Q: Intel (INTC) has been performing really well recently, and I'm worried it's reached a high and might be worth selling, despite recent good news. It's about 3% of my overall portfolio, which has an already small amount of technology exposure. Specifically, what sort of upside do you think remains with INTC in the next 12 months?

Q: Hi team, would this be a good time to "double up" on OTC Open Text. The stock seems very cheap right now with quarterly numbers soon coming out. I have a full position right now in the stock with a well diversified 20 name portfolio. I'll be adding to the other existing names after in the near future and my risk tolerance is good when being overweight in good quality companies. I did this last year in CSU Constellation and it worked out great.

Q: I have owned Enghouse (ESL) for several months and while it has not shown any price growth I know that you are quite high on the stock. However, you seem to equally like Evertz (ET) for many of the same reasons you like ESL but given that ET pays a healthy dividend , I was wondering if I should switching from ESL to ET.
Looking forward to your insight.

Q: Hello Peter,
Below is an extract from S"E"D"I" showing an officer of Enghouse being short 20,000 shares of the company. He is long 30,000 options but it seems strange that an officer would actually sell his companies shares short. Not a big short position but still strange in my opinion. Any comment on the short position, and any thoughts on the merit of adding to an initial ESL position at this time. The other holdings in this area are AVO and CSU.
Many thanks.

Q: Peter and Team: I understand and agree with your decision to avoid target prices for stocks, but, having said that, I feel quite frustrated that I am unable to assess the risk-reward profile for a stock. I can only look at the chart and try to extrapolate.
Can you give me a sense of the risk-reward profile for two companies: Evertz Technologies (ET) and Sylogist (SYZ). Yahoo Finance shows 5-6 analysts covering Evertz. The low price target is $28 and the high target is $37. The stock is currently trading around $17. Are those realistic targets? Can you help me make sense of those targets (or provide one)? Yahoo shows no analyst coverage for SYZ. Can you give me a sense of its risk-reward, perhaps by comparing the two stocks? Thank you for continued great service.

Q: Two stocks I came across and bought by reading questions and answers on your 5i site were PTS and CHN. I asked 5i about PTS awhile back and your answer was it was a long term play. I should have asked what entry point you would go with because I paid a lot more money than what it is today. CHN is down more than it is up. Waiting for your reply.

Q: What do you think of Sandvine's earnings (SVC)? thanks
Q: "Vecima is a solid small cap tech company at 15 X earnings, with a very solid balance sheet. It looks fine.
Your reply to Dennis (14Jul14) indicates 15 X earnings. I assume this refers to P/E ratio. TMX Money website indicates a P/E of 7.50. Can you clarify if TMX is incorrect. Thanks

Q: Good morning, I would like your opinion on Sphere 3D and EXO U. They often are compared to one another on Bay Street. Sphere has had an unbelievable 12 month return but cynics believe ANY has not much and its a stock promote given management has done this before with BioSign and also promoted Orbite. On the other hand EXO which has had a nice move post announcing their new Board of Advisors and is run by the Montreal Hypertech family which is a very well respected billion $ private company. Please let me know your thoughts on both companies. Thank you
Q: Do you have a view on Redknee Solutions Inc (RKN)? This company has sometimes been compared with Constellation Software (CSU) so I am interested to know if it has the same potential as CSU. Thanks,

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
What are your thoughts on Sierra Wireless, SWIR. Seems they could be the go too company for the Internet of Things, similar to Cisco was with networks.

Q: A new company called slyce (slc-x) going to start trading on venture soon. There probably isn't much to go on from a numbers perspective and I certainly appreciate the risks involved with such a new unproven company but still curious about your thoughts on its imaging technology app and how you think it might be received by retailer community. Thank you.
Q: Hi Team..Peter - I do hope you are mending. I have sent in a contribution to your cancer ride and have my fingers crossed for you.
First question; I would like to increase my Info Tech holdings to be about 15% of my stock holdings. I own DH Corp, Enghouse, Constellation, Syologist and Avigilon all adding up to 11.6% of my entire 3 PFs (which have most of your 2 PFs stocks and a few extra. Any sugguestions for good growth over the next 2 years or so - small cap is OK! Or I can add to one of the above (which would you suggest?)My second question is I now have 38 holdings including some CBO CDZ ZRE and BYD.UN. Am I now too diversified??
thanks so much for all you do ...get better!

Q: Open Text dipped below $50. It seems likes its been under pressure for a few weeks as Info Tech in general is not doing much lately. Do you think the valuation is compelling right now?
Thanks,
Jason
