Q: The latter part of my question about SHOP wasn't addressed. Can you provide comments. What might be reasons for recent weakness in SHOP? As of Monday morning, it's down again more than the market decline. Is SHOP still rated high by 5i as a top pick? If not, what has changed?

Q: My tech stocks have had a great run and it's time to trim as they are now about 33% of my portfolio. Can you please rank the above stocks along with SMCI (watching for a pullback in that one). I also have GOOG and AMZN. Do you think they are too closely related as well?
Q: Where (price wise) do you see SHOP hitting the bottom of the current downward cycle it's in? What potential danger points does it face that might cause it to stumble more than it is now?

Q: How would you rank these four in terms of 1) current valuation 2) safety of invested funds (kind of related to current valuation I guess) 3) anticipated investment return over the next couple of years and overall quality of investment - ie. if you were to select only 1 or 2, in what order would you invest considering the overall quality/valuation of these companies? Thanks.
Q: SHOP Been a shareholder since it was $15.00 and as I understand Shopify focus is on personal clients, and although different from Amazon platform, which seems to conflict with Amazons over objective. I recently understand that Amazon "Jeff" has recently redeemed a large amount of shares. I am wondering if he is planning a takeover of Shopify. What are 5I thoughts on this and could it happen?
Q: Is it a good time to add ? At what price ? Thanks a lot.
Q: SHOP is really getting cleaned out today. How do you see the stock moving in the next few days. How serious is the lighter guidance they offered? Thinking of adding some to position. Are these good prices or best to wait to see where it goes first?
Q: Thanks for quick response to my earlier question on earnings. Can you add comments after the earnings call?
Q: How would you digest SHOP earnings? How did they do on key metrics? What do you see happening to stock going forward over the next 6 months and longer? Is the story still intact and moving in the right direction?
Q: Hi Peter and Team,
SHOP shows in their previous Quarterly release that they have grown free cash flow (good stuff!) but when I look at cash balances, I see they have a reduction in cash and equivalents with a simultaneous increase in "Loans and merchant advances, net."
I am trying to decipher if SHOP is:
1. Actually adding cash (key indicator of health)
2. Vendor financing their customers heavily which ended very badly for the likes of GE.
Is the quality of SHOP's financials showing some cracks here? It seems like this vendor financing theme is taking off in the "tech" stocks.

Q: This question concerns the technology sector in a well-diversified Canadian portfolio (~30 holdings), focused slightly toward growth.
The current technology holdings are CSU, SHOP, DSG and KXS. With the exception of KXS, the holdings are all positive. We are considering replacing KXS with LMN.
For a long term hold, which of KXS and LMN would you prefer and why?
Thank you,
Peter.

Q: My wife is thinking of selling a chunk of her SHOP and buying AMZN instead, mostly because she wants to own what she knows.
She asked for my opinion and I, in turn, ask for yours.

Q: You responded to an earlier question today about SHOP's decline today with: Yipitdata, a cloud-tracking service, noted it estimated that SHOP gross payments volume growth decelerated 'significantly' over the past week of reporting (to Jan 22). If volume did drop significantly, would this not be something 'significant'? I can see a slight drop that gets washed out over a longer time frame but a big drop all of a sudden isn't a good sign. What would cause a significant drop? Also, how reliable is Yipitdata? I guess what I'm asking is if SHOP is still looked on favourably by 5i? Is there anything to be overly concerned with?
