Q: I liked your response to Bill on Shopify. You have considerable experience in portfolio management and probably with M&A activities too. This is a two part question.
You have been in situations where you got nervous with a 15% position in a single stock and assume it was not something like Nortel. I would appreciate if you could share with us how you handled it and what was the outcome; without giving specifics if you do not want to.
Secondly, everything has a price even if there are different metrics used for different businesses/sectors. There would be a price which even Lutke would find hard to resist. Retirement would not be a factor but for most retaiil investors it would be so. So at what price point however outlandish, would you advise to pack it in.
As always, i appreciate what you have to say.

Q: I find it curious to read this and realize that a senior officer at SHOP owns so few shares of the company he works for. He owns less than I do.
If I'm correct he's the COO.
"Shopify Inc (TSE:SHOP) Senior Officer Harley Michael Finkelstein sold 416 shares of the business's stock in a transaction that occurred on Monday, November 25th. The shares were sold at an average price of C$413.77, for a total value of C$172,126.94. Following the completion of the sale, the insider now directly owns 517 shares of the company's stock, valued at approximately C$213,917.37. "
So my question is why would you guess would the COO of a fast growing company like SHOP own so little stock. Doesn't show a lot of confidence in the company to me.

Q: Hello team,
Do you see today as a good buying opp for LSPD? Does a takeover rumor of SHOP really justify a drop in LSPD? To me, it doesn't seem like it, and the notion that it would , would be based on a lot of presumptions that the sale of SHOP would hurt Lightspeed in any meaningful way. I have seen days like this before and more often than not prove to be good buying opportunities in a short period of time. Your thoughts please, thanks.

Q: Gentlemen; Lightspeed has disappointed me (-22%) and causes me to wonder if my patience is misplaced. Would I be better taking my loss and moving on or wait for some good news?
Q: Hi,
With Boyd becoming a corporation on January 01, 2020, will it be required to provide more disclosure as to acquisitions, etc. I note that previously, that it is very muted in press releasing ongoing changes in the business or to even comment on quarterly results.
Thanks,
Kelly

Q: Today announced that Blockchain-enabled lightspeed Restaurant epos launches in UK,Your comment please Thanks for u usual services & views.
Q: Peter if shopify does get bought out which 2 companies are looking to buy them out. And since i am a share holder of lightspeed should i be concerned. What are your thoughts about holding on to lightspeed as of now.
Q: If you were to speculate, can you list 2-3 companies for each that are the most likely to, or that make the most sense to, acquire them?
For GoEasy, would it be an alternative lender like home capital or equitable bank, or one or the big 5-6 banks?
For Shopify, would be another payment company like PayPal or MasterCard, a similar online Company like EBay, or a juggernaut like Amazon or Google who would swallow shopify up?
