Q: Hi 5i team,
I own MSFT and am following a potential TikTok deal. You mentioned in an answer that you think the odds of a deal are now lower, but anything is possible. That does not sound like high odds. Is that because Trump is looking for a payment to the Treasury for what he views as brokering a deal. Is this legal or does it matter with him? Or are there other reasons for lower odds. How would you place the odds at this point? It seems to have been awhile since MSFT was active in the M&A space.
Thanks again.
Dave

I have read the news on July 28, regarding for the QNX operating system (OS), seem like the new trend will have auto pilot in furture and it said: "The global autonomous vehicle market is expected to reach nearly $600 billion by 2026."

Q: I see the last question asked on this equity was in 2017; I assume things have progressed since then. I have two questions - do you have any insight into the efficacy of this technology, are there competing interests etc.? I have read the adv literature; it sounds promising and they appear to quote legitimate sources - but maybe that is the art of promotion - and .... your site refers the reader to Creating Alpha whose value is not known to me. Do you have an opinion on this service, and of course on this equity? Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i Team - I have held Shopify in two accounts for several years now and although I have sold much of it over the past couple of years at a substantial profit (thanks to your advice) there is still some left which it seems becomes more significant each passing month. I find myself, however, unable to describe it's business with any degree of confidence to other people. Could you provide me with a simple description of exactly what it does in plain terns that I could relate to others.
Who are Shopify's customers and clients - do these terms mean the same thing - and how many are there. Do they have other relationships with large corporations beside Amazon and what exactly is that relationship with Amazon. I feel I should have an understanding of all of this but it very limited.
Thank you.

Q: I own the following 6 tech names (ROP is technically an industrial but fast moving into software) in my RRSP, each at about 2% weighting. I am thinking of gradually adding one or two FANG names to round this up. I am looking at MSFT and/or GOOG. If these makes a good complement, do you consider one or the other a better buy today?

Q: Hello,
I am down in my TFSA by average 25% ( MX, RVX, CERV, CHEM, OVV, POW,CHR). I am up with EMA by 25%. I was thinking of selling EMA and buy some growth companies for a 5 year outlook. Is it good to get into LSPD, REAL, KXS and DCBO at this time.
Thanks
