Q: With the many downgrades today, and the stock down sharply after earnings, is it a good time to pick some or should I wait ? I guess the stock will not do much until the next quarter results and while the valuation is cheap and you are positive, there still might be a considerable downside to the stock price in the near term. I would like to avoid buying after the stock price has rebounded. Never too easy but what would you suggest? The fluctuations are in the range of 4-5% which is significant if I can get a feel for the trend over the next two weeks or so.
Regards

Q: Hi 5i team,

Can you please provide some insights about Tucows which is one of the companies included in the 5i Growth Portfolio. I find very little coverage about the company even though it has been listed for quite many years. Do you consider this a value or growth play? What aspects of the business do you find attractive? What is your expected returns over the next 12 months? Thank you.

Q: I bought this etf a year ago. It is in my RRSP US account. The etf is up 7%. Should i sell and buy it back when it dips. It has 0.15% expense ratio. Can you treat these etf's like stocks, or should it be held long term. It keeps fluctuating, so I thought of cashing in. Is it a good strategy. Thank you

Q: Peter and Team:
I currently hold SYZ and OTC (each about 3%) in a sector balanced growth portfolio. What are your thoughts about adding or switching with GIB.A. Is it fair to say these represent small, mid and large cap companies in this sector, and how would you rate the three for a 5 year plus hold? Do "valuations" really have much meaning in comparisons like this?

Thank you as always for a great service.

Phil

Q: Hi Peter and team,

I'm considering adding to either CSU or ESL which are current holdings or purchasing GIB.A as a new holding. All things being equal in terms of portfolio allocation, which would you recommend, or is there another name you see as a better purchase in the technology space at this time.

Thanks

Q: I own SIO and SEV. I have owned SIGM in the past. All of these companies in my view are trying to cash in on the "next big thing". Are any of these companies real winners in this space or are there other companies that are worth buying.

Thanks.

Q: Howdy,

CDV looks like a quality small cap in an industry with a high barrier to entry. But top line growth has been flat as a pancake for the past seven years. What corporate developments lead you to think that revenue and earnings will accelerate materially at this point in the companies history?

Thanks.

Q: I've been watching this stock since last yr when it was $39.00 and was reluctant to buy because I am retired and usually buy only stocks that pay a div. & have a history of incr. same. I am sitting on a lot of cash & since I hold all the blue chip financials and a few oil stocks perhaps I should bite the bullet and buy CGI? Is it too expensive now? I have a separate USD portfolio and would not put more money in there as our $ is too low right now.

Q: Hello -- Am looking for a technology equity that has good growth over the past 1-3 years and is projected to continue on that path, with an associated dividend. Between the two mentioned, which would be the best choice for my TFSA. Also, it you think these are not worth considering, what would your recommendation within their current value? Thank you for your excellent coverage and support. Much appreciated. Jim Alsop
