Q: We have had 10,000 shares at an avg cost of .58 cents of Medmira sitting in our portfolio for years - assuming it was pretty much a dead duck In the last few days, however, it has sprung to life quacking with an announcement of now providing C19 testing kits . I've read the news info but cannot determine if this is just a flash in the pan and we should grab the money and run. Or, is there something really here that might be a business that can bring the share price up to or past our average cost. Would appreciate your experienced eye in looking at this situation and hearing what your thoughts might be.
Many thanks as always.

- Block Inc. Class A (SQ)
- Twilio Inc. Class A (TWLO)
- Veeva Systems Inc. Class A (VEEV)
- DocuSign Inc. (DOCU)
Q: Hi Team,
I am wanting to buy both VEEV and DOCU as both long term growth plays, and to play into their current momentum. I don't have any free cash right now, so have to trim from a couple other stocks to do this. I was considering trimming half of my SQ holdings to buy DOCU, and trimming half of my TWLO holdings to by VEEV. Do you see any issues with these moves? Also, being that VEEV and DOCU are in high momentum right now should I wait for a pullback or would it be OK to buy these at current levels? Also...do you see VEEV and DOCU holding up after this covid scare is gone, or do you see risk of these momentum stocks falling on their face once the virus scare diminishes? Thanks for your advice!
Shane.

Q: Any reason why Birchcliff's stock price dropped by around 12% Friday? I couldn't find any news to support this. Do you still consider Birchcliff to be a decent hold, subject to risks inherent in an energy sector that's in disarray?
Q: TFI just reported it's latest quarter. Could I get your comments please and how would you rate it, still at a B+ ? Thinking of averaging in to a small position over the next 3 months, thoughts on this plan?.....but always open a better suggestion. Primary objective is dividend growth with some capital appreciation. Thanks Ron
Q: Been following SUP for sometime & am puzzled ? What I know : NDG recently purchased 10% of shares for $1.27 M. Board members also recently added $ 705000 buying shares. None of this made much movement in the price. It has been moving up slowly for the past 3.5 months from $0.07 to $0.30. Then this Friday , it jumped $0.075 ( 23.8%) = $0.39 on a volume of 197657 shares ( barely nothing.) Question :the injected $ from NDG and the board members hardly made the stock move ? Are these preferred shares ? Question : Friday, I can assume maybe 50 people bought 4000 shares each at $0.35 = $1400 = total $70,000 and that made the stock jump 23.8 % . Do you see anything happening in this company ? Appreciate your input. Thanks.
Q: Hello,
I own shares of Clarke Inc. They recently spun out Terravest, which I know little about. Terravest seemed to be about half of the value of my original Clarke investment. Clarke a few years ago provided 2 large $2 per share dividends but has not paid any dividends since. I haven't looked into any details of the spinout, though Terravest has dropped about 10% since then. It is holding up better than the market. Can you give me further insights into these 2 positions and whether either are worth holding or adding to? Each represents about 1% of my portfolio. Use as many questions as needed. Thank you.

Q: Shop has become one of the top 3 companies in terms of market cap in Canada. Past companies such as BlackBerry, Valeant etc when they took the top stop their fall was epic. Do you think this time is different and investors are ready to have tech lead over banks? In the US we see tech as these trillion dollar companies but in Canada we still value to banks as the biggest companies. I think the tide might we changing.
