Investment Q&A

Q: What is your opinion on ENGH? I am up a little over 100% with this position. Do you expect more growth?

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?

Q: Could you please rank above Tech stocks in order of preference that you would purchase or hold right now. I have all except CRWD and U, but they seem to be coming up in your lists more frequently.

Q: Hi
Enghouse seems on a downward slide lately. Have you learned of anything that would cause this? I was thinking of buying this in my grandchildren's RESP
Thanks

Q: Hello, I have a 2 part question:
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.

Q: I currently hold small positions, about 1%, of each of these stocks. Are they similar enough to consider consolidating into one holding? Which one would provide the better growth opportunity going forward?

Q: Anything doing with Enghouse today?
Tech market seems benign, if not slightly positive today, yet ENGH is down 5%.
This despite two positive PRs today, especially from it's Locus Division which announced a $55M contract - a company acquired for less than $15M.

What give in this unusual movement.?

Q: If you were to rank ENGH BAD and CAE in terms of growth over the next 2-5 years, what would that be and why. Thanks Dennis

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

In our combined portfolio, we own the following Technology stocks: CSU, ENGH, KXS, and OTEX. Since we hold OTEX in several different accounts within the portfolio, we were considering selling some OTEX and use the proceeds to buy some ABT. Would you be OK with such a move, or is ABT too expensive at the moment, since its RSI indicates that it may be slightly overbought? As always, your advice determines our course of action.

Q: Over the last 10-20 years, I have found that I have done the best buying and holding several smallish, but established companies that seem to have good long term growth prospects. Have made very large gains by holding stocks like CSU, BYD, PBH, WSP and GSY for 5, 10 or more years. I am trying to identify which smallish but established companies might be the best candidates to produce some very significant gains over the next 10+ years. Would you please rank the following in order according to which you think are the most likely to generate some very significant gains over that time frame. I hold the majority of these, but not in large positions, and there are a few I do not currently hold. Also, if you have another 2 or 3 companies that you think would fit this strategy, could you indicate which ones and where they would rank in the list. I'm not worried about sector, as my portfolio is well diversified, and I am tolerant of risk. Take how ever many credits you feel this question is worth. Thank you.
ABT, DOO, ECN, ENGH, GDI, GOOS, LSPD, PEO, REAL, SIS, TCS

Q: When their numbers came out for the quarter last week they seemed very good,but stock has been going down ever since the conference call!!Any reason??

Q: Thoughts on the quarter please?

Q: Please rank these stocks. Are they at a level that they could be bought today. For your highest ranked stock, why do you rank it higher than the others

Q: WHICH OF THESE 2 FOR A 5YR+ HOLD....JUST WHICH COMPANY IS BETTER...NO OTHER FACTORS.

Q: What are the expectations for ENGH's numbers for Thurs? I'm afraid that expectations may have crept up too much after last qtr.

Thanks in advance,

Q: In the past you have noted that CSU is one of the best managed companies in Canada and there can be no argument there. Are they getting tired? In round terms CSU is up 20% in the past 1 year while ENGH is up 100%. Is it time for me to get off the CSU horse which has served me well. What would be your recommended replacement if yes please? Dam Dan
