Q: I have 3.5% if funds specifically earmarked for the technology sector after recently selling a position in OTEX. I am debating between taking a 3.5% position in CSU or splitting the funds and taking two smaller positions in STC and PHO. My portfolio consists mainly of larger market cap, lower volatility investments, so I feel I have some flexibility towards taking on a position in growth companies. That being said, I believe that CSU is best-in-class for its sector (particularly if limiting the field to TSX-traded companies). I would appreciate your insight. Thanks so much!

Q: I have been recently reading more about the SolarWinds hack and the desperate need for beefing up cyber security. I know CrowdStrike is one of your favourites and you have brought up the potential Arctic Wolf IPO. Just wondering if any other companies are interesting in the cyber security space.

Thanks for your great service.

Q: I know the orphan stock. Been burnt many times with this company. But now what do you think of their Esim technology which is touted as being huge to replace the traditional SIM cards?
For phones for cars, etc. The stock has moved up nicely but I always seem to get into this company at the right time it starts to go down again. They use to have lots of cash. Do they still?

Q: Hi team,
I currently have small positions in both OTEX and ENGH. I would like to add a position in either DSG or LSPD. Which do you think would be the better choice for a 3-5 year hold, looking for growth with some stability. If you could also provide the reasoning behind your choice and whether you would add to these at current levels or wait for a pull back I would appreciate it.

Regards,
Paula

Q: I have held Cisco for 5 years -up about 50% plus dividends. I am thinking about exiting it for a more interesting stable growth story in the hardware/software business. Qcom is one idea but would appreciate any other ideas or should i just hold on to Cisco for any future growth and the dividend?
thanks

Q: Hello, your thoughts on participating in this IPO? Does their management and technology compare well to their competitors? In this sector, I only own XBC and have done very well, so I'd like to add another. Would this be a worthy addition for a quick pop or long-term hold? This would be less then 5% of my portfolio and I have a high risk tolerance. If not, what sector picks would you suggest. Much thx.

Q: Seems bewildering to choose among so many types of Tech stocks. Looking for 3 names...would CRM, ADBE or any others you would suggest be worthy at today’s values or should I just run to the SMH ETF? Help and thanks!

Q: Of 6 Wall St. analysts following Palantir 3 have a rare "Sell" on it with 2 Holds average sell PT ~ $17. I know the 5i take on price targets yet last Nov. Peter H. said this stock, then at 17 could be 25 one year out, yet here we are at $36. There's been good news flow on this lately but how much upside could there possibly be and why are these pessimistic analysts down on it?

Q: I have difficulty to understand the purpose of the spin off. Both companies are chasing for the same type of companies to continue their growth. How are they going to proceed when there is a target ? They will probably have 2 acquisitions teams working in tandem ? Which companies are going in the CSU portfolio and then in the topicus portfolio ... Thanks

Q: Your thoughts on one of these 4 companies for a long term hold over 5 years. Tecsys showed the highest 5 years return among the 4. Do you think that it still has a long way up?
Any other companies in similar fields that you would prefer over these 4 names.
Thank you!

Q: According to the portfolio analyzer, I need to reduce my tech. These are the companies I own (I'm not entirely sure WELL belongs on this list). Where should I start with reducing? Probably 2-3 names, or a partial disposition of a few. I'm up on all. Thanks!
