Q: I have a 1/2 position in Lightspeed which I've acuired at an average cost of $61. I would like to begin adding more starting now. Although I generally don't try to time my purchases per se, I have preferred with LPSPD to look for slight pull backs given its volatility. Based on current circumstances, if one were looking for a "good" entry point price wise, what would that be, and if one were looking for a "very good" entry point price wise following a pull back what would that be?

I have the same basic question about 2 of your other recommendations I currently own - ATZ and EGLX. Based on current circumstances what do you consider to be a good entry point and a very good entry point for each of them?

Thank you. waiting for a pull back, but also content to purchasena With today's positive earnings release and the likehood of continued la ped on

Q: Just looking for an opinion,

In what scenario does this ever get back to it's glory days before the oil fallout years ago? I have owned this for sometime in a TFSA and wondering if I should just keep holding due to not being able to harvest tax loss or take the loss and move the proceeds into something else in a different industry where over time I could recoup the loss.

Q: Hi 5i team
A number of questions on LSPD's write-offs of Accounts Receivable please.
- Note 13 of LSPD's March 31, 2021 audited statements shows an Allowance for Loss on Accounts Receivable of $3,519 against Trade A/R of $15,477, or well over 20%. Do you see anything concerning in this?
- Also, LSPD did not disclose the 'movement' in their Allowance for Bad Debts a/c for the year. Is that disclosure not required by GAAP?
-Does 5i have any information on Receivable write-offs during the year?
-I ask the above questions knowing that LSPD plans, as I understand it, to start extending financing to certain customers. I would prefer if LSPD stayed with their core business, and did not become a bank to their customers. How does 5i feel about LSPD extending financing to customers.
Thank you for your comments.

Q: Hi Team,
Three part question. Firstly, I know as professionals you do not recommend “winners” climbing to over a certain % of ones Portfolio. However, if early investors in Apple or shopify for example would of bailed ; some would not be millionaires now. Or in some cases , billionaires where the CEO’s are holding most their wealth in their company stock. How can one hope to land that “life changing trade”(1000% or more) if one keeps trimming eternal winners ? Does it not make sense if a person finds that “winning company” to keep holding of goals are set high?

Secondly..is GSY one of those stocks, if you were to choose the likelihood of a solid company with good prospects, to choose to be overweight in and aim for that life changing 1000% move over a 10 yr or so period? I ask this company specifically because I am overweight this company and this is my goal. (Up over 200% so far and metrics still make this stock look cheap to me)

Thirdly… if you were to speculate a few different companies, either US or Cnd as your “best guess’s” so to speak of having the likelihood of producing 1000% gains over the next 10yrs or so; what would they be? Thanks for your input and deduct credits as you see fit. Thanks
