Q: I am down about 41% with both ENGH and WELL, but 2x the dollar amount for ENGH. I am considering selling 1 or both now for a tax loss and likely buying back. Any idea what to expect with ENGH's upcoming earnings report next week? ENGH seems to be currently sitting at pre-pandemic levels and I am guessing it might be there for a while unless there is some dramatic change in the economy. Thanks for your your comments!

Q: I know you rate this stock as an A and according to your report, think quite highly of it.

Well I've held this stock for 4 years and it is at the same level today as it was Jan 2019. It's down approx 40% since Jan 22.

Basically dead money. Other than the 2% dividend, I could have done as well in a 5 year GIC.

Is it time to throw in the towel. I believe I am a patient investor, but like you patience does run out.

If your answer is yes what is your top TSX listed NON TECH suggestion to replace it.

If your answer is no, why?


Thanks


Sheldon

Q: I own half positions in all three and am trying to decide what to do. Over the past 12 months ENGH has materially underperformed KXS and DSG, so I'm considering dropping it. At this time, do you feel the underperformance gives ENGH a greater potential to rebound, or is it the one to cut while increasing the other two (or adding different name in the sector)?

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team
Have held ENGH for several years in a LIF. I like the dividend of SYZ for income and am considering switching mainly for the dividend. I believe you rate ENGH higher than SYZ but like them both. Which do you think will make a better recovery? Is this a reasonable move?
Thanks

Q: I tend to hold either 3% or 5% positions in companies I own. If you were to own the above companies, which ones would you be inclined to own at a 3% level and which ones at a 5% level? If you would not be inclined to hold one or more of these companies at all, please indicate.
Thanks for a great service and have a well deserved weekend break. ram

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

We're currently overweight Technology. Given this information from "Simply Wall Street", is this a "red flag" for Enghouse, and might this be the one to let go? We also hold CSU, KXS, and TOI. Our gain in ENGH is 70%, which pales in comparison to CSU's gain of 401% (thank you 5i for continually recommending Constellation!) ENGH and CSU were purchased around the same time, but KXS was purchased later (up 101%) and TOI of course has been held only since the "spin-off" (but still up 39%).

Maybe I'm reading too much into this insider selling, but your opinion is important to me.

"Independent Director recently sold CA$814k worth of stock
On the 16th of March, Reid Drury sold around 20k shares on-market at roughly CA$40.68 per share. This was the largest sale by an insider in the last 3 months. Insiders have been net sellers, collectively disposing of CA$2.4m more than they bought in the last 12 months"

Thanks for your insight and assistance.

Q: All three reported tonight (March 3). What are your thoughts on the results and would you rate them a buy/sell/hold and why? If a hold, what would you see as a catalyst to get each of them moving? Thanks for all you do.

Q: Enghouse has been mercilessly and relentlessly whacked all the way back down to near its March 2020 covid-panic-selling lows, a feat unmatched by most of the hardest-hit tech stocks. At what point (price) do you think it could be considered attractive on valuation? I can withstand the volatility, but given its global exposure (especially Europe) do you think it is prudent to crystallize a 20% tax-loss on it at this point in time?

Q: This company is at March 2020 lows. Do you have conviction in this name or would you suggest putting sale proceeds into DSG, PBH or CAE for instance? I have plenty of IT exposure already. Thank you.
