Q: Hi, Could you please comment on the Light Speed results and outlook for next year. Lots of cash and no debt. But, company is still incurring large losses (which is not necessary a negative, with long runway of growth) Also, CC was at 5PM. If you acessed, any further details to add. Based on these results, do you feel comfortbale to start a new position or increase 1% position to 2-3%, at current levels? Thanks

Q: I'm currently looking to start a new position and am looking for a company with the potential to add a bit of torque potential to the portfolio. Would LSPD fit the bill as far as a Canadian listing, and are there any US companies that you believe might also provide fit the bill? This is a fairly risk tolerant position.
Thank you

Q: Hi All at 5i! I had purchased GC and TSGI for my kids TFSAs. Now with all the reports of money laundering, where are these stocks headed and would I be better off selling them and investing in LSPD’s potential instead? Thanks, Tamara

Q: Hello I am wondering what has been moving this stock lately I cannot find anything? What your thoughts are on this company future growth? New Canadian tech darling? I look at this company as a cross between Square and Shopify, would that be an accurate comparison in your opinion ? When do they report their first Q? Take as many credits as needed. Thanks as always

Q: Hi, several analysts started coverage of Lightspeed, yesterday with most price targets in the range of $25-$26 and Buy/Outperform ratings. Thank you for your analysis, in advance, during past 3 weeks. I have taken a small 1% position. The 1st set of earnings is not expected until May. Do you feel comfortable to build up the holding to 2% at current price, or it's prudent to wait until results ? Thanks

Q: I was going to use the proceeds of the sale on KWH.UN and purchase SBC. (Brompton Split Banc).
Is SBC more risky than KWH? How would you rate SBC? Is
now a time to buy into LSPD as it seems to have settled down after the IPO?

Q: Hello,

Lyft and Uber will be going public soon, would you recommend purchasing shares after the IPO? Growth has been great for both companies but obviously they are losing a lot of money as they grow.

What is the general strategy for IPOs ie. Lightspeed POS? Should you typically wait for first qtr results before you buy? I considered stocks like FB, MongoDB and could have done quite well. Also I believe that employees have to hold shares for at least 6 mths (not sure of exact timeframe) before they sell so wondering if that would have an impact when insiders with a considerable number of shares are allowed to sell.

Thanks,
Neeraj
