Q: I am trying to identify the best E-Commerce to buy now for solid growth. You commented 6 months ago on Stamps.com (stmp-q). How have your views evolved since then on this company and how would you compare it to Priceline (pcln-q), Mercado Libre (meli-q), Netflix (nflx-q)and Alibaba (baba-q) ?
Very grateful for your views,

Jacques

Q: I'm not sure if this has been previously asked.I have 4 accounts with Scotia itrade. In their acct. summaries they don't have a field for current allocation percentages. I'd like to set up a similar format to your Balanced,Income and Growth portfolios reports.I assume your program is propitiatory.Are you aware of other similar programs available to avoid doing it manually?.

Q: The good news: I bought Shopify in August '16 @ $51.
The bad news: Didn't buy enough!
The question: With the stock at $79.31 and the RSI at 87 (gasp)is adding more at this point just a bit crazy? What I am really doing is holding your feet to the fire on the notion of buying stocks that are running i.e. where is the break point when valuations and emotions are running too high and it's prudent to step back?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Q: this is a general question on options but could pertain to my holding of a fair number of $20 mar 17 call options on DH corp. So what happens when a companies shares are halted and remain halted thru an option expiry date? I assume there would also be no trading in the options either. what options would an option holder have in say a case like this with my holding of dh calls well into the money. In this case I would assume it would be halted due to an offer but also in a different case it could be a bad situation which could cause the stock to drop. would the option expiry date be moved forward to date when the halt was removed?

Q: Hello 5i Team, I would like your views on averaging up on stocks. I was reading in your blog the article about Averaging up on a stock. Yet I hear many professional say to take some off the table when you have some winners. Why not keep your winners and avg up instead? I like to wait for a 10% gain from my last purchase price and see some momentum before I avg up. Can I get your criteria or trigger point before you avg up on stock. Is your criteria different for a blue chip such as a bank than a growth stock such as a tech company?
Thanks for your service
