Q: You just answered a question for Doris on the relative merits of CGI and Enghouse. You were quite definite in your opinion on the superior quality of ESL management, but you lost me after that. The wording of your answer implied that a large backlog for ESL was not a good thing to have. More importantly however, on valuation, I am getting much higher P/E values and much lower Growth/P/E values for ESL from my usual financial information source.
Am I misunderstanding your answer, or is your valuation based on parameters that I have not considered?

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team,

I currently own SGY. Because of the decrease in the stock price my position is only about 2.5% (down from 5%). Do you recommend keeping this stock, putting more into it or selling it and buying another stock from your Growth portfolio? Like BOS, DRT, or TC?

Thanks for all your help!

Best wishes,
Terri.

Q: Hi,

Any good reason why BCI keeps dropping in price? I'm up 40% and wonder if I should sell?
Do you still recommend XTC as a slightly risky growth stock, even with it's recent increase?
Although the two companies couldn't be more different, I can only own one risky small cap, and of the two, which would you prefer for the next two years?

Q: Hello Peter & Co,
It was a brutal day for materials and energy,
I'm glad that my holdings in the Materials sector (5.7% of portfolio) consist of Chemtrade, Interfor (for US housing) and Stella Jones.
I wonder if I should further reduce my Energy holdings (4.4%) consisting of Tourmaline, Vermillion and Whitecap or get out completely; ditto for Energy Infra/Midstream (9.3%) consisting of Altagas, Enbridge, Inter Pipe, Keyera and Pembina.
Thanks for your input.
Antoine

Q: An earlier Q&A made me wonder whether I should get into my margin, to make more money! I have 8 years of secure employment until I can retire and currently have no debts. What stocks do you suggest for good growth potential without taking on a high amount of risk?
PS. Thanks to 5I, I am actually making money in the market!

Q: What do you think of PTS? I purchased it about 8 months ago and it's down 11% since then. It's down by >50% since early 2014. I'm trying to decide whether I should bail or not. It has a decent enough forward PE and seems to be in a good business niche but it continues to disappoint.
