Q: What do you think of the current valuation of Mitel, its offer to purchase Shore Tel and its growth prospects over the next 3-5 years. Is it a buy with that frame in mind?

Thank you,
Marc

Q: Hi the GREAT Team,

Which of the following has the greatest growth potential in the short term (1 year): SWKS-Q, MU-Q, Or FB-Q.

All 3 seem to show a lot of insider selling. Is this cause for concern prior to upcoming earnings report release by each company? Which one do you recommend?

I have some US dollar to spend and I wonder if I should choose TRN, in the light of the drop yesterday,for the same kind of growth potential and far less volatility.

In tech stocks I already have shares of: CSU, DHX, AVO, BIDU, NXPI, DDD, AYA, FEYE,CMI,QIHU,PHO. I have fewer shares in industrial stocks: Boeing, TSLA, and Kelso,MX.

Thanks a million for putting me out of my misery in making this decision.

Q: Do you have any preferences/comments for the cybersecurity space looking at medium term growth (ie 5 to 10 years)? The leading names appear to be in the US (ie Intel, Cisco, IBM) and then there are the most recent names - PANW and FEY-Q.

thank you,
Janice

Q: Is there a way of telling just when that huge reversal of SYZ's fall happened? At one point very close to end of day it was showing down over 8%. Then suddenly it rocketed up to finish the day even. The weird thing is I was looking at it on my TD screen. I wasn't going to sell that low but it suddenly showed SYZ as being back up to 10.95. I sold some at that point, for this stock has gotten way too volatile for me, but when I checked it turned out I sold at the low of the day somehow.

Q: I note on Sept 24 the CEO moved 147k shares ($2.6M worth) to different accounts - including $540k worth to his RRSP. Is it safe to assume this was purely for tax reasons, and can we infer he thought the stock was finding a bottom at $18?
It's amazing that the company easily raised $100M at $29 just 6 months ago. At 1/2 that price it appears a compelling buy.
Thanks for your thoughts on the company.

Q: CIBC report-there are some very good & welcomed positives beyond the reduction of the TP fr $40 to $25.Rating is SECTOR OUTPERFORM.Sales force growth ends as focus turns to bottom line is the headline.It is on track to meet revenue target & any shortfall can be made up by a accretive acquisition(s)with the $150m cash in hand($3 per share).The material drop over the past week is primarily due to investors lowering earnings expectations as well as the negative headline news. As I write,it is trading @ $14(up 0.45.3.2%)

Q: Peter and team:
What do you think of xlk as a broad brush play on the technology sector? Is there a Canadian equivalent? (either Canadian companies or American companies in can. funds). Could you briefly touch on how etf's are handled vs. pure stocks @ tax time?

Thanks for such a great service!
