Q: Mr. Market didn't like ECN during their last spin off and I ended up getting the rest of the company for $2.50 a share { after the special dividend } .... Mr. Market doesn't seem to care for this spin off either ..... I tend to have more faith in ECN management than I do in Mr. Market and am looking at increasing my position toward the larger end of my small cap comfort level ..... What is 5I's opinion on Mr. Market versus ECN management ?

Q: Hi 5i!

I still have a small weight position in Shopify and remain up over 500% from when I first bought. I'm thinking of selling and adding to a half weight position in GOEASY which looks to have better growth prospects. Would you endorse this move in today's market?

Thanks,
Greg.

Q: I was interested in your reply to the 10-bagger inquiry. I want to buy lspd, shop and nvei "to have and to hold". Is now a good time or should I wait for further rate increases? All 3 are in the same group. How does a 40/40/20 split sound?
I think, at some point, they will rise dramatically, too.
Thank you.

Q: You mentioned in an earlier answer that the time to buy is when things are bad which, in context, is now. Can you suggest some Canadian companies which deserve to be purchased about this time? Growth, value, doesn't matter. I have done well in the past by familiarizing myself with your daily answers. No one expects perfection but my 5i compass serves me well. Thanks

Q: My son has saved up for a bit and has a decent amount of capital for his age. He has a TFSA but his investments are varied and not the best for a long term portfolio. We recently sat down and planned out a long term portfolio that would less risky for long term holdings. Would you guys change/swap, remove or add any from this portfolio of Canadian Stocks? TD, MG, BAM.A, ENB, SLF, FSV, T, FTS, CNR and TRI. Is the market also in a comfortable position to currently make a large investment of capital? Thanks.
