Q: Good Afternoon
I hold BAM, Bank of Nova Scotia, Leon’s, GDI and Lightspeed. I have held these stock for years and each position makes up about 1-2 % of my portfolio. I am looking for a bit more torque. Can you suggest a consolidation candidate or perhaps one of Shop, Descartes , Doo or one you prefer better. Thank you

Q: Re: Kinaxis KXS and Descartes DSG: I have owned these two Canadian tech stocks for getting onto a decade and have done well with both. My question: at their current valuations are they still a buy? KXS is up 21% this year and DSG 16%. They both have an RSI of 61, high but not crazy high. Thanks for your thoughts!

Q: Hi 5i and Peter,
In a show down between DSG and TRI which company would you pick for the largest overall return for the next 5 - 10 years. I like both companies and having a tough time deciding. The past 5 years their CAGR share price (including TRI's dividend) has been DSG - 22.6% and TRI - 24.3%.
