Q: Without knowing details of my portfolio, would you recommend selling some SQ at a profit and buying some BOX today?

Thanks, cathy

Q: I have some extra cash to invest and am interested in adding either TEAM, SQUARE or BOX to a well rounded portfolio. With a relatively high risk tolerance, which of these do you see as having a greater upside over a short and long time frame?

Q: Hi team, Given the latest results, would you recommend averaging down today or wait? What would be a good entry point?
Thanks!

Q: I invested in iRobot a few months ago at about $82 as a play in AI for my RRSP, planning on just sitting on it for years. It soon dropped into the $60's but I held on, and in the past couple of weeks it's been gaining day over day, now up over $115. Is there a valid reason for the quick rise in price? Or, should I be concerned that there is hype involved, and take some gains. You assessment please! Thanks, Kim

Q: Please comment on the earning of BOX inc.
Thanks

Q: Hello,

Q: Hi
Sangoma recently announced the purchase of Digium for US28,000,000. Once the transaction is signed, Sangoma intends to finance the deal by borrowing approximately $21 million. The new credit facility will be drawn in US dollars, and will be repaid over 7 years and is expected to have an interest rate of 6.0% to 6.5% per annum at closing. What do you think will be the monthly or annual payments? Will the payments represent only interest costs or will they include a portion of capital?
On page 8 of the investor presentation, it is written that Digium has about $15,000,000 in tax NOLs. Is it fair to assume that Digium has lost $15,000,000 over several years and that Sangoma will be able to use the tax NOLs in order to avoid paying taxes on future US earnings?
Is the Nols considered an asset? Will it show up in Sangoma's balance sheet?
If Digium did not have $15,000,000 in tax NOLs, what would have been a fair transaction price?
What is the approximate value of $15,000,000 in tax NOLs?
What is the approximate percentage of the purchase price attributable to the $15,000,000 in tax NOLs?
Thank you and have a nice day.

Q: Hi Team, in my US RRSP, I hold Microsoft. Sold Intel and trimmed some Microsoft last week. Am looking to add a tech company in hardware space or a company that provides cloud hardware. Am thinking of Cisco (nice dividend) I do hold the NVDA in my TFSA. Thank-you in advance. Sam

Q: Can I get your take on the SPDR S&P software and services ETF? It's volatility, risk and growth prospects as compared to other tech ETFs or companies?

Q: RNG is listed among today's new highs.
Is it too late to invest in this company?
How does it compare to TEAM, which I know you recommend.

Q: I'm currently invested in some "subscription model" Companies such as $APPL, $CRM, $MSFT, $AMZN.
Are there any other companies in Canada or the US that use a "subscription model" that you can recommend?

Thanks,

Valter

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
I believe you consider both of the above a buy at present time.......family member has enough $ to start a small position in 1 of them. Which would you pick at present for long term hold and why.
Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: I would love to buy Grubhub, Square and Salesforce to add to the FANGs that I bought a year ago at then "stratospheric" prices. Do you think these three are too expensive or in for similar one year gains? Please rank and comment. Thank you.

Q: Tucows (an older pick of yours), has dropped a fair bit since it's last quarter results. Would now be a good time to enter a position for a 5 year hold ? or would you prefer an alternative ? I already hold CSU, KXS & OTEX.
Thank you once more for your valued advice
John
