Q: Please comment on earnings and the details of the call, particularly any updates on the slack acquisition. Regards greg

Q: I am trying to asses the forward prospects for Asana including any prospects which might result from the US reopening successfully. Do you expect Asana will benefit from this event or do you think that has already been discounted. Look forward to your response.

Q: I've been watching TOI for a while. Would you agree that this seems like a good time to enter for a 5ish year hold? A full position for me is 5%. What would you suggest for weight? Thanks!

Q: In the past few weeks, I've read a lot of negative articles and opinions about Palantir characterizing it as being a ''shareholder-unfriendly company that carries too many risks'' and I just wanted to ask your thoughts on the matter. Issue #1 that comes up a lot these days is about the excessive stock-based compensation program, which has been eating all the profits in recent quarters. #2 It appears that there is A LOT of selling from the company’s insiders and was wondering if it was worrisome. Thank you!

Q: I am up about 95% on ABST and was thinking of buying more.
Do you think the upward trend will continue/plateau or start to decline?
Thank you.

Q: Help with Business 101 please. It seems counter intuitive that Nvidia is altering their chips so they’re less desirable for mining crypto currency? I understand crypto is a volatile market and Nvidia previously got caught with too much supply. But overall if 2 customers are willing to pay the same for a product, why would the company show a preference towards one buyer over another?
Also, regarding the chip shortage, I thought Nvidia produced chips but it sounds like they’ll be caught up in the shortage. What type of companies will benefit from the chip shortage if any? Thank you for providing this valuable service!

Q: On May 10 in response to a question about ranking semis you said that QCOM is mostly a “royalty play” so may be “safer” than the others. I don’t know what you mean by this.
I have been rather frustrated by this stock, watching it go sideways or down in recent months whilst NVDA has performed much better. Would you encourage me to hang in there for a while vs sell for a loss and up my NVDA?

Q: Hi! Can you please share your thoughts on the Nvidia earnings report, and the 4 for 1 stock split they are proposing? Thx.

Q: Hi folks...Sangoma trading like it is going to zero..now in "Oversold" territory on technicals at $3sh level...big volume on Tues by TD & Cormack...the Q results imo, were not bad, and irrelevant with acquisition of Star2Star. Any thoughts on company & integration of business going forward..& would you be adding to position at these levels...merci beaucoup, jb Piedmont QC

Q: Thoughts on this company, given the ongoing price drop since February 2021?

Q: Hi, Topicus released excellent results, 3 weeks ago and stock touched an all time high of $94.80. However, since then it has been in a continuous downtrend and as of today, lost 20% of its value from the peak. Stock's decline over this period has been relentless and rather systematic. Specially for past 1 week, stock can not seem to hold its open and close lower, every single day, no matter what the rest of technology sector is doing.

Volume, though, has been low, which could imply that sellers are not institutions, rather some retail investors booking their profit, from the free shares received or bought cheaper, during initial listing days.

Your recent comments have also been consistent with this observation and you have expressed your comfort with buying/adding at current levels for long term. So we have done and we hope (with Constellation Software's incredible history, in mind) to do well over next several years.

However, the price action of the stock has been weak and frustrating, to say the least.

It would be really helpful, if you could share any further thoughts or insight.

Thank You

Q: When does the deal close? By when do you think better bids could appear?

Thanks
Mark

Q: Is it a good time to buy any of these growth e commerce companies as prices have come off and may have high growth rates in the future. If so which would be the best one to buy from a risk reward perspective.
