Q: Hi 5i,
I really like your creation of DOCCKS through amalgamating those 6 Canadian names, and the comparative 5 yr history you've put together of some salient numbers.
I think it might be helpful to also see where the money comes from, and wonder if you would also be able to break down the geographical origin (percentagewise) of each company's revenue and, further, compare those results to the net profit, FCF etc resulting from each geographical source of revenue?
Thanks 5i,
Peter

Q: Hi Peter...I have some cash in my TFSA and I'm considering buying either SHOP or DSG. I like SHOP but I just don't think the large amount of stock based compensation is shareholder friendly. I'm going to spend about $80,000 CAD so I want stock liquidity. I do have a lot of IT companies (NVDA, CSU, LUM, TOI, COHR). Do you think either DSG or SHOP would strengthen my IT grouping? Also do you think I am being unreasonable about SHOP and its stock based compensation? CSU, where the executives have to buy stock in the open market, being so shareholder friendly makes me hesitant with SHOP. Any comments you have would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

Q: I have looking at initiating a small position in either SHOP or CLS. Which would be the "better" investment, and why? And if growth was the main objective, do you see something else as having better long term potential? Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Over the past 5 yrs these stocks have done quite well - thank you. (Except BYD).

My portfolio has grown but these are small % and need a top up to have a meaningful impact.

Looking ahead 3-5 yrs could you rank these on moat strength and which would be best to buy now?

Thank you

Q: I owned GIB.A, DSG,TOI,LMN,NVDA,DCBO and would like to know if there is an overlap between any of these stocks or do they have their own unique business so all should be owned? I am trying to decide if I should reduce the numbers of tech stocks as I currently have 27 stocks and have read that best to have around 20-25 stocks.

Thanks

Q: Hello, and thank you for an informative service. In theory, what are your views on adding to a so-called expensive/highly valued stock when your original cost basis is quite low? For example, I keep reading how Dollarama is at a high premium right now. I have a lot of it, and my original cost basis is about $97. Even adding a couple thousand dollars would keep it at something like $97.50. as a general rule or idea, is it worth building on positions like this? Also, I don't know if this would be considered a second question, but if you could rank the five stocks in order to purchase today keeping in mind my original question, that would be much appreciated. Thank you again.
