Q: Hello.
I have been looking for a Technology stock to enter. As per an earlier comment today, I too find prices high and given my own investor behaviour have not faired well with some of the high prices and volatility.

So looking at OTEX, would comment on some of the fundamentals. BMO shows P/e of 7.4 at current price. I have seen where you comment previously about positive position this Waterloo company finds themselves in the market. What may be expected of OTEX going forward if bought today?

If there is more you can add to buying high priced names and how to hang on through volatility, it would be great. The only way I can do this is to buy and sell on 5i actions.....which is somewhat inappropriate expectation to place on this service.

Always good responses.
Thanks
Dave

Q: Hi Peter et al
I’m overweight in the technology sector due to significant growth (20% of portfolio) and am thinking of trimming. I currently have ENGH, CSU, AAPL, NVDA and GOOG in fairly equal weighting. I’m not sure whether to sell one of these outright, or just trim one or two back. I’d appreciate your thoughts. With the proceeds, I am considering adding CGNX to my Industrials, which currently includes SIS, WSP and NFI. Do you think CGNX would be a good addition, or can you suggest another CDN or U.S. stock to add in this sector? Thanks so much!

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Jim Mackey Ex.V.P. at Blackberry quietly left the company in Feb. after 3.5 years on the job. What should we make of this? Is this a serious blow to the company or is Mr.Chen capable of attracting an equally talented person. I realize there could be numerous reasons... including his pessimism going forward. On the other hand he may be just burned out after working hard and doing a good job and wants a change. Have you heard anything. In other words should an investor be overly concerned and run for the exit...which is what some did today?
Thanks for your always valuable knowledge!

Q: Hi,

I previously owned MDA and sold for a small loss, but am increasingly interested in getting back in. My question is about MDA's ability/experience/success integrating take overs. I understand they took over another US company a number of years ago. Could you tell me how big that was ($$ terms) and how successful, in your opinion, they've been in integrating the company?

Thanks,

Cam
