue as to whats happening with the name?

Is 5i able to comment insider trading activities?

Would 5i continue to hold at current price?

Thx

Q: I still have my LSPD stock (at quite a loss) and just wondering with the current announcement of the companying possibly selling or taking it private, if this is the time to sell now or hold on to see what materializes? Is it conceivable that the Company could sell and if so, what might the stock price go to? Your thoughts please...
Thank you!

Q: Sold both for tax loss.
Wondering about proxies for both. Could you suggest a couple? If the proxy goes up in the 30 days, I presume you would keep the proxy until it changed direction. What is the thinking on this process. What if it goes down?
Thanks on your thoughts

Q: Given Lightspeed’s announcement of a 10% staff reduction and up to 10% share buyback, a Scotia analyst suggests it’s a buy, stating Canadian tech is quite undervalued. LSPD has lagged the tech rebound, and I’m interested in your take. Is Lightspeed doing enough to regain investor confidence such that we might see a material increase in the share price?
