Investment Q&A

Q: Peter; Is the LSPD announcement re the SBA connection a big deal or just ho hum everyone can do it? Thanks.Rod

Q: Hi,

Can you suggest a few stocks which could give good returns over the next year or two.
I have majority of my portfolio in etf’s , just wanted to play with about 10% of my portfolio into something high risk/ high reward stocks.

Q: Hi,
I hold the above companies in my TFSA and would like to make the portfolio more concentrated for better upside potential. If you were forced to cut three positions and add the proceeds to any of the existing holdings, which one’s would you choose? Long term growth is the only objective.
Thanks

Q: I'm looking to reduce the overall amount of positions. Of my tech names which would you suggest selling?

From what I can gather you prefer NVDA to AMD and would suggest one of either SHOP or LSPD. Is this accurate? Other suggestions or ideas to pair down?

Thank you very much

Q: Hi.
The list of stocks make’s up my overall portfolio. Last month, during the sell off, my portfolio was down ~40% and started recovering slightly and lost steam again since late last week.
I don’t have any intentions to sell in the short term and I will prefer to hold for minimum the next 3-5 years.
Looking at the list of my holdings, do you feel there is any stock that should not be there?
Thanks,

Q: I own the following tech positions. I am at retirement age and don't anticipate a larger investment except by gains.
SHOP ~ 2.5%
LSPD ~3.5 %
KXS ~ 3 %
I have done very well with all of these and have sold down a good portion of shop for excellent gains. (Thank you.)
From my view of questions would switching SHOP to CRWD give a better balance or would you recommend a different mix.?
I thank you in advance.

Q: The management team has not changed, the company strategy has not changed and the company still has net cash to buy more POS companies to continue with their acquisition strategy. The only thing that has changed is people’s perception on what price they will pay for the price of owing LSPD shares. Am I missing anything?

Q: Article today about TouchBistro and Toast- sound like competitors to LSPD-
what is the competitive landscape for this - anyone the leader and anyone a likely
takeout?

Q: I know you guys like this stock, but two high volume days down has me wondering.
Thoughts pls.

Q: I picked up a full position in KXS at just the wrong time ($190) and am down 17%. I'm wondering about the wisdom of selling and and putting the money into SHOP or LSPD with an eye on a better rebound. I have a 5+ time frame. I know they are different industries I'm just looking within the bounds of the Technology sector.

Would you make the switch or hold on?

Q: Hi,
I generally prefer companies that have very little or no long term debt. It just gives me comfort of the ability for the company to survive massive drawdowns in the stock market.
Of the 4 companies listed, are any burdened with a high long term debt load?
Thanks ,

Q: Is something wrong with LSPD today.
It started last night after hours with the stock dropping.

Thanks

Q: Could you tell me the LSPD track record of their earnings and when they are reporting.
Thanks Joe

Q: I'm looking at the rebound in these tech and consumer discretionary stocks and wondering whether you have a preference for some of these companies over others. Could you please rank your favourites based on risk/reward to buy now, and would you recommend trading any to exchange for others? I have holdings in most.

Thanks for your thoughtful review.

Q: I hold below 13 technology stocks - it is about 30% of my portfolio. My target is to reduce it to 20% If I need to sell or reduce which one would you recommend to sell and in what order. Are all 13 stocks consider as technology.
