Q: Hi Team,
I believe the short interest in Shopify is now about 4.77% of the US float. Do you have any guidance on when the short interest can become large enough that the stock could become the victim of a short attack? I also know that SHOP has a fair bit of cash on hand and no debt, which may help protect it. Any thoughts you have about how a short interest in SHOP, or more generally any company, might become debilitating for a stock's price would be appreciated.
Thank you, Michael

Q: Hello Peter, I have positions in several US stocks, including JPM, JNJ, ADM, GOOGL, MET, PG, KHC, GE and CISCO. I would like to add a solid US stock for a long-term hold. A few weeks ago, you mentioned a smaller company, Collectors Universe, as a investment idea. The dividend is excellent and it has a pretty good track record of share price gains. Do you still like this as a current buy, or would you prefer something like ITRI, EBIX, FLIR or CGNX (which you've also mentioned). I don't need the income, so my criterion would basically be the best longer-term, overall, risk-adjusted return. Thank you!
