Q: Happy Thanksgiving to all. With investors selling on fear, gains, and some perhaps even losses do you think that SHOP will drop more? I'm thinking of selling and buying back Lower down the road maybe within 30 days. Yes...I know this would be "trading", but I'm willing to gamble a bit (in a RRIF at a 66% gain).I do have SHOP in my TFSA at an 18% loss as well. Both equal only 2.5%
Thank you as always.

Q: SHOP has had a very high valuation for the longest time on every metrics using comparables with similar stocks.
Even though the short sellers thesis is wrong, would a report like this make the stock correct naturally to a more reasonable valuation?
Meaning, maybe the real value of SHOP should be $100CAN instead of the present $130 and this report will be an EXCUSE to correct the price of SHOP and lower its NEW valuation for once and for all?
Is this what is happening right before our eyes?
Thanks

Shopify responds to short-seller, ‘vigorously’ defends business model
Ian Vandaelle, Chase Producer, BNN

Shopify has responded to allegations levelled against the company by short-seller Andrew Left of Citron Research.

In a statement released early Thursday, Shopify defended its business model, which Left said relies on pitching a “get rich quick scheme” comparable to Herbalife.
“We vigorously defend our business model and stand resolutely behind our mission and the success of our merchants,” Shopify said in the press release.

“Shopify has always strived to take the path that leads to more entrepreneurs by designing its platform to remove the technical, operational, and financial barriers to enable anyone, anywhere, to build, grow, and scale a business.”
