Investment Q&A

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

Q: I own CSU, DSG, ENGH, OTEX, SHOP, LSPD, KXS and STS and was thinking of adding GIB.A once the stock settles down a bit. I'm looking to increase my tech sector . Would you add to the existing holdings or would you recommend adding GIB.A to take advantage of the recent pullback?
Thanks for your service.

Q: I'm having trouble with the high valuations of some of today's star stocks. On top of that, and as illogical as it is, I have trouble investing in the these stocks after they have run so far. What 2 or 3 stocks are you guys watching at this time that are at beginning stages but have the potential to turn into stars like shopify
Thx

Q: Hi, using your analytical tool, it's telling me I'm still somewhat light on my tech sector. I hold a full position in CSU (and have done very well), and have half positions in OTEX and KXS (up reasonably well) and a quarter position in LSPD (flat).

What would you add to to bring my overall sector weighting up? I"m a middle of the road investor.

Thanks,
Robert

Q: Hi 5i,
I'm considering our 2020 TFSA contribution options and wonder whether we should add to our BAM holding (1.7%), OpenText (1.5%) or start a new position in Kinaxis? Our other Brookfield holdings (in registered accounts) include BEP (5%) and BIP (4%). Thanks for your advice.

Q: Recognizing the substantial market cap differences between the much larger csu and gib.a, vs the smaller otex and dsg , in what order would you rank the four in terms of the usual metrics used for tech growth companies . I currently hold gib.a and otex and am looking to either add to existing positions or add something new. If you have another growth company in this space , pleased to hear it and why.

Q: With the world feeling a little uneasy about a pending recession, I want to keep only holdings that will weather a downturn. I'm not trying to time the market, and want to hold stocks, that while they may dip, have good balance sheets, good management, and will likely see a recovery. Others I will sell and hold the cash. Above are my current holdings. Do you see any that may be susceptible to excessive weakness in a recession and would therefore meet my sell criterion? Thanks,
Kim

Q: OTEX reported a 0.1% constant currency organic growth rate for F19 implying revenues were basically flat because of a slowdown in Q4 license sales ex-acquisitions. Slowdowns in license sales should impact customer support revenues which is an important recurring source. Is this strictly a grow-by-acquisition game that can produce too many negative surprises and nasty stock corrections to bother with? If so, which TSX tech stocks would be a higher quality choice? Appreciate your service!
