Investment Q&A

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

Q: My ears perk up whenever you guys like a US growth stock, recent question about hypothetical growth portfolio included AYX, GH, ISRG, MMS, TER.

I am aware of your prior answers and why you like AYX, GH and ISRG and own 2 of the 3 for some nice gains.

So seeing MMS and TER I am wondering if you could give a quick reason as to why you chose those companies as I am not familiar and cannot see any prior questions on them. Thank you!

Q: I am thinking to add either SQ or LSPD for a 3-5 years holding in my TFSA account. Which one would you recommend? SQ is quite "expensive". Does LSPD still consider "expensive" with their recent drop in share price?

Thanks.

Q: I have done quite well holding momentum/growth stocks in the Nasdaq. However, the recent sector rotation into value stocks has hurt my portfolio quite seriously, while the overall Nasdaq was up. To avoid sectoral risk, would I be wise to invest part of my portfolio in general index funds, such as the Nasdaq ZQQ?

Thank you,

Walter

Q: At what point do you sell the stock or double up on your share count. The ‘fundamentals haven’t changed’,only peoples perception on its stock price has changed and I have a 5 year hold. I have contemplated waiting for another sharp drop and buy additional shares - like double my present position. OR I thought that if the stock hit the 200 day moving average I would sell. FYI - I bought the stock at $40 ish and sold at $80 ish. Bought again at $100 ish and sold at $150 ish. Finally I bought it again at $180 ish and still own the stock. Like all of us I have owned stocks that went up and down dramatically only to hold on to long, ie Valient.

Q: Palo Alto has identified Zscaler as their competition and ripped the company somewhat on an earnings call. The CEO of Zscaler fired back on CNBC with comments such as the below. My question is whether this is a buy with potential based on your knowledge and comments below. It has gone from nearly $90 to $51 in a few months despite seemingly doing well.

"Zscaler, which came public in the first half of 2018, offers cloud security software for IT professionals to monitor network traffic and protect data. The company surprised analyst estimates by turning a small profit in four straight quarters.

Revenue grew by more than 53% in its July quarter and is expected to near $90 million in the current quarter, according to FactSet.

“The market is coming to us. We’re seeing a lot of growth,” Chaudhry said. “We crossed 400 off the Global 2,000 companies as our customers, so [we are] very bullish about the opportunity.”
