Q: It’s starting to feel like 2008 but for the tech stocks. How do you currently feel about shopify? It seems quite irrational that it’s trading at lower valuations than pre-pandemic. Almost as if the pandemic didn’t boost their revenues by many multiples

Q: Hello 5I,
I recently bought $GSY on your recommendation as I thought it was a good fit for my portfolio. I then came across some comments it was a predatory lender.. I wondered is this accurate or just a disgruntled ex-employee or customer? I know they deal with less qualified borrowers and get paid more for that risk but is it not a necessary service that is policed by the government?
Thanks

Q: Hi,

How will a transportation company be able to make money in an environment with high gas prices, high inflation, high interest rates and short supply of workers? Unless they are able to transfer the costs to the customer..Even so will it impede their growth? Thanks.

Q: I see an opportunity to be greedy when everyone else is fearful. In June 2021, AcuityAds Holdings sold a total of 5,665,025 common shares at a price of US$10.15 per share, for gross proceeds to the Company of US$57,500,003.75. As of the last quarterly report they still have the proceeds of this public offering sitting unused on their balance sheet. They have just announced a normal course issuer bid to repurchase up to 5,350,000 common shares. ATY closed at US$3.34, more or less unchanged today, after initially popping on news of their share repurchase. To me, this seems like a no-brainer for ATY: sell at US$10.15 and buy at US$3.34. At today's closing price, ATY could repurchase 5.35 million shares for US$17.9 million and still have nearly US$40 million left in the bank from their public offering!! I don't see any fundamental change in ATY's business prospects since June 2021. ATY is currently 1.6% of my holdings and I am wondering why I wouldn't keep buying shares at current prices until it reaches a full weight of 2.5%. What am I missing? Should I be greedy or fearful? I would appreciate your insights.

Q: Thank you for your great service I look at the questions almost every day. My question is about Shopify it looks to me that it has broken some support level. Could this mean the next level of support is back in the march lows of 2020? My technical analysis is not very good so please correct me if I’m wrong.

Q: what , if anything,will trigger a rebound in shop apart from general market conditions. if they buy deliverr is this a good move.

Q: Goeasy is a great buying opportunity under $120 ($119.30 as I write) with a 3% dividend, 7/8 years of dividend increases plus great management, great growth, etc. I'm thinking people are afraid of inflation (I'm 70 so been there) or repositioning funds. Even with a full weight 5% posn I am tempted to add. Your thoughts on going over weight.
