Q: Currently sitting on a 15% loss on ENGH. I only have a 3% position in MX and SJ. Sectors are not an issue. Would you recommend moving on now from ENGH and topping up both the others?

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.”

Q: Was wondering what you thought of Couche-Tard? Seems to be in the doldrums right now and a pretty high valuation - with Metro taking over Jean Coutu and owning 5.7% of ATD.B - they might sell this position to take on less debt for the acquisition - their sales per store in the US wasn't that great either - would you hold, sell or buy more on this dip?

Q: I noticed this month that with the exchange of ENGH for CG that it changed the tech sector allocation from 19% to 16% was this done to facilitate a sector rotation that seems to be underway or simply a function of one company with better prospects over another. I tend to complete the Balanced Portfolio and also have a number of your Income Portfolio stocks in my portfolio and was wondering if I should move my portfolio to that percentage in tech..as usual thank you for your great service...Eugene
