Investment Q&A

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

Q: If you were me: fully weighted in technology, and had been watching SHOP for quite some time hoping for a pull back entry point, and having owned ENGH for several years, would you sell ENGH to buy SHOP, given that the pull back is "harsh" because of the short report, and that the valuation of ENGH is quite high (40X?). Or sell half and buy half? I am trying to get a sense of the opportunity to buy SHOP ... and not sure how short attacks work, in the short and long term. I know you have said that "shorts" don't give up easily or quickly.

Q: Hello Peter,
1. Your reply to a previous question on Stars Group was not very positive yet you indicated it was okay to step in. Please elaborate as the Russian market is a top market, "On the conf. call, TSGI indicated that new Russian banking rules may hinder growth there, one of its top markets. We would be OK stepping in with the decline.
2. Is it better to wait before adding to Shopify? I have about 4 percent position

Q: In late January Tim Cook came to Toronto for his first ever visit to Canada as Apple CEO to advocate for a focus on coding education for children. He also sat in the lower bowl of the ACC, not a box, to watch the Leafs in a very low key appearance. As part of his trip I understand he also visited the Shopify offices. Why would such a high profile individual make such an under the radar stop at 'Canada's tech darling'? Is there anything to read into here? Your thoughts please.

Q: I am hoping you may have some suggestions for dealing with this problem. One I might add your stellar advice has contributed to. Currently CSU is nudging over 10% of my portfolio and SHOP is edging over 6%. Clearly there is single company risk but were do I go to find similar excellent management and growth potential while reducing the risk.
Your assistance is as always very much appreciated.
Mike

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,
i. Apologies, but i need a clarification. Are Shopify's existing shares Class A? I was thinking of existing shares which have done well, but was wondering if I should wait before I add and what would be a good price to add?
ii. How long should one wait before pulling the plug on GUD? I only invested due to management, but the time frame seems a bit much for any upside here?
iii. Do you still like Covolan and is it good time to add?
iv. Please suggest which is better option: HMMJ , MJJ (the actively managed ETF) or CGOC (not in your list but if you know much about it please, Cannibis growth opportunity )
Thanks again and appreciate your input.

Q: Would you consider the SHOP has passed the best time of the business life cycle? Canada and U.S. Chicken Farm business, NAFTA and so on..... Just my thoughts about recent news about shop, looking back long enough, Canadian companies are just like chicken, and U.S banks and brokers are farmers. The farmers feed chicken then kill them later they want. BB, Nortel, VRX, CXR... It's another time two U.S firms joined NB feed the SHOP, last year they short SHOP, looked like they failed, now turn around to feed shop.. bet on later days/years, U.S hedge fund or brokers will "kill" the iconic Canadian company in E-com sector.
Thanks
