Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: In their recent press release shorting SHOP, Citron says they will donate $200k to the Robin Hood Foundation if the stock is higher one year from today. (Google search says there is a charitable Robin Hood Foundation)

Although the Citron downgrade of SHOP is not new the placing of a bet on the outcome is new - at least to me. Assuming it is legal, have you ever seen this done before? Does Citron actually pay the money if they are wrong? Is this a material amount to Citron or just the cost of doing business to them? If this is for real, should I diarize March 2020 to note that another short attack on SHOP will be forthcoming if Citron is indeed wrong and need to cover their butts?

Appreciate yoru insight.

Q: On March 15 Shopify had a huge surge up to 5,849,405 shares traded. For 30 days around this date the shares traded ranged between a guess of about 300,000 and 400,000. I am curious about the 15th. was this institutional buying. I also wonder why such a huge buy did not seem to effect the market price.
Trying to understand these things, Thank you for your insight every day.

Q: I currently own Shopify in a non-registered account, with significant gains. Thank you for this recommendation. Do you think it is going to continue with its gains and if so, would it make sense to move it to my TFSA? I will eventually have to take the tax hit on the gains, regardless. I have room in my TFSA to buy it back with the gains that I have made. Thanks
