Q: Hi 5iTeam - I was checking Insider holdings for Kinaxis and noticed a net selling total of $64 1/2 million. The CEO increased his holdings in the summer but the CFO's holdings have steadily declined. Other officers hold close to 0 shares and the holdings of the directors are low. First of all is this information accurate and secondly is it a concern. In summary what is the overall insider holding of Kinaxis.
This question does not include options. Thank you.

Q: Hi team,

With 22 tech stocks weighting some 34% of my portfolio, I assume you would recommend that I rationalize my approach for a better diversification, both in my tech sector and in my portfolio as a whole.

To accomplish that, while keeping a strong growth approach, could you indicate which are, in your view, 1) the « must own » stocks, in order of importance 2) those which could be dropped because of « double emploi » or high risk, 3) those missing to properly cover the tech sector ?

Please feel free to use as many credits as you see fit.

Gratefully yours,

Jacques IDS

Q: Hi 5iR team,

Piggybacking on a question asked on Nov 10 about their recent quarterly results.
Do you have any concerns over yet another financing from DND? (the financing release came out Nov 11 after the question was asked).
They just completed one in Sept for $50 mil and now another one for $175 mil. I assume this is targeted for future acquisitions....but never assume. ;)
I do like the cloud space and they are targeted for 60+% growth next quarter so that appears attractive.
I did initiate a 1/4 position @ $21.75 and plan to do so each quarter if the Q looks good...and if it is still on your 'good' list.

Cheers,
SteveMc

Q: Hi,

I hold a 2.5% position in NVDA after selling half to lock in my original costs. I'd like to pick up another high growth chip maker/developer/fabricator, and the listed companies are on my watch list. Ideally the company would have a great balance sheet (net cash), a pipeline of great products and great opportunity for growth - no dividend needed. Can you endorse one or two and/or recommend something not on the list?

Q: Hi 5iR Team,
Ok, this is a three horse race between KXS, ENGH and GIB. 5iR what do you think the bookies odds are on these horses as they approach the gate. Is one is a dark horse? Will they go neck and neck down to the wire, a photo finish? Perhaps one of them just can't go the distance while another hits their stride? In other words 5iR how do you see the race going and which horse would you bet on to win or is it an each way bet (bet on all three) ? Thanks 5iR Cheers

Q: I have to add US tech exposure (missed the boat) and only 4 percent which translates to $350,000. I already have 60 holding (total portfolio) which is already high but I’m ok with it given the size of my portfolio. Which would you pick? Should I just buy all 4 at 1 percent holding increasing to 64 holdings or pick just 1 or 2?

Q: I try to buy best in breed companies or leaders in each sector/industry with the goal of holding for the long term. With the current sell off in high growth tech stocks my buy price alerts in the above companies are starting to get triggered. During times when we get a market sell off or sector rotation, as we may be getting over the next few days or weeks, I like to only buy one or 2 positions per day in order to keep some powder dry if the sell offs continue. If I don't hold positions in any can you rank in order of what you would buy first to last and please feel free to add other companies to this list you feel are good buys. Thanks for all your help.

Q: Hello 5i team,
I have become interested in buying a small position in this company. It missed expectations this quarter and dropped to $94 but seems to be quickly regaining its momentum. What is your opinion of this company for a long term hold? Does it have a lot of debt?
Thank you for your help,
Jane
