Q: Thanks for your answer on Shopify. Another question: is it too late to jump in? Does it have a competitive advantage?
Is the growth there? Is next year's forward p/e reasonable?
I seem to always jump in at the top. Can't figure out how they can compete with Amazon who dominates the market.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

I am willing to build a portfolio comparable to 5i Balanced Equity Portfolio over the next year / year and a half. Can you please group holding into three or four groups so I will retain diversify throughout? Can you put them in order of which group should be owned first?

CCL and CSU are quite expensive. Can you suggest a substitute with equivalent merits?

Which is it better to have this portfolio in a registered or non-registered account?

Thanks for the great service.

Q: hi 5i

Patience has been rewarded and I now am up 25% on Trevali ($1.35). I see a few price targets at the current price. Do you think there is further gains to come?

Also could you list a few potential tax loss buys from each portfolio?

Q: Your thoughts on recent Investor Day conference with PLI that they have 12 mos of cash and do you think this selling off of the stock is not just a retracement but due to shareholder dilution that a stock offering by PLI is probable. Is this correction and over reaction. I am I missing something such as the market expected more out of the company in this conference and not getting it, caused the sell off. Thank you
