Q: Hi 5i team,

There hasn’t been a question on DOCU in many months. I know it is expensive on many metrics but that is the same with many tech stocks. Even in the past two weeks, with the market turmoil over the coronavirus, I have noticed that DOCU keeps making new highs. As you know, DOCU’s core product is the ability to sign all business, legal and real estate documents electronically. There is no need to meet with another human being, be in the same room with them and breathe their air. We can all just live in a bubble. I know I am going over the top here, but what are your current thoughts on DOCU? I have not seen any recent news. It is also one I follow for its takeover prospects by a big tech company.

Thanks again.
Dave

Q: Own a bunch of the 5i favourites outside of the above. Building up cash to deploy in a TFSA. Thoughts on these for the long run and buying today? I like the CDN names as you have reports on them and it give a bit more confidence in the name. I do own KXS and was wondering if there is overlap with DSG?

Q: The vanguard ETFs make up 13% of my portfolio. In the tech space I own PNG & LSPD.
A little bit overweight in both due to increase in value . If I were to buy another tech stock which would you suggest. My portfolio contains mostly dividend stocks with some Growth. My biggest risk would be if interest rates were to rise.

Q: A few years ago, I had some losses on several semiconductor companies, foundries and equipment suppliers to the industry. Since then I have more than made up. I VAGUELY recall a financial analyst saying one should not buy chip companies when they have low P/E.... that one should only buy when they look expensive. Does this heuristic make sense to you ? If yes , does the suggestion apply to all cyclicals or just some sectors?
BUT how does one actually apply the ‘rule’ , in other words:
What specific ratios should one use, including inter alia :
Trailing P/E
Forward P/E
PEG
It seems counter-intuitive and migraine-provoking to *intentionally* buy expensive and later intentionally to sell cheap.
I am interested in YOUR thoughts.

Q: Hi 5i, Since early October volume on ABT has diminished considerably. The share price has moved up nicely but on low volume compared to historical levels. Do you know any reason why volume would be lower as the company seems to be putting up solid results the past few quarters.

Q: Hi guys
From what i have been reading (Tony Siba) next year is the tipping point for purely economic reasons, it won't make any sense economically to buy a gasoline powered vehicle. From his point of view Batteries are going to be a huge disruptive technology in the future in both, transportation and energy (natural gas) as they become cheaper, and much more powerful.
Have you guys been looking for any investment opportunities in this sector.?
Thanks Gord

Q: Hello Iam looking for your thoughts on QTRH. I have owned this in my TSFA for sometime now currently at a loss. From todays value I would need a double to break even, I am happy to sit and collect the dividend as this account is long term but do you think this company can get moving again or should I sell and put the proceeds into say ATD.B or PLC or?? Thanks

Q: Hi, I am looking to deploy some US dollars I have in cash. My thinking is to focus on US tech - in particular the software, internet and semiconductor industries. Could you recommend names in each industry you feel would be a good choice, considering solid companies with growth prospects that could be held longer term?
Thank you for all your hard work!
