Q: Hi gang
What are your thoughts on Amarin today? Any news in the last month or two? It's quite interesting to me on a personal level but as a stock I am on hold for now but may dabble depending on your answer. I can handle some risk.
Thanks as always for all you do.

Q: Hi 5i,

Could you provide a short comparison of these 3 companies, how they overlap and differ?

If one has investments in SHOP and SQ would they "supersede" Lightspeed, or could they compliment? When does Lighspeed start trading?

From my preliminary research Lightspeed appears to be a combination of both SQ and SHOP where they provide POS payment systems with the ability to create a webstore (but seem more focused on brick and mortar vs. Shopify being more online)

Thank you!

Q: What is your opinion of this company? I feel like with social trends moving in the direction of "pets are more a part of the family" that people are willing to do what they can for their fur babies. Also with the trend of more meat and other live stock increasing in the diets around the world do you see this company as a good long term hold with the stock price increasing?
Thanks

Q: I have been looking at CVS in the last few days as a long term hold, the dividend is quite attractive. The share price has dropped to what looks like a 5 year low, the Forward PE is at 8.6. How would you evaluate the long term prospects of CVS? Could the large merger it has gone through make future dividend increases doubtful?
