Investment Q&A

Q: I would love to see a 5i indepth report on SHOPify to fully understand different aspects. This company seems to be growing great guns. It is now over 8% of my portfolio and I am tempted to let it run. My rationale being that this is a company which is doing e-business for thousands of other companies in different sectors. In that sense it is a well diversified entity in itself (or so I convince myself). What are your thoughts?

Q: Bill was asking about CXI. Technically, something to note is that on the weekly chart, the price is above its rising long-term moving average (200 weeks moving average). Also notice that in January 2016, the price also tested this moving average and 8 months later, was up 50%. If draw-down worries you, you could consider buying half your positions closer to the long-term trend-line. Hope that helps.

Q: CXI has hit a 52 week low.What factors are causing this?What would you do with this stock? Thank you. Anne

Q: I'm sure you have questions about what's up with CXI. Any thoughts? Would you buy more today?

Q: CXI has been continuely drifting lower even after received its long awaited schedule one bank license. Please give reasons for the poor stock performance and recommend buy/sell/hold for a 2 years holder at $35.30 average cost (3% of my portfolio holding). Thank you.
Bill.

Q: Scotia Mcleod posted this Methanex (MX) – Shareholder M&G Investment Management, which has a 19.5% stake in MX, changed its shareholder
status to 13D from 13G (passive). Per FactSet StreetAccount, M&G believes MX’s excess cash flow should be solely directed
toward share buybacks until the share price appreciates beyond the replacement cost of MX’s assets. Further, M&G has
become repeatedly frustrated with the market valuation of the company, which M&G believes does not reflect MX’s intrinsic
value.

Q: I would appreciate your comments about the press release issued today by PLI concerning a new financing agreement. It looks to me like a sensible and encouraging development. Thank you, Peter

Q: I always thought a company's Earnings per share should be higher or at least cover the their Dividend per share. However, FSZ's EPS appears to be around $0.35 and the DPS is now $0.68. What gives?

Q: I find it difficult to understand I5s and Motely Fool Canada favorable views on Couche Tard. With more fuel efficient and battery powered vehicles, the demand for fuel should be reduced over the long term. Fuel sales is about 40 % of Couche Tard's revenue. Why are you enthusiastic about the stock? What am I missing?

Q: I am considering investing in Alimentation Couche Tard and, as always, would appreciate your input.

Motley Fool Canada highly esteems Couche Tard, their thesis being that the convenience store space is highly fragmented and that Couche Tard, as the biggest player and with skilled management, can capitalise on this situation. They seem to think that the stock price will dramaticaly increase in ten years or so, because of this. Would you see this as a reasonable thesis?

I noticed in your responses that at first you seemed a little concerned about the recent drop in price because of the miss because of lower gasoline prices. But, if i am not mistaken, you later on seem to think that this is not a big problem and will be rectified. Is that a reasonable description of your views?

thanks very much and as always, we appreciate your great service
