Q: hi, it may be in a previous answer, if so please, humour me. I am wondering why the forward EPS estimates have come down so much for SHOP? was there a fundamental issue that occurred, did they issue new shares? I thought SHOP was still in big growth mode. also, depending on where you look, research companies investing media etc, they all seem to have different values for the EPS, both trailing and forward? could you provide your numbers for these please. thanks, chris

Q: What are the best types of stocks to include in TFSA for long term hold (15-20yrs) with medium risk tolerance? Growth only or growth + income? Have heard that dividend stocks in TFSA can be good as income can compound over time tax free but if the growth outperformes the dividend yield would that not be better? Also could you include your top 10 Canadian picks right now for allocation in TFSA (sector doesn't matter)? Thanks

Q: We'd all love to get a look at a few stock prices from 5 years in the future. Get a big winner, or avoid a big loser, with no risk. If you could get a list of the prices of 10 Canadian stocks 5 years from now, which ones would you pick? Let's say stocks with a min market cap of roughly $1 billion Cdn.

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

In my basket of TECH, I have many losers that you have been high on(not your fault).

I have regretted selling "losers" that recovered sharply and sat on some that the opportunity cost turned out to high.

Are there any in the list above that the risk/reward of hanging on justifies not selling to top up positions in SHOP,TOI and/or CRWD that are also down.

Which order would you sell from the sell list and which order would you buy from the 3 buys

Thanks for all you do

Q: Can you explain the SHOP price disparity on the US and CAD exchanges that occurred recently? Reference your answer to a member question yesterday 'SHOP had an unusual spike close on Friday and was up $122. Today it is down $110 and still up over two days. On the TSX where there was no spike the stock is down $20 only today.'

Q: Hello Peter et al,

You have mentioned in the past that Amazon needs Shop or it runs into monopoly problems and that Shop has a strong moat.

When I look at the size difference Amazon has 14x the market cap and 1500x the employees.

When I look at stock price Amazon has been a steady climber with a minimal hit over the past 6 months vs Shop being more than halved in mkt cap.

If I were CEO of Amazon reviewing the co. dashboards and heatmaps - I think I would look at the Shopify roadmap and see either noise or an opportunity we could setup for and pre-empt (if that business is on our roadmap).

How scalable is Shop given that Amazon has a long track record, the most money and supply chains to the best strategic minds?
How sustainable is the Shop competitive advantage?

I ask this wondering how likely Shop is to regain the lofty $2000 level.

Thank you for sharing your insight.

Q: Hi 5i: I am considering getting back into some Canadian tech stocks. I would be pleased if you would provide me with your three best picks. A combination of cash on the balance sheet and moderate growth would be the criteria. I am a long term investor. Thank you always for providing great insights on investment decisions.

Q: Hi,
I'm looking for 5 or so US companies who will recover very quickly once we hit bottom. My plan is to do a little gambling and buy long term calls.
