Q: Given DND is not going private, at what price were stock options granted, who gets them and when can you convert. I am trying to decide whether I should invest now at around $35 or wait for a better entry point closer to the end of tax loss selling season. Do stock options align management with investors?

Q: May I have your comments on aritiza’s earnings please

3- is the market even reflecting this in gsy share price
ii) 655,416 common shares of Affirm, and iii) 468,154 common shares of Affirm held in escrow and subject to forfeiture if certain PayBright revenue milestones are not met

Q: Does the companies business model change in a rising interest-rate environment?
I am down 15% in a 5% position thinking that the acquisition of Lendcare would help offset loan defaults plus the terms of their revolving credit were expanded and improved. Does this remain a good 3-5 year hold
Thank you. I appreciate your comments.

Q: Hi 5i,
Looking through the last 5 years, it appears that the typical dividend from LNF bounces between $0.12 and $0.16.
How do you feel about their recent special dividend of $1.41? I would've expected them to reinvest most of this to help grow further or slightly increase their dividend going forward.
I would have also assumed that this special dividend would have sent their stock price higher as a reflection of their current strength but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Q: Peter; From a chartists view would the volume and price jump today point to a buy signal ? Thanks. Rod
Q: Hi Peter,
I have been holding onto DND. After the news on the decision to remain a public company, I was glad indeed at the decision made.
If management was willing to take the company private at $50.50 and now the committee that was formed decided that there is more value over and above the $50.50, I am surprised that the stock is selling off . It’s actually now on sale as far as I am concerned and I have been happily adding to my position.
Could I get your thoughts?
Thanks

Q: Goeasy down over 14% in the last 18 days. Something going wrong with this company?
Q: Would you recommend the purchase of a full position in SHOP under the current and immediate future market conditions?
Q: Thank you for your very appreciated service.
My question is, how can an investment in financial services like SLF be bullish when bond rates go up. My understanding is that the value of the bonds held will decline in such a scenario so SLF's balance sheet will be negatively impacted as well. Enlighten me, how does SLF benefit from a rising interest rate environment?

Q: The stock price for AT has been falling. Do you have any reasons for it? I own a small position at much higher price. Could you please share your opinion whether this stock is sell, hold or buy? Thanks for you input.

Q: Could you comment on Lightspeed's historical earnings, growth performance vs stated forecast, etc?
In other words how reliable has their pitch been?
As I understand, they report in a few weeks and with the Sprucepoint gun to their heads, highlighting the soft spots, this may be a critical validation day.
Thank you

Q: LSPD's SP continues to be very volatile daily while under the current short attack. Can we assume such attack will not end until the company reports its next quarterly results - assumed to be in the first week of November - based prior reporting history
The assumption is, after LSPD reports publicly as required by law, the short's accusations would either be proven correct, or partially correct (after all the best lies are the half truths), or just vicious rumors used to destroy LSPD's SP for their own profit.
If the accusations are without merit, do the indemnified parties, such as us common small retails, can seek restitution from the short seller? Has that happened before and how successful are they in seeking such compensation based on past history?
I've been in the market for almost 20 years and find the practice of short selling morally unethical. What legal protections do the investors have against such shady practice from the market sharks with big capital? Please enlighten us.
Thanks.

Q: DO YOU KNOW IF LIGHTSPEED IS UNDER AN INVESTIGATION FROM THE COMENTS THAT WERE MADE ABOUT THEM. AND AGAIN WITH LIGHTSPEED I KNOW THEIR QUARTERLY REPORT COMES OUT ON NOVEMBER 4, ANY NEWS ON HOW THEIR REPORT WOULD BE IF IT WILL BE POSITIVE LIKE LST ONE OR NEGATIVE. THKS AGAIN GUYS
Q: Any sense of how low they can go and does the current 30%+ decline reflect real issues with the company and their revenue reporting etc or just a lot of panic selling? It is painful to watch and wondering if they are likely to be topped out for an extended period of time.
