Investment Q&A

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

Q: KXS is down $30 over the last 3 years and I am trying to understand why. The economy seems to need the solutions the company sells yet shareholder results are lacking. Are they asking to much for the product, are they losing sales, are they paying themselves to much or does the market just not have faith in the company?

Thank you for your thoughts on KXS.

Q: I was just about to give up on Sylogist because of its downward trend over the past 5 weeks in a strong market. Then I discovered that CFRA rates it a Strong Buy!! I know that their report is algorithm-generated, but still! I checked out other CFRA algorithm-generated reports for other small-cap Canadian tech stocks and couldn’t find another Strong Buy (lots of sells). I originally signed up for 5i Research because you cover small Canadian companies. SYZ never issues stock, so there's no analyst coverage. Only algorithms. So how much credence would you put on CFRA's algorithm? What is causing it to generate a Strong Buy for SYZ?

Q: Hello Peter,
If i wanted to buy an ETF in India, which one would i be better off with? or am I better to put equal amounts.. Also, I was hoping topicus would replicate csu performance over long term ( i know it has not been in existence for very long but i am under water on topicus). Should i just forget TOI, and LMN, and stick to csu. Much appreciated.

Q: Everyone, what is the rate of return for the large cap tech stocks vs the Nasdaq 100. For the large cap I would classify: AAPL, AMZN, GOOG, MSFT and NVDA ( you can add more to the list). Please use a time period that you have good stats for but or a 5 year or 10 year return period. I would like to know if it is worthwhile only investing in the big tech stocks overall. Clayton.

Q: If one were interested in short term trading, which of these two would be a better candidate today? I’ve done well buying and selling both - buying dips and selling pops. I am a little afraid of Nvda due to it being priced for perfection, although of course both have seen nice gains.

Happy Holidays to you and the 5i readers. Thanks as always for the great service;)

Q: Hi 5i, and would welcome your review of the recent Quarterly results from SentinelOne, and whether you would consider it as a buy/ hold/ or sell. Do you see any red flags or concerns with the future business prospects or in achieving their march to eventual profitability, and the merits as a long-term hold and any competitive advantage that they may hold in the cybersecurity space. Thanks kindly.

Q: Looking at Canadian technology stocks. I'm going to assume you figure CSU and SHOP are the mainstays here, so I would like to know how you would rate the following 10 other Cdn technology stocks on a scale of 1-10, for a long term hold, with 10 being a stock you would absolutely want to have in a portfolio and 1 being something of no interest at all. CLS, CTS, DCBO, DSG, GIB.A, KXS, NVEI, OTEX, TCS, VHI. I have included very small company VHI because their recent Q3 looked quite good to me. Also, if there are 1 or 2 that look like very compelling buys at this time, could you indicate which ones please. Thanks.
