Investment Q&A

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

Q: Due to fortunate timing following some great advice (thanks 5I!!) combined with the recent market surge, we find ourselves overweight in Tech. With relatively equal weighting, which of these 7 companies (if any) would you consider selling? In what order?

Q: I am finding myself a bit on the heavy side lately in the "technology" sector, which has certainly not been a bad thing. My question is whether or not it warrants a bit of a higher weighting as the sector seams to be broadening so significantly with companies such as REAL, which services the real estate and insurance industry, being classed as Tech sector. With the spread of technology into all industries and aspects of our lives, there seems to be some discrepancies between companies that develop tech for use in an industry being classed as tech or the specific sector. Another example could be CAE which could be argued as transportation and healthcare to a degree but is classed Tech. I Understand that these are just titles and weightings can be a bit flexible. I realize this is a bit of a nebulous question but your comments, clarification are always much valued.

Secondly, I have some cash to deploy and other than technology, what other sector or sectors would you favour (other than to deploy based strictly on a perfectly balanced portfolio, sector wise) would you favour for the longer term at this point in history?

As always, thanks for the sage advise!

Q: Roku reports on Feb. 13 and it has beat estimates constantly since the 4th quarter of 2018 and so, I read some projections about what they are expected to report but a lot of those numbers don't mean a lot to me and so what I would like to know is it projected to have another good quarter?
GIB (CGI) Recently another member was asking whether this was a good buy with the pull back and you didn't seem too hot on it. BNN guest today also didn't seem too hot on it. What would be a good replacement for it? Thanks for your good service Dennis

Q: Hi, I'm currently holding these stocks for Tech (21% of portfolio):
SHOP,KXS,GIB.A,FB,GOOG, LSPD, CSU, XLNX

I've been looking at TEAM, TTD, AYX but haven't pulled the trigger. Would any of these overlap with my current holdings? Which one would you purchase to compliment my current holdings? I know its highly personal as well, but what would be your max sector allocation? I'm a long term growth investor. Thanks!

Q: I bought Roku a few months ago in my rrsp and resp and have lost money since. Do you still like this name? I don’t know whether to sell it now and take the loss or see how it goes when it report, although I’m worried about a big pullback of expectations are not met. I only want to own stocks that are going up and if they aren’t going up anymore, I get a strong feeling not to own them. Thanks.
