Investment Q&A

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

Q: Dear 5i
I`ve read a few times that you`ve mentioned EBIX as one of your favourite US stocks . I`ve looked at it in some detail and agree that it looks impressive . My only concern is its debt level and a relatively high short position. Do these metrics concern you at all ?
I`m considering FLIR and GRMN as well and was wondering if you could rate these three stocks best to worst .
Thanks

Q: Peter, I'm interested in some US and/or international exposure to cyber-security companies. I'm aware of the HACK ETF, but believe that it's had some internal business issues (not sure if that makes a difference from my standpoint). Would you suggest HACK as the best/simplest way to get a diversified exposure to that sector? Do you prefer another ETF for this purpose. Or, given the 0.6% MER, perhaps splitting the investment money between, say, three individual companies would be a preferred course. Please advise, and if the latter option is what you would do, please suggest the three companies.

Q: Hi
I have a 7% position in CSU. Given its size now and past run up, would you suggest switching to smaller cap companies like Open Text or Kinaxis or continue to hang on?
I feel like there would be more growth opportunity in these two smaller companies.
Or would you have any other suggestions other than these three in the same space.
Thanks
Jeff

Q: Hi team,

Just wanted to ask what you think about the earning release yesterday. Do you think ESLT still has the torque for a similar growth in the future as it has been enjoyed in the past or would it go sideways for while. The stock is down about 8% from its high of 153$. Would you suggest something better?
Have a wonderful day while trying to help us all out!

Q: Hi 5i,
My NVDA has doubled since buying ealier this year (thanks!). Do you think I should sell half to buy some INTC now that they are getting into the GPU market as well? (I also hold TXN, PHO in the chip space and many other tech names so am quite diversified). I am just wondering if INTC might have better growth rates than NVDA or if NVDA is a bit priced to perfection right now.

Thanks!

Q: What is your opinion on QYLD for US tech exposure. Management fee is a .60% with a 7.4% yield. I know I'm capping the upside with the covered calls but if there is such a thing as a " Sleep at night " stock in the " tech " sector. Would this be one ? Also for a one stop shop for the rest of the US would VIG be a good choice or do you have another preference ?

Q: I own Apple, Amazon, Facebook and Google plus others. The four stocks have done extremely well for me. I have reviewed the charts for each stock and they go from bottom left to top right; the 200 day moving average looks great, the stocks touch the line and then moves higher; the top line and eps are getting better all the time; they are all spending significantly on RD for the next AI or AR or self driving cars or whatever; and they are dominate in their respective industries to name a few comments.
What gets in their way to make them stumble? Is this or these event(s) soon?

I can’t see a reason to sell or trim.

Thanks as always.

Clayton.
