Investment Q&A

Q: What technology stocks would you recommend investing in right now, US and Canada?

Q: Hi 5i,
I have the following in a non-registered (and high risk tolerance) account:
LSPD (+55%)
GAN (-21%)
XBC (-65%)
QUIS (+21%)
AMY (+28%)
PLTR (-15%)
NANO (-28%)
OPS (+37%)
PLUG (-62%)

1. Is there any names on this list that you would consider selling at a loss and re-deploying elsewhere?

2. I'd like to buy LSPD in my separate registered account considering the sharp drop over the past couple weeks. Is there any limitations on owning the same stock in both registered and non-registered accounts? I am comfortable in my overall position so that would not be a concern.

Please deduct credits as you see fit.

(There is a chance I've submitted this question twice; if so, please answer this one. My browser crashed during my first submission and I'm not sure if the first one went through.)

Thanks for your insight,
Kyle

Q: Hi folks!

Not a question, more of a comment on the attack on LSPD.

Correct me if I am wrong, but when SHOP got attacked by citron back then, I don't recall them coming out with any statement whatsoever to defend themselves? They pretty much ignored it and went on with their business!

If that "Media clown" Cramer would have invited the CEO of SHOP to defend themselves, I highly doubt he would have gone on. Unless he did and I did not see the show? Not like I watch that hyper active show.

The best way to beat a short attack and have them go away is to post strong quarterly numbers...point final!! Isn't that what SHOP did? They kept quite and beat all estimates which squeezed all the juice out of citron! (Citron is french for lemons :)

Ignore the noise people!!

Thanks

Q: Hi Team,
I was debating whether I should sell PLTR to buy MORE of either NVEI or LSPD. Which do you see having more long term potential here? Or should I simply keep holding PLTR? It is a little frustrating watching it go from being up 14% after hours last night to only 1% as I write this. Seems like nothing wants to move the needle anymore with PLTR. Thanks

Shane.

Q: I bought REAL in juin 2020 and have averaged down on the way, ending with a large loosing position. Lesson learned about averaging down!

How do you consider the outlook for REAL? It missed estimates, but how do you like the growth, the balance sheet and the valuation actually?

Im wondering if i hold longer or if i trim around 1.5%?

Im considering the lower market to average up LSPD, GSY, ATA, WSP or BYD. How would you rank those today?

Q: sold all my lspd when short report came out.
i agree with you 100% that cramer is in the entertainment industry, i also think he is a little off upstairs but he is extremely bright and a very hard worker.
my question is why wouldn’t dax disilva go on his show and answer each negative in the short report-if there is nothing to hide this could only benefit the stock and remove the monkey on lightspeeds back. it makes no sense and something does not add up.i value your opinion .dave

Q: NO PROFIT... NO PROBLEM...

This is a story in the Globe and Mail dated Sept 25th 2021. The article made all lot of sense and there seems to be a disconnect with growth at all cost with no profit. Maybe this is how things are done just look at how our government is run.

I don't have a specific question to any of the companies mentioned above but with LSPD in the news lately maybe it will apply. I know there has been a short report put out on LSPD and from some of the comments that I am reading from 5i that they are false.

My question is how do you know?

We don't know the real workings of a company and what we get from them is what they want us to hear. Take for example XBC, that wiped out all of value from investors because we didn't get the correct information from Management. It's what they wanted us to hear and we believed them.

I think there should be some healthy skepticism with regards to what Management says and does and investors should take away that capital preservation is paramount.

If LSPD or any company that gets shorted and can't explain the reasons for the discrepancy in a respectfully dialogue then maybe there is some truth to it but like I said we don't really know.

Who is right? The short trader or the Stock promotor?

Until we get all the information it will always be Buyer Beware and don't fall in love with any stock.

Sincerely.

Q: I have read all the questions regarding LSPD. It has been a huge winner in both of our TFSA’s, and I decided to continue to hold after reading your answers.

However Cramer really bodyslammed the company today as you probably know.

He cited the company’s response to the short report as “inadequate” …. And made more of a big deal about the company not agreeing to give Mad Money an interview since he had had the CEO on his show fairly recently.

Would any of that change your perspective on LSPD?

Thanks for your help with this important decision.

Q: Cramer did a number on LSPD on his show Mad Money last night and was criticizing management for not coming on the show to defend their position.

I see you've said to do nothing but that is trickier when trying to protect a profit. In that case would you be a seller?

For new money, would you be buyers right now?

Q: Apologies in advance for yet another question on Lightspeed, and not sure if you caught Jim Cramer's show this evening, but he slammed Lightspeed - seemingly went out of his way, for a prolonged period of time - to embrace the short report as gospel, and to sell, sell, sell.

Obviously there will likely be an enormous hit in the morning. But in your estimation, is this game-over for this high-flier? The company turned down an invitation to defend themselves on-air, likely a wise choice given Cramer's current sentiment towards the firm, but given his wide appeal (and I'm assuming influence) is it possible to overcome this negativity? Or just wait, and the numbers will - or not - speak for themselves. I think I know you'll say that I answered my own question, but given this mess, I wanted your sound judgment.

Thank you as always...

Q: Is there any credibility in the recently published short seller’s report? One would wonder given the sell off in the stock.

Q: Hi folks
Is there an advantage to buying some LSPD on the US side? Or no difference at all?
Much thanks

Q: Can you please rank these companies in terms of your preference, with a growth perspective in mind, starting from most preferred first?

Q: HELLO 5i TEAM, I'm looking to add a couple of tech stocks after this down draw is past. Please advise the "NET DEBT" for each of the above companies, and which 5i would recommend a buy in a month or so.

Q: What are your thoughts on the most compelling buys today regardless of sector or country?

Q: Happy to see LSPD bounce off resistance at recent issue price this week. Can you provide some commentary on Lightspeed's acquisition of Ecwind? Seems like there was some dilution.

Q: Does this investigation look legit? Thx, James

Q: Hello would you view the recent pulback in lightspeed a buying opportunity. thanks

Q: Hello,
I am considering selling LSPD and buying more ARX and/or CVE given the current environment. Would this plan be a good way to make money in a down market?

Q: Hi Peter,

Does a portfolio, that is made up of the stocks listed above, agreeable to you if one has a longer term time frame, say 5 years plus and has a high tolerance for risk?

Thanks,
