Q: Hi,

Your thoughts on Elon Musk's home rechargeable battery and it's investment impact on utility companies (Fortis, Emera, Canadian Utilities, etc…). I see Walmart is testing it out in some of their stores. I have read some pundits suggesting this will do to utility companies what the cell phone did to the land line business.

Thanks

Robert

Q: Hello Peter et al,
Technology is under represented in our portfolio with CSU at 3.8% and OTC at 1.1%.
I would like to add one or two names, or one name plus add to OTC. Suggestions would be appreciated. The new holdings will be within a RIF but will be viewed as long term holds as there are other holdings that can be used for the annual withdrawal for the next few years.
Many thanks. Bob

Q: Hi there,

I have been looking for an entry point for this technology player and am wondering if you think this is a good entry point. I show 25X this year's earnings - but it is off from its high and i have struggled with its valuation but the stock has always been pricey compared to its canadian counterparts. Do you think there is more downside here and a better entry point or worth stepping in now.

Q: I would like to get you opinion on the recent press release detailing Orange's new product which is built off of Espial's HTML5 software solution.

No financial metrics were released but would this not be a potential game changer for ESP? I assume Orange is a significantly larger client than Espial's other clients that they have announced contracts with. Will Espial be seeing some revenue from this deal?

What do you think of the company in general?

Thanks

Q: With the many downgrades today, and the stock down sharply after earnings, is it a good time to pick some or should I wait ? I guess the stock will not do much until the next quarter results and while the valuation is cheap and you are positive, there still might be a considerable downside to the stock price in the near term. I would like to avoid buying after the stock price has rebounded. Never too easy but what would you suggest? The fluctuations are in the range of 4-5% which is significant if I can get a feel for the trend over the next two weeks or so.
Regards

Q: Hi 5i team,

Can you please provide some insights about Tucows which is one of the companies included in the 5i Growth Portfolio. I find very little coverage about the company even though it has been listed for quite many years. Do you consider this a value or growth play? What aspects of the business do you find attractive? What is your expected returns over the next 12 months? Thank you.

Q: I bought this etf a year ago. It is in my RRSP US account. The etf is up 7%. Should i sell and buy it back when it dips. It has 0.15% expense ratio. Can you treat these etf's like stocks, or should it be held long term. It keeps fluctuating, so I thought of cashing in. Is it a good strategy. Thank you

Q: Peter and Team:
I currently hold SYZ and OTC (each about 3%) in a sector balanced growth portfolio. What are your thoughts about adding or switching with GIB.A. Is it fair to say these represent small, mid and large cap companies in this sector, and how would you rate the three for a 5 year plus hold? Do "valuations" really have much meaning in comparisons like this?

Thank you as always for a great service.

Phil

Q: Hi Peter and team,

I'm considering adding to either CSU or ESL which are current holdings or purchasing GIB.A as a new holding. All things being equal in terms of portfolio allocation, which would you recommend, or is there another name you see as a better purchase in the technology space at this time.

Thanks
