Q: Hello Peter,

I would like your opinion on Shopify not just on its own merit but in relation to the ecommerce business of Amazon. While the long term adoption is in place the rate of growth has slowed according to Shopify. However, Amazon being a much larger and mature business had an impressive revenue growth for the quarter?
How will the market value Shopify as compared to amazon? And when taking into account Shopify's vertical integration and Amazon's diverse business, which one would give a better return to the investor for the next 12-18 months?
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Big jump on the PepsiCo announcement. It was still rebounding well before that despite how expensive the stock is and the state of the rest of the market. Would you please share your thoughts / opinion on what the potential thesis of a buyer vs. what the potential thesis of a seller of this stock might be at this time?

Thank you.

In light of the quarterly performance of Meta and Roku, what is your short to medium term outlook for the 3 companies mentioned above? Will they still be candidates for overperforming in a recovery bounce when the market is done with the downward trend.?

Q: Hi Team,
According to recent updates from the company, Well Health seems to be firing on all cylinders. I am trying to understand why it's sitting near year lows. It does not seem appropriate to me for investors to be selling it off like a speculative Tech name. Healthcare will always be needed, and Telehealth should keep advancing...and is in the very very early stages. Management has a stellar history, revenues are climbing rapidly with aquisitions; with all this in mind...is it time to buy more of this name? Or am I missing something here? Thanks

Shane.

Q: US Div Stocks vs CAD Div Stocks? I know the Dividend Tax Credit only applies to Canadian Stocks, but these days some good US STocks are paying 9 to 11 %. What is the Dividend Tax Credit worth in terms of %? I guess it is still better to buy Canadian Div Stocks:
The federal dividend tax credit as a percentage of taxable dividends is 15.0198% for eligible dividends and 9.0301% for non-eligible dividends.

Q: I am moving toward retirement and looking for stocks with a Dividend of 4% plus. Could you suggest some Canadian and US companies that you feel are good value in todays market or ones to watch for this fall if things go down- separate lists please. All categories except financials as I'm overweight there. I'm interested in companies that can ride a recession with higher interest rates. Thank you!
