Q: Both stocks down after earnings. How do the results look to you?

I find it odd that Amazon can earn $2.88 billion or $5.75 per share which is over 80% higher than estimates of $3.14 per share, but sales were $500 million lower then estimates ($56.6 billion vs $57.1 billion)... less then 1% miss... with concerns over high valuations in tech stocks, Amazon in particular trading at a high P/E ratio, to crush earnings and go down seems like an overeaction.

Q: I own NVDA, FB, BOX, AMZN and GOOG in my son's RESP and he is still in the green. Would you briefly comment on each stock's potential rebound and rate them? Thanks.

Q: I am a recent subscriber to your service, and I find it to be excellent. Thank you.

I am in the process of looking for a low risk US stock. Dividends are not necessary. I was considering IBM given its leadership in analytics. What is your view? Do you recommend other US stocks, with a 2-5 year time horizon?

Q: I've noticed that SHOP has consistently made lower lows and lower highs over the last 6 months. It's a high flier and I don't completely understand the company but do have it as a holding.
Is the revenue growth slowing? Is there any reason to be concerned?

Completely different stock but BNS has been consistently making lower lows and lower highs for the last year. Looking deeper at the chart, I see that the stock did nothing for 5 years from 2011 to 2016 (admittedly, comparing a peak to a trough) Canadian Banks have generally become accepted as a 'no brainer' investment based on the monopoly and returns over the last 30 years. Most industries seem to get disrupted over time, is it reasonable to expect Canadian Banks to have the same growth over the next 10/15/20 years?

Thanks!

Q: ATVI - Milan on October 15 questioned about ATVI and you said it was fine to buy. Also on October 15 there was an article that ATVI along with a joint venture with other companies were going to put 500 Veterans to work. Following that, over the next 2 days the stock dropped over 10%. Your thoughts on this drop.
TEAM - On October 19 John asked a question about the quarterly results, and you indicated you were fine with the results. Over the next 2 days, the stock dropped over 10%. How come?
Would I be better to sell ATVI and TEAM and add it to my holdings of ILMN and SQ? Thanks Dennis.

Q: Question 1 - TEAM has announced quarterly results and can you comment this.

Question 2 - There is reference to IFRS and Non IFRS financial information.
I find this confusing. On one basis the results appear good, on the other not so good. I feel more comfortable with the Non IFRS reporting. Can I discount discount/ignore the IFRS method or is this the wrong thing to do.
Appreciate your guidance.
John
