Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I know it’s a good problem to have but my listed tech stocks have done really well thanks in part to recommendations from 5i. So much so that I now have 41% in the tech sector. Since selling my mutual funds and establishing my own portfolio, your guidance and suggestions have been so much appreciated. It seems that other sectors may be the place to be as we come out of the pandemic. The issue is that these are for the most part proven quality stocks. I’m not keen on selling any of these. Does one bite the bullet and sell some ? If so suggestions are appreciated? Or does one just trim profit and migrate into other sectors and buy more of companies like DOO GSY and WELL? Thanks

Q: Hi there
When you took ENGH out of model portfolio I bought OTEX which has outperformed it by quite a bit in the last 3 years. I still really like ENGH too and it has come off quite a bit lately. I am wondering looking out another 3 years which you would prefer, in terms of current valuation and prospects, if you could just buy one of these stocks. And your rationale.

Much thanks

Stuart

Q: I hold the above companies in my TFSA and they represent my Tech holdings. I am getting a little overweight in my tech sector and am wondering if any of my holdings are in essence duplications. If so could you recommend which ones to sell.
I have a list of buys, including CAE, TFII, XBC, GOOS, and would redeploy the capital plus some of my cash to these positions. Of my potential buys in what order would you see as the best opportunities.

Q: Engh had a news release today -
"Videoconferencing solutions provider sees 1349% pandemic-led surge in mobile usage, WebRTC implementation and brings on veteran SVP"
The VIDYO segment was noted as a driver of earnings in their last Q, my question then could this news imply the coming Q numbers will continue to rise based on this area of growth? Is this a buy signal?

1> I currently own a 5% position in LSPD and 2% position in KXS, ENGH SHOP. and QSR . which one(s) would you sell now as a vaccine will emerge soon? and which one(s) keep long term.
2> Could you provide 3-4 names of Value stocks that pay a dividend, and that will benefit when the economy re-opens. And, will benefit from inflation.
Thanks for your great service

Q: Hi 5iR Team,
Ok, this is a three horse race between KXS, ENGH and GIB. 5iR what do you think the bookies odds are on these horses as they approach the gate. Is one is a dark horse? Will they go neck and neck down to the wire, a photo finish? Perhaps one of them just can't go the distance while another hits their stride? In other words 5iR how do you see the race going and which horse would you bet on to win or is it an each way bet (bet on all three) ? Thanks 5iR Cheers

Q: I recall 5i stating in 2020 that DSG, KXS and PHO, all have no debt and significant cash reserves. Can you recommend 3 other good Canadian and 3 American growth stocks in a similar position.
Thanks you.

Q: I have held these companies for about a year and have basically broken even. Being retired now and partly relying on dividend income, would it be a good move to sell these 2 companies and invest in other blue chip dividend payers and forego possible capital appreciation in these stocks. It does seem to me that these 2 companies have languished compared to my other tech exposures. What 3 or 4 dividend payers would you recommend for stable dividend and increases and some growth potential.
Thanks, as always, for your informed input.
