I currently hold KEYS and KXS at substantial gains, thanks to 5i, at about 7% of my portfolio. I would like to raise my technology allocation. I have held, gained and sold RPD and FDC previously. Would you go back to them at this point or consider a position in BOX. My $US exposure is about 13% of portfolio. Another option would be to iniatate positions in OTEX and/or DSG. My portfolio is well balanced. Any new positions would be in my TFSA. Please deduct as appropriate.
Thank you for your opinion. Regards
Q: Hello 5i,
How would you rank these "cloud kings" for growth over the next few years?
Do you have a preference of one or two over the others?
Thank you
Dave
Q: Abt
Excellent results by Absolute, new management is doing a great job.....and then the news of a big contract with a very large US schooldistrict.
Everything is lining up for a takeover here.....I am convinced that this will happen sooner than later.
Stadium Capital has a 15% stake and the new CEO sold a company to BlackBerry before.
Is there a chance that ABT comes back in your portfolio?
Q: I purchased bb last spring as a auto software play and also a China play with the entry into an agreement with a partner in China. Please give me your thoughts as to the validity of these reasons, and should I cash out at a 40% loss and move the money to another cdn. tech company like otex or any other suggestion you may have.
Cheers, Doug
With the recent positive earnings from Facebook and ServiceNow, would you recommend buying at this point? I'm also a long time holder of Visa (stock is down based on yesterdays results), would it also be a good idea to purchase MA at this time as well?
Back in May 2018 you answered a question about these 2 companies, CRM, NOW.
You preferred CRM at the time.
Based on their most recent financial results (released Jan 30/31) and forward guidance, do you still prefer CRM?
AMcCreath (BNN) indicated this am that several SaaS related companies seem to be firing on all cylinders....based on Q4 earnings at least. These 2 were mentioned.
What would be your top 5 SaaS companies, either US and/or Canada listed?
I do prefer investing in this revenue type model as it kinda guarantees 85%+ quarterly revenue....plus any new business clients.
I already own DSG as part of this thesis.
Q: Can you please give me your evaluation of Zendesk for 2 year hold. Are there any other companies you would recommend over ZEN in this sector. Thanks for your help.
I inherited all 5 of these positions in my US portfolio and looking to reduce to 3. i am leaning to NVDA, AVGO and QCOM but I know very little about MCHP. I am also concerned about letting go of TXN given their role in converting analog to digital signals. YOur thoughts. I am looking for a balance of growth and a stable dividend.
Cheers
Q: Hi team,
I did a fast calculation and my tech weighting is at 31%, broad etf's at 29% and the crumbs that are left over in energy, consumer dis. industrial, communication and health.
From the tech sector my highest weighing is SHOP at 5.04% all the way down to PHO at 1.88%
Although CYBR.B is an etf, I lump it in the tech sector. If you had to remove one or two to lessen the weighting which stock would you sell. I really like all those stocks but I am also aware need to up the other sectors.
Q: Comments please on CLS earnings and your opinion going forward. I currently hold the in my US account, do you prefer others or would you stay the course?
Q: BSM announced so-so eps and revs but seems to be making progress migrating from a hardware- to a software/analytics-centric value proposition (which should also improve margins.) Your take?
Q: Further to my earlier question about CGI's latest results. PRNewswire and RBC Direct Investing show revenue of $2.96 billion which matched estimates of $2.94-2.97. The only 'down' value was the slight drop in 'cash for operating activities' whatever that is. I still don't understand the drop in its share price.
