Investment Q&A

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

Q: When trying to find the next stock with great returns like, Shopify or Beyond Meat what or where should one look.
I'm guessing something disruptive with greater than 30% revenue growth.
I have been cruising news articles and used stock screeners and haven't found anything recently. I'm guessing that a vegan fast food restaurant chain would take off similar to Chipotle and Noodle Co. did years ago.
Any companies or thoughts?

Q: As per the Prospectus from August 14th, "Closing of the Offering is expected to take place on or about August 22, 2019, or such earlier or later date as we, the Selling Shareholders and the Underwriters may agree, but in any event no later than September 15, 2019 (the “Closing Date”)."
If not a recipient of this offering, is there a way to monitor the activity over that above time frame?

Q: So, the goons over at Motley Fool Canada having been hyping up a recent Canadian tech IPO, with the usual comparisons to Amazon, Netflix and Shopify.

Travis over at Stock Gumshoe speculates that they're talking about LightSpeed POS (in this blog https://www.stockgumshoe.com/reviews/stock-advisor-canada/whats-the-shopify-2-0-teased-by-motley-fool-canada/), a company I was already familiar with thanks to your growth portfolio.

I'm was wondering if I could get your take on this enormous hype - obviously this is Motley's bread and butter, but since you just issued a report on Lightspeed back in June I'm curious.

Q: Hi 5i
Considering the current price of secondary offering of lspd having been set at $35...how do you view the upcoming end of the insider share lockout period and it’s potential negative effect on share price sentiment?
I’m considering the potential combined impact of these two events.
Would you be buyers at this time? If so what price would you consider reasonable entry for 2 -3 year hold.
Thx

Q: Hi, Does the market price movement following the announcement of secondary issues, influence the determination of offering price, or companies usually base it on the closing price at the time of the NR ? LSPD closed at $47.75 before the issue was announced and has dropped to $40 in 2 days. The issue is still open at many brokerages. Any comments/insight, please. Thanks

Q: i bave large positions in both companies.
gsy is cheap, beats earnings every quarter, increase their dividend, return on equity approaching 30% , target increased to 85, yet does not seem to get much love.
lspd is a momentum stock increasing revenue by huge amounts, everyone loves the company, no earnings.
i know completely different companies but why such a discrepancy. is it because gsy is a subprime lender.
