Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello Peter and Team,

Cloudera just had another earnings beat quarter. Do you think that this may be a good buying opportunity, now that the buyout of Hortonworks appears to be integrated and the chart is starting to move in the right direction? Relative to other cloud companies, doesn't it seem inexpensive?

Thanks.

Brad

Q: Good Morning:
In a well diversified portfolio I have above "growth" stocks at 1.5-2.5% weighting in my TFSA. They've all performed the same either slightly down or flat and was wondering if you would add to, hold or sell any of these for long term hold.
Thanks For any advice.

Q: Hi 5i team,

Can you please comment on Tecsys recent quarter? It seems to be a good quarter ...but is it just a one of?
Their transition to a SaaS model looks to be paying off and results may be more consistent going forward wrt revenues and profit.
Reviewing some of the prior Q&A, you had been luke warm on this company based on missing quarterly expectations and slower growth vs other similar tech companies.
Looking at their Key Ratios (provided on your your site), they appear uninspiring. However I note a huge jump in Consensus EPS Estimates between FY20 and FY21...like sixfold, ie .06 to .36 cents. All based on 4 analysts with a strong buy - moderate buy tilt. Is the analysts expectation a little to rosy?

Based on their (positive) quarterly results, could one dip their toes into this now and start a half position? I also note they just increased their dividend as per the quarterly results. It has provided a very good return over 1, 3 and 5 years...but so have DSG and KXS (which I already own).

Cheers,
Steve

Q: I was thinking of putting $1,000 in 10 small caps before year end for total returns. My picks are Sangoma, Trican, Royal Nickel, Savaria, Aphria, Martello, The score, Questor, Photon and Well Health. I know you don’t give financial advice but is this a smart thing to do? Or would a big gain in one just offset all the potential losses? And are there any of these 10 companies you would not invest in and I know timeframe needs to be longer than a month! Lol

Q: Hello, I would like your opinion on Reitmans (RET.A). The stock is at its lowest level in 37 years. The latest results are not good and the competition is very strong, but on the other hand, the debt is not very high and the managers have a lot of experience. Is there any hope in your opinion? Are we trying to catch a falling knife? Thank you.

Q: Quarterhill has decided to discontinue their listing on the Nasdaq... they have indicated that this will save them about $1,000,000. annually.
Was the U.S. listing that beneficial to them and do you believe that this will affect their long term growth opportunities? Also, have you heard of any rumbling in the market place regarding their lawsuit with Apple?

Q: Hi 5i team,

Like many here, I follow the 5G theme, but there is a proliferation of participants in many facets of the technology. I own KEYS and am happy there. About a year ago, I put INSG on my watch lists. It has been dormant since then but now seems to be breaking out. I don’t see any real catalysts as such. It missed its last earnings report, but I have read some positive reviews on its 5G prospects for hot spots and SaaS. It is a smaller name and I am unlikely to buy it but I was curious as to your thoughts on it.

Thanks again for the insight.
