Investment Q&A

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

Q: Maxim Integrated ( MXIM.us) :
I have a small position in MXIM. Some shares were left over 9 years ago from a sell order that was only filled partially. The holding represents just 0.25% of the portfolio. I suppose I should therefore either sell MXIM , or buy more. I could also leave well enough alone.
I would appreciate your thoughts whenever you have time.
Thank you. Best wishes
Adam

Q: I am mystified by the "buy" rating accorded this stock by several respectable stock rating services. Does your perception of their data give you a similar perception?

Q: Hello 5i,

Do you have a few biometric companies you like for growth in the sector? After reading this article, I would like to keep my eye on a few with some good potential. Cdn or US stock, either will do. Thanks for the excellent service. Gerald

Q: As far as I can determine, Slyce (V.SLC) is the only visual search pure play in which one can invest. As a public company it can raise funds to develop further and really extend its lead on the competition and become the 'go to' player in that industry niche.

Looking thru SEDI and recent news releases, I calculate the holdings of management, officers and directors at 7.2m shares - this includes the shares given to owners of the two recent acquisitions, BuyCode and Drivetrain. There are also three entities deemed insiders which own a total of 11.2m shares - i.e. BIG, BBG and Salida.

This brings total insider holdings to 18.4m shares out of 106.2 issued, or 17.2%

Q: Hello 5i,
I'd like to get your take on Sandvine Corp. Their technoloigy is intriging and I could see sector growing in the future. Last quarter was weak but it seemed to be more related to contract timing and they have since signed a few new deals, and they've got a ton of cash on the balance sheet. Is this stock a good buy right now for 1-2 year time frame?

Q: I'd like to add a Cdn and US tech growth company for a 3-5 year time frame. I own ESL and SYZ. How would you rank OTC, MDA, DSG, CSU, MNW, and ET in terms of potential return? In my US portfolio I own QCOM and GOOG. Other than MU, which you have mentioned before, can you recommend 1-2 other US growth names?

Q: Could you please interpret the comments made on the recent results release. It sounds as though there will be little improvement in the share price over the next year, if I am understanding their comments correctly ? If so, it would seem to make sense to sell my shares (1.5% of a diversified portfolio) now and re-invest in something with more potential for growth in the coming year. Is there another company in this sector that you would recommend ?
