Q: I am not sure how much growth SHOP has in its future. If it can grow to $3000 a share and there are not many companies that have a share price that high then it would equate to a 50% share price growth.
If one was to sell SHOP are there other companies that have a higher growth percentage potential. Appreciate your thoughts and suggestions.

Q: Today on Yahoo Financial there was about fifteen class action lawsuits news releases brought up against LSPD. I know that these law suits do not usually go to far but with this many, is there a serious problem with the stock, Is it a buy, hold or sell. I have done very well with it thanks to 5I but it looks like it has lost it's glimmer.

Q: Hi 5i
REAL reported today and stock continues to slide...How were the earnings and what do you think this companys future looks like going forward?

At a -60% loss would you continue to hold or sell and move on?

If sell what would suggest for replacement in similar space with better expected upside.

Thx
Jim

Q: Hello 5i team, I am a patient investor, but exclusively if, 5i and I, we both have a strong conviction that a company situation will be much improved in say, 24 months from now. Because of the 2021 trading range and risks involved, I am trying to get the best possible entry point (suggestion?). I know it is short term trading, but I am trying to understand if EGLX is bottoming after going down -60% since mid-April 2021. Volumes are sky high versus history since quarterly publication. There has been only one trade of above 40k shares since quarterly publication. What are moving averages, RSI and MACD telling you? What is your understanding of the seesaw trading of the past 4 days? What would you suggest as a good entry price (I do not mind that much if my order is not executed, as I know there will be other opportunities somewhere at some point in the future). From analysts forecast, EGLX will not make a quarterly profit in 2022: will EGLX be EBITDA positive in any of 2022 quarters? Do you know when EGLX is expected to generate a quarterly profit? From daily reading of 5i Q&A, I know you like EGLX and NVEI (which I group in the same sub-sector): how much more do you like one over the other for long term return? Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Q: Hi 5i,
GDI may be in falling knife mode right now but, looking ahead to when it finds support, do you think it will be an attractive add point, on a longer term view? Or would you say that recent results were related to issues in the business performance that are likely to persist and continue to be a drag going forward? Thanks!

Q: Is there a need to readjust these significant losers in a RRIF ?
My Tech is over 20% now (even with LSPD loss). If I were to "trim" the tech down would you keep LSPD and sell KXS and reinvest is something less volatile in a otherwise balanced RRIF ? maybe BCE, CNR, GSY, or FTS ?
Thanks as always, Peter

Q: Would it be correct to say GSY has marked to mkt. profit on AFRM up to Sep. 30? If so, then would they still have about $37. CDN on the balance of 368,000 if AFRM closed the year about $150.US for a total about $13,500,000. CDN?
Thanks

Q: 10:55 AM 11/15/2021
I am interested in Canadian companies that stockpile data and business information and provide this information on a one-time or subscription basis for reoccurring income. It seems they have strong moats
I really like dividends but I sense that these may all really all growth companies except for ISV
I am currently looking at DND, TRI, and ISV so far
Are there other companies with similar businesses?
Could you please compare all these companies for expected share price growth, debt, POR, dividend growth, etc., and place them in a list of desirability.
Is it better to forego a nice dividend as in ISV, and just go for growth?
If that's the case then why not just cut to the chase and buy CSU in our TFSAs and wait 10+ years?
Thank you.......... Paul W. K.

Q: This stock has performed well over time but in mid May there was a significant drop in price but recovered then recently another significant drop. I know they are experiencing cost issues and ask if this stock will recover or continue to suffered significant stock price reductions? Is this still a long term hold?

Q: Hi, what do you think of the digital games portfolio of spinmasters ? Do you think that this part of the company will produce major growth in the future ? I read in their 2021 playbook that: The Company’s digital games business saw considerable growth and popularity in 2020, largely due to the growth of the Toca Life World franchise. As of March 2021, the Toca Boca ecosystem had over
50 million monthly active users, more than double the same period last year. The Toca Boca studio will continue to pioneer digital play with the introduction of its first multiplayer game, Toca Days, set to go live at the end of 2021.

The Toca life world and toca hair salon are presently ranked 4 and 5 in the apple education app store.

Thanks
