Q: Hello Peter,
From your reports, Shopify has an inside ownership of 7.4 percent whereas Lightspeed only has 1 percent. Could this somehow be viewed as Lightspeed's management does not have the same confidence in the company as Shopfiy's? I am looking at LIghtspeed as potentially smaller version of Shopify's and am reluctant to put more than 1 percent given the inside ownership.. Please comment. Also, from the cannabis companies, would Organigrams be decent one at this price? Thank you

Q: PBH appears to have been doing ok despite the COVID-19 lockdown, which means, their products are likely not being purchased and consumed. When does the sales slowdown negatively hit them, and what do you think happens to the stock price in the short term, and do you think they have the financials to weather the storm and go back to higher ground after the lockdowns end?

Q: I sold Lightspeed at $26.64, and would like to get back in, but I'm wondering if it would be better to wait until the next report on May 21. It will be their annual report, how do you see this report looking, will it reflect any downturn in business due to Covid, or would that be the subsequent report? Thank-you!

Q: PBH: a lot of debt. and a high P.R. and hurt Wuhan virus effect. Always thought this company was too expensive based EPS and high P.E.; but, it kept going up. I was thinking of adding a half position until they report in mid May - results should be bad, I would think? With their already high P.R. is the dividend sustainable?

Q: SHOP did an offering at $137US on Feb of 2018.
They also did one at $154US on Dec of 2018 which is 9 months later.
8 months later they also did an offering at $317.50 SEPT of 2019.
Add another 8 months and we get to May of 2020.

Do you think this is a perfect chance for them to do another offering at these high prices? Are we due to have one?
Thanks

Q: I am wondering how to assess SHOP going forward based on its recent runup. If the increase is due, in large part due to perceived success during COVID, the next quarterly earnings report will only partly reflect their success/failure for this period. Are you then looking for the guidance they give, the quarterly results they post or will you be continuing to value the company based more on what you know about them from having followed them for some time? I guess my question is valid for all companies during the next 6 months but this one has run up so much, I am wondering if I am being unduly cautious as to how much I continue to hold.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: TFI just reported it's latest quarter. Could I get your comments please and how would you rate it, still at a B+ ? Thinking of averaging in to a small position over the next 3 months, thoughts on this plan?.....but always open a better suggestion. Primary objective is dividend growth with some capital appreciation. Thanks Ron
