Investment Q&A

Q: I am trying to understand these 2 stocks in your portfolios.
We have DOO which is growing at 20-25% , future earnings expected around $4.40/year with a forward PE of 15.
On the other hand, we have DSG growing the same but with a forward PE of 80 and future earnings expected around $.80/year.

Why is DOO not valued like DSG and/or vice versa?
Why does DSG have a ridiculous multiple of DOO?
Every Q DSG does .11 and the stock price is $60!!

Remember, they are both growing at 20-25% / year.
Does DSG merit such valuation just because they are in tech?
Really doesn't make sense to me.
Thanks

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 want to start a new position in one of the above for a TFSA. Which has the best growth prospect?
Thanks

Q: Closely follow your balanced portfolio Have money to put in tfsa. I am a little light in these stocks.
Which of these do you like best for growth in the next few years.
Are there other options in that portfolio that you are expecting to show good growth? T as always steve

Q: I am assuming that a company with lots of cash can withstand a major pullback better that a company carrying a lot of debt. could you give me 5 or 6 companies any sector with lots of cash that could withstand a market correction with less impact to their share value?.

thanks Dave

Q: I currently have a full position in CSU plus half positions in KXS, ENGH and HXQ. I note that on several equations you have recommended DSG as a core holding. My question is, if I buy DSG will I get diversification from my other tech holdings?

Q: I have no positions in any of the companies highlighted. I do want to add 3 of the 4 companies to my diversified growth portfolio over the next 30 day's.
Which 3 and why?
Thank you

Q: Hi 5i Team:
I have a healthy appetite for risk looking at a 5+ year timeline and want to start a new half weight position in one of these two in my RRSP. Which would you give the nod to for best capital appreciation going forward given the current market & their valuations.
Thanks in advance,
Greg.

Q: What would be your best recommendations for investing new funds in TFSA, irrespective of sector?

Q: I had a good year with Enghouse and am considering selling and moving to Descartes.

Thoughts please?

Q: Happy New Year. What do you expect from bad and gil in the coming year? Are you ok with starting a position in bam and dsg today or would you wait for a pullback? T Steve

Q: Which of the three do you prefer for a long term hold? Can you justify changing from one to the other?

Q: low debt- 4 -9 percent dividend that do the right thing for their share holders quality payout ratio ,growing dividend with moat qualities ,hve people in leadership that show qualities like Johnathon goodman, fromgud also Brookfield is opportunistic and buys real estate at good prices please give me your companies5-10 companies that come to mind for long holds.

Q: A while back I asked about selling ENGH and replacing it with DSG, because I like to follow your lead in the portfolios. You recommended I keep ENG as they are similar, and I'm glad you made that recommendation because the company had a very good quarter/year. In another answer to a member you indicated that ENG may level off now because most of the share response was due to the low expectations by analysts and the surprise. Now I'm wondering if I should sell half of my ENG and buy DSG with the proceeds, giving me two reasonable positions. Diversification. I know this is somewhat like splitting hairs, but you must have a good sense of DSG future growth, or you would not have it in the portfolio. Again, thank you for recommending I not sell ENG last time, even though their good results could not have been predicted. And if you still recommend I keep the one position I'd be happy to do so. Thanks for all you do. And have a well earned holiday. Cheers

Q: comments please on the quarter?

Q: Could you please advise what analysts are expecting regarding Descarte's earnings release after markets close today.

Thank you, Peter

Thanks,

Q: I currently owned these 3 stocks and would like to know if adding to them to bring them each up to a 3% weight would be good?I am currently in a loss position for both MX and GUD?
