Could someone like Amazon take it over? Take some money off the table if you've held this for a while. He sold some shares a year ago, but continues to blaze higher. But its valuation is in nosebleed territory. He doubts that the lead shareholder will allow SHOP to be sold. Amazon is a candidate, possibly, but he doesn't feel it will happen.
POW vs. PWF POW has better liquidity so institutional investors prefer it. For growth, though, these are plays on life insurance. The PWF yield is over 6% and tantalizing. They likely won't cut the dividend, but probably will pause dividend growth. There are better stocks in asset management or insurance. He wouldn't buy either for capital appreciation.

Facing a 20% loss. Sell? It's missed earnings in 5 of the last 7 quarters, and it's exposed to the consumer discretionary space, which is vulnerable in a downturn. Also, it's vulnerable to Amazon. Their chart is making lower highs and lows as the TSX is moving the opposite direction. It isn't cheap, trading at 2.4x book value vs. 1.7x historic average. Also, past major downturns fell 60%.
Their partnership with Google and Mastercard He's followed this many years and once owned it. Their partnership with Google is excellent; Google is number three in the cloud space. This partnership may accelerate OTEX's organic growth which has traditionally been tepid and done through acqusitions. This trades at 14x earnings when the software space is much higher. He likes OTEX.
