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: Hello, I have in my growth-oriented TFSA the following stocks: DSG, NVEI,OTEX, KXS,DOL. I don’t intend to add to any of these, except possibly KXS. I will have funds available in January to add another stock. 1) Do you still believe in KXS enough that it would make sense to top it up? 2) Can you give me your 5 best ideas in growth names (any sector) with a short explanation for each? Ideally names that are not as volatile as NVEI… Thanks!

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.

Q: Hi 5i,
In an otherwise balanced portfolio, I'm looking for some ideas for my TFSA.
Current holdings are KXS, LULU, HPS AND ATS.

I'm open to adding to the above names but was wondering if you
could you please recommend 10 Canadian and 10 US stocks that you feel would work well in a TFSA at this time in the market.

Thanks!!

Q: I have seen several analysts commenting recently on how undervalued small cap stocks are compared to larger cap stocks. Some saying we are at the cheapest levels they have ever seen for small caps. If you were to put together a portfolio of 10-12 Canadian small cap stocks intending to benefit from a return to more typical valuations, which stocks would you include? Not thinking about highest risk types, like early phase biotech, exploration stage mining companies, but rather, for high quality, profitable, growing businesses.

Can you confirm this thank you

Q: Out of these 4, what two would you sell today and why (I know they are very different)? If you could include a comment on valuation please do.

Also, how does that answer change if we were to enter a recession?

Q: I'm late to the party with TCS, CTS and SYZ. I don't own any of them and wonder if they still have "legs" or have they had their runs. Looking for other small Canadian Tech you find interesting.
