Q: I picked up a 2% position in SYZ in March which has moved very quickly to a 3.5% postion. I own CSU 7% and ENGH 4%. as my other tech holdings What would you do? SYZ is smallish market cap to me but I think that has worked for me. I also like the divvy. I am thinking of trimming back to 2% but also like the momentum. Thoughts Thx

Q: 2 Questions on Lightspeed, the stock has of course dropped like a rock and rebounded significantly from the lows 6 weeks ago, but even still if it were to head back to February highs it would be an increase of 80% from todays price.
I am trying to understand how much revenues can and are being disrupted by their clients business closures at least in the short term. They list in the most recent MD&A, software and payments revenue (cloud-based software subscription licenses and recurring revenue sources including payments solutions) accounted for 89 % of the previous 9 months revenue. Also noting that most clients are on 12 month contracts with monthly payments. With lightspeed payments only being introduced in the previous quarter there cannot be much revenue lost yet as it was more of a future revenue potential not a current revenue driver. I don’t think they breakdown what their cut would be with the current payment partnerships but they would of course lose out on payment fees potentially similar to SQUARE whose Payment volume was down 39% their final 2 weeks of the quarter, but how much do you think that could change Lightspeeds revenue?
Just a quick browse on their website shows they offer and excel in e-commerce for businesses, so some or most clients would be online and able to operate, if not they should and could be scrambling to add the capabilities to operate online, so this should be a net positive for this type of company (omni-channel commerce SaaS) in this changing business landscape due to COVID-19.
With lots of cash on hand to weather the short term storm, a high % of recurring revenue and the desperate need for businesses to be online would you not think Lightspeed for a long term play or even short term is one of the best options out there for growth?

Q: I am hoping that you can shed some light on the revenue streams for CAE. I don't expect the airline industry to show much growth for a couple of years and but I am wondering how much this affects this company. How much of their revenue is generated from training brand new pilots, pilots on new aircraft, regular ongoing training for pilot license maintenance etc.? I know you like CAE and I normally don't pay that much attention to timing as I am a buy and hold investor. However, I am wondering if in this instance are growth revenues still two years away or do they maintain fairly even cash flow? I am assuming that the medical division is still a minor contributor to cash flow.
Appreciate your insight.

Q: I am trying to reflect on what the POS means for SHOP and other businesses. Does this suggest that SHOP is trying to develop a well guarded ecosystem (or has already done so)? What do you think the next step might be? For example, can they move into square's space and do so directly from their existing client base? Does their now massive cash horde suggest that they are likely to start some buying, presumably in niche areas that complement this move to full integration of on-line and brick-and mortar retailing? Thank-you again.

Thanks. Chris

Also, do you think most of the bought deal being listed tomorrow will be placed with institutions and not be sold on the open market putting pressure on the share price?

Q: Would negative interest rate ( if it happen ) affect GSY performance ? Thanks a lot.
Q: Read your report on PHO. Curious about the rating. On your sidebar you have a rating of B+ but overall rating of B-. Why is the meaning of the difference between these 2 "ratings"?
Q: I picked some of FCR.UN today at $11.90/share for my TFSA. I am looking at this trust and thinking it is very cheap now - NAV around $18 and they did OK in April with 74% of rents collected plus they have tenants like Walmart, Canadian Tire, Liquor stores - and located in the bigger cities (GTA). Seems like they would do good long term at this price with a nice yield? I am looking at a 5 year hold at minimum.
Q: What huge swings in PHO. Did the pendulum swing too far up on a good report and back again on profit taking? How do you foresee their going forward?
Q: Please comment on latest Q of sis & its impact going forward,Txs for u usual great services & views
Q: Long Term Care and Seniors Residence in general are in the spot light demonstrating what perhaps many of us, still young seniors, know from looking after our parents in and around Seniors Residence.....that they are not desirable places to have to be. Even the high end residence the majority of seniors can not afford are difficult to staff and are still close quarters to one degree or another. That said, staying away from those places will be the preference of us who are getting up there. SIS devices will be in greater demand. Who are other companies to compete with SIS?
Sorry for being long winded.

Q: Ok, I'll show my ignorance by asking this question: What is the additional stock offer at this company and how is it going to dilute the stock price/value?

TIA for all you do!
