Q: My hold the following Canadian tech stocks: CSU, KXS, LSPD, ENGH, SHOP, and TOI. Based on your continued support of NVEI and DSG, I would like to add them as well. However, I would like to ensure diversification and so wish to avoid companies that are similar to those which I already own. So my question is, would owning these 8 companies provide me with a diverse mix of Canadian tech stocks?

Q: Just sold DND today and looking to increase tech exposure as I'm now underweight techs and industrials. Currently own LSPD and ENGH. Please suggest 2 for each industry. No US exposure. Would you buy XQQ at this point?

Thank you

Q: As an owner of both the above companies, I wonder your thoughts of ENGH going after STC via acquisition for the UCaaS software, and spinning off the rest of the hardware and services side?

It's not their style, but I think value could be had for both here. ENGH could use debt to finance it, and use the proceeds of a spinoff to pay down / off debt.

Would a transaction like this make sense? I personally would love to see ENGH make larger buys given their cash generation.
UCaaS seems like a good opportunity to braoden for them.

Just trying to get both of these companies going again....

Q: Hi 5i Team: I am 8% weighting in Canadian tech with positions in LSPD and TOI. I am looking to add from DSG, ENGH, OTEX or KXS. In which order would you rank them for long term growth? Thank you for your continued excellent service.

Q: In my TFSA I am looking to move it to a more growth oriented stance. In keeping with this I have added ENGH and LSPD already. In what order would you sell the above (other than LSPD and ENGH)? I could sell off whole positions or just reduce the holdings either is fine. Any reasoning behind the ranking would be useful too.

Q: The landscape of tech stocks in Canada seems to be rapidly evolving, with several impressive IPO's of late, and some very strong growth stories emerging. In a well diversified portfolio, how would you rate the desirability of holding each of the following tech stocks on a scale of one to ten, with 10 being a must own, 1 being a definite "no", and 5 being something OK, but nothing special. 5+ year holding period.

CSU, CTS, DND, DSG, ENGH, KXS, LSPD, MAGT, NVEI, OTEX, TIXT, TOI

Q: I have owned ENGH for several years in a non-registered account. Sitting on significant capital gains. Would you endorse a portfolio change to sell ENGH in order to buy TIXT for a long-term hold. In other words, do you like TIXT enough to take a capital gains hit in order to buy it? The TIXT conference call was impressive.

Thanks.

Q: How would you rank the following companies (WELL, REAL, ENGH, TOI, FLGT, ABCL) in terms of potential growth over next 3-5 years ? Are they any that you would not be keen on? If so could you provide an alternative or two?

Q: Add to a sector and stock in the doghouse recently or pump it into one with some recent momentum. In my registered account, +5yr hold. I own both and just need to decide where to put some cash I have in the account and too samll of an amount to add a new name. I unfortunately added engh just before the tech selloff so am down almost 20%, ENB I added in the lows back in oct and has done really well with the sector rally and paying a silly yields as well. So add to ENB and hope the ride continues or top up ENGH a well run company in a beat up sector?
