Q: Hi 5i,
I really like your creation of DOCCKS through amalgamating those 6 Canadian names, and the comparative 5 yr history you've put together of some salient numbers.
I think it might be helpful to also see where the money comes from, and wonder if you would also be able to break down the geographical origin (percentagewise) of each company's revenue and, further, compare those results to the net profit, FCF etc resulting from each geographical source of revenue?
Thanks 5i,
Peter

Q: These three software tech stocks have grown their dividends over the last decade plus. I'm looking at them as part of a dividend/income portfolio. Are they a buy at this time? If so at what price? PEs are all rather high. Thanks

Q: I'm looking for some of your expert advice. I am down in OTEX which I own in a taxable account. It is currently yielding a decent dividend. I am thinking of selling it after the X dividend date for the capital loss, and perhaps buying GIB.A. The latter does not pay a dividend but the stock is performing better. Do you sanction both parts of this trade? Do you think the OTEX dividend will be safe in the future?
Thanks, as always, for your advice.

Q: If I wanted to buy stock in a Canadian software company with general information management services for business and a cyber security arm, is OTEX a buy given it’s being beaten down over its new acquisition. Or, are there better companies to consider in the current market? If there are, what are the better options in your view?

Q: I'm thinking the drop in OTEX price is making it look attractive. The current P/E of 24 looks reasonable for this company but I'm seeing a range of forward P/E of 14 to 55 for OTEX. Are you aware of any concerns over future earnings? Do you consider
CSU:CA as more attractive for a 5 year hold?

The companies are equally owned.
Your opinion is appreciated.

Q: Hi 5i,
I will use OTEX for my question but any interlisted company with US$ revenue will do say SHOP.
With the CDN$ raising how does this impact canadian share price? Is it possible that this represents a headwind? Wouldn't it be prudent now to journal/convert CDN shares into US shares. If CDN$ strengthens my canadian share values my decline if the company revenue is mostly US$. If CDN$ weakens that is ok I will make bigger profit if i convert back to CDN$. Am I correct?

Q: I have these tech companies in my TFSA. Can you tell me which companies you like and which you don't and why? Do you think I have too many Tech companies? I show a profit in all but KXS, CGY, NVEI. Thanks 5i.

Q: Hi team,
I currently have small positions in both OTEX and ENGH. I would like to add a position in either DSG or LSPD. Which do you think would be the better choice for a 3-5 year hold, looking for growth with some stability. If you could also provide the reasoning behind your choice and whether you would add to these at current levels or wait for a pull back I would appreciate it.

Regards,
Paula
