Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello Peter,
If one of your members wants to donate credits, I am happy to take some of them. There have been many questions on Nuvei, and do apologize for another one. However, my biggest concern is not the short sellers. Regulations take time and there will always be companies looking to profit from potentially fake news or reports. I am more concerned about the firms that are happy to raise money from companies like Nuvei, sell stock to their clients (as we see many analysts from firms having much higher targets for the company prior to short seller), but when a negative report comes out, very few come out and defend the company, especially when the company comes out with a release that their guidance is intact. In some ways, it makes one think whether it is really worth putting monies in high growth companies as when something goes wrong, the retail investor is left holding the bag with less monies than invested. I have two portfolios, one conservative with BAM, banks, costco, etc and other with high growth. The conservative portfolio over a ten year period has done much much better. Please comment on the investment industry on their lack of response (well some did but not to a great extent). Also, can you comment why Enghouse is lower and lower after the company announced a potential sale. I was expecting it would surge slightly. Many thanks for the service over the years and the various questions from the investors.

Q: Morning 5i Team,

I currently hold a full position in OTEX and am thinking of switching to either GIB or ENGH.

I would like to get your thoughts on this and which one of GIB and ENGH would be your choice if I indeed decided to switch. Or are there others options (regardless of sectors) that would be your choice.
Cheers,
H

Q: Assuming (I know, bad thing to do) ENGH is sold, what Canadian company would you replace it with? Small but growing divy, excellent management, etc.
Thanks for your always expert advice!! Ron

Q: Hello,
Enghouse is exploring options to sell. What is a reasonable price a buyer would be willing to pay given the company's state: balance sheet, market presence, etc .. Buying a company based on a potential takeover is tricky but do you think it is a good price today regardless of a takeover? Much appreciated. Thanks for the advice on the various stocks over the years.

Q: I am looking to offset some capital gains received this year from PEO and PHO (thanks!). Currently I have the following holdings in a loss position, in order of dollars down: TDOC, TV, XBC, HAL, XEG, NFI, SQ, TECK.B, XTC, WELL, ENGH, PLTR. I would need to sell the first six to fully offset the gain, or could sell more if using those in a smaller loss position. How would you rank these holdings in order of selling, and which of these would you look to buy back after 30 days (if any)? Note that these are held within a broad portfolio that I am also looking to consolidate.

Q: I've been on the fence with this stock and was trying to decide what to do with it....I go to the 5i website and boom you've upgraded to A-. I was coming to ask if it was time to move to another tech name. I am a balanced portfolio follower slowly moving to income follower so was considering selling my ENGH and buying SYZ. I bought at $65 so am down about 15%. I take it the upgrade means you have faith even if it isn't a name you hold in the portfolios.

Q: I am looking for technology companies that pay a dividend for an income portfolio, Sylogist is on my list to purchase however it is fairly small. Do you view the SYZ dividend as safe and would you buy today? Can you recommend another tech that pays a reasonable dividend (smaller but growing is fine)? Thank you.
