Investment Q&A

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

Q: Nexoptic received Notice of Allowance from the USPTO around June 29. As I understand, this means the USPTO intends to issue patent within 3 months (by Sept 30), subject to the filing fee and any blueprints necessary. Nexoptic's press release advise they expect to receive the patent in 4-8 weeks (meaning by August 31). This should quell questions "as to the robustness of its technology".
Other than your valid point of no sales at this point, is there a reason you can see that this significant event has not sparked greater interest by moving the share price and volume upwards?

Q: I would be grateful if you could advise me when NVDA will release its quarterly earnings. Also please provide the analysts'consensus with regard to the results.

Also, and this is probably off the wall, but in view of the apparent high value of NVDA and of the billions of dollars on the Microsoft, Apple, Google balance sheets, do you think NVDA could become a take-over target?

Thank you, Peter

Q: Would really like your view on Celestica going forward and where the company stands based on valuation among their peers. And is there another tech stock one might consider which has a decent balance sheet... long term holder here.

Q: I am interested in adding to my technology holdings and am considering CGI or Open Text. CGI seems a little less volatile but Open Text pays a dividend. Do you have a preference for one over the other at this time. Perhaps there is a different Company that you would prefer to either of these. I also wanted to ask if you had a preference for buying in Canada or the US?

Thank you as always.

Q: I'm helping my 65-year-old mother reallocate some funds (mostly diversifying and ditching debilitated oil stocks and mutual funds). Using about 3% of her funds, she would like to make a tech purchase (her first) for a long-term investment (5+ years) aiming at growth for this particular position. Following your recommendations, we are considering (a) Constellation (CSU), (b) Kinaxis (KXS) or (c) a mix of both. These are two great stocks and this is a nice moment to buy tech in general, but which of these three scenarios would be best right now?

Q: Hi 5i team,
You recently mentionned that you expect the downturn in the technology sector to be short lived, because it is one sector where investors can find growth, and that the down trend could/would/should be reversed when second quarter results start to be released. What companies (presumably in the USA) will start this release period in the technology sector and at what dates? Thank you, Eric
