Q: Hi. Can I have your opinion on Instructure (NYSE: INST), a US educational software company? I could not find any question on that company in the database. It provides cloud-based Learning Management Software (LMS) to institutions to administer and deliver online courses, track learning outcomes, teacher-student interactions, etc. They also a product targeted to corporations for training employees and developing skills. The stock seems to be performing very well. It is on my watch list and I am intrigued by it because I am a big user of LMS at my University. Thank you.

Q: Dear 5i
I`ve read a few times that you`ve mentioned EBIX as one of your favourite US stocks . I`ve looked at it in some detail and agree that it looks impressive . My only concern is its debt level and a relatively high short position. Do these metrics concern you at all ?
I`m considering FLIR and GRMN as well and was wondering if you could rate these three stocks best to worst .
Thanks
Bill C.

Q: Hello 5i,
I sold off NVDA when valuations exploded and didn’t like all the hype around the stock.
I’m guessing with SQ mentioning crypto-currency the stock will pop today. If anyone can make sense of crypto it’s probably Dorsey with his calm approach to building businesses (I’m still gettting my head around hash 256!)
Even with Dorsey as bench strength for Square should I sell some of this one off and top up ICHR where I’m down about 20%? Or sell ICHR and consolidate my SQ position? Both positions are held in a sheltered account.
Many thanks,
Ps great job yesterday Ryan! I really appreciate your frank approach to investing- it’s great that you don’t pull any punches - so refreshing.

Q: Hi team,
I have about a 5% position in SQ (my full is about 7% or so). I watched the earnings closely. They were good. The stock wavered a bit, held and is now moving higher. Yesterday, SQ announced they were accepting bitcoin as a payment option for certain customers. I have not jumped on the bitcoin bandwagon but have not dismissed it either. Is this an indication, albeit a small one, that bitcoin may be starting to go mainstream. Would you add to SQ here?
Thanks again
dave
