Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: VQS jumped after that Alta Fox report a few months ago, but has fallen back a little. Do you like VQS now that it has come down a little, and do you see it as a stock that has long-term potential to out perform (or do you like some other small/mid cap companies better e.g. SYZ)

Q: Both Sierra and Aura have excellent financials but seem evenly matched on their current “race to the bottom” vis-a-vis their stock price. Would your recommendation be to:
A) sit back and take Aura’s occasional dividend payout
B) sell
C) buy more should the decline finally hit bottom?
Thanks for your perspective.

Q: Big bounce today on no news! (?) I've owned this since joining 5i. It has gone in and out of market favour but I've always enjoyed the dividend. I've been picking up dividend stocks for the last year and done well but I am not expecting a lot of growth from them from here. SYZ should get some decent growth and the yield is healthy. I like the SaaS field and this being tied to government work - which seems a way to get some beta away from the market business cycle. Does it really fit this bill? Yield makes me patient how do you see it over all?

TIA

Q: The genome space seems to have taken a hit and I'd like to add some to my portfolio. Can you give me 3 to 5 Canadian or US stocks going forward that you believe have the highest potential of gains( I realise this would also be subject to the most risk) for a 5 plus year hold.

Also 3 to 5 stocks from Canada or US that you feel should be held for long term exposure.

Thank you.

Q: When looking at growth vs value or tech vs more cyclical stocks, we have seen stocks like GH go from $181 to 99, Coupa from $377 to 208 or Acuity Ads go from $26 to $8 while the DOW hits all time highs. My question is what do you expect would happen to this type of small, growth company when a correction comes? Have they been punished enough that they are buffered or even so an inflow of capital in a rotation or would they likely be punished even more severely due to (still) high valuations? As a part 2 to this question, what would be your five favourite growth stocks that have been beaten up and would you start positions in them today or wait for further declines?
Thanks!

Q: This company just reported, seems to be a sizeable miss on revenues, how much was the miss on earnings? Their customer base continues to expand, along with their continually growing product offering. Is today's sell-off a good entry point, or should this company be considered too high risk, too volatile?
Thank you as always...
