Anybody know what Motley Fool calls: Canada’s Answer to Amazon.com?It sells an “all-in-one” e-commerce software suite that allows just about anyone who can use a smartphone to build and manage their own online store…

The “Silver Bullet” clues are nonspecific so we can’t really name a stock based on that — the two comparators they use are Berkshire Hathaway’s acquisition of GEICO and the early investors in Coca Cola who became a legendary group of millionaires in a small town in northern Florida. I expect it’s a “blue chip” brand that is somewhat beaten down in stock terms at the moment and is also likely a holding and favorite of the Foolies, so my GUESS would be a stock like Disney or Nike… but that is just a guess, we don’t really have any clues to go on.

The “Canada’s answer to Amazon” one is a pitch I’ve covered before — that’s Shopify (SHOP), which I think has been recommended by both the Canadian and US “premium” newsletter arms of the Fool. I covered that most recently here.

I am long Disney as a long-term holding and do have some call options on Shopify.

Thanks Travis. I’m Canadian and had no idea Shopify was Canadian, will investigate!
