Q: Hi 5i team,

I know there are a lot of SHOP followers here. Late last week SHOP announced a partnership with PINS and introduced a new App which allows SHOP merchants to upload their catalogues to PINS. The deal is likely of little consequence for SHOP, but it should help PINS. I assume this would attract advertisers back to PINS if a broader range of products is now available. I thought PINS would have gotten a boost from the announcement. Are you still relatively positive on PINS? It seems to me it could be a nice acquisition for SHOP or one of the big guns.

Thanks again.

Q: Can you confirm my understanding of what is happening: Deflationary pressures based on lockdowns/economic slowdowns due to COVID-19 and Inflationary pressures based on bond purchases/stimulus from central banks around the world.

If this is relatively (and simplistically) correct, do we have a belief on which pressure will win out over time?

Q: I heard what I thought was a very interesting interview with Tudor Jones today. It is here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9VpVf3g9Y0

My question to you is do you agree with his point of view? Would you think it wise for me to follow along and include it at 2% of my portfolio? That would be around $230,000. If yes what is the easiest and safest way for me to buy it? If no, why not?

Thanks

Q: Can you please comment on DKNG. It has done very well since the new year and hasn't suffered over these last few months. I know one should be buying good companies that are going up rather than supposed bargains that are falling but have I missed the boat on DKNG.. There don't seem to be any comments on 5i about draftkings.

Q: Some people have been inquiring as to where to park cash. Do you have any information about the Manitoba Credit Unions? I have recently inquired and have found that deposits in a high interest savings account are guaranteed under the "Deposit Guarantee Corporation of Manitoba" for an unlimited amount, paying 2%. Has anyone used one of them and did you like them? I also put this out in the forums. I would like to hear of someone that has opened an annount, and if they were satisfied.
Thanks for any help

Q: I am looking to purchase another REIT or two for my TFSA. I currently own AP.UN. I have been following the discussion about car.un and dir.un as two of your favourite reits. My question is; do you think that they are currently overvalued compared to bpy.un which morningstar indicates is undervalued by 53%. would you not buy bpy.un? any other suggestions are greatly appreciated
thanks
