Q: Own a bunch of the 5i favourites outside of the above. Building up cash to deploy in a TFSA. Thoughts on these for the long run and buying today? I like the CDN names as you have reports on them and it give a bit more confidence in the name. I do own KXS and was wondering if there is overlap with DSG?

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: 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
