Q: In possible answer to Bruce's question about why Shopify and Lightspeed are down heavily today, there was an article on the Motley Fool today which said that anyone buying these stocks was gambling, not investing, as they were both ridiculously overpriced and subject to huge risk.

Q: You have always said that LSPD is very expensive and more risky than other stocks.
Also that it trades at 15X sales
For the last 3 years, haven't you said the same with SHOP which has gone from $50 to over $500 in 3 years time? Shouldn't we ignore them being expensive and just buy them? Of course, in a downturn, they will be hit the hardest.

Q: With the world feeling a little uneasy about a pending recession, I want to keep only holdings that will weather a downturn. I'm not trying to time the market, and want to hold stocks, that while they may dip, have good balance sheets, good management, and will likely see a recovery. Others I will sell and hold the cash. Above are my current holdings. Do you see any that may be susceptible to excessive weakness in a recession and would therefore meet my sell criterion? Thanks,
Kim

Q: Hello 5i,
I need to increase the following: ABBVIE, CCL, AQN. ENB. LSPD. and TCL. Some like LSPD I hold as a satellite as I am mostly a value investor but will take advantage of your suggestions on a good growth opportunity but smaller scale than my value equities. Please list the above in the order that I would slowly increase these holdings by $2,000 at a time.
thank you

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.
