Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello,

We are retired investors and own all three names in the group, with CSU - 13.5%, LMN - 4% and TOI - 3.5% weights. SHOP is the only other Canadian Tech at 5.5%, in addition to US Large caps tech holdings at 7%. So Technology sector is >30% of our combined portfolios. There is enough income through dividends and pensions.

Despite trimming CSU by more than 50%, over past several years, its weight continues to grow. ( Great !! )

1. Do you consider > 30% Tech holdings reasonable as a sector allocation, TODAY, for an investor ( with moderate to high risk tolerance ). If not, in what order would you trim ?

2. Would you be comfortable with 20% of portfolio allocated to Constellation Software family, more specifically 13-15% to CSU and what would be your high watermark for its weight. ( We particularly like CSU for its steady Eddie profile and prospects of more spin offs)

Thank You

Q: A major downgrade on this stock in the last day or 2 and quite a hit to the price as well when you consider most AI stocks appear to be on their way back up. Karl Ackerman is citing over supply of their memory chips which if lower prices result he would adjust his target price lower yet. Do you think this is accurate information, or perhaps almost like a short report. Can you go over their recent sales, EPS metrics and outlook? Please advise if you would buy this and if so at what price. Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i Folks,

I am a "rare" questioner. And with 231 question credits. I am a low impact member.

I was fortunate to purchase CSU:CA many years ago when it was considered "an expensive stock". Well, it now has paid for my 5i Membership so far, and for the rest of my life. And I guess still considered "an expensive stock." Thank you 5i.

I just reviewed your most recent update, written in March, 2024. Since some time has passed, would it still earn a grade of "A".

Q: Can you recommend a few small cap. tech companies tied to AI that could have outsized gains due to their unique potential with higher but OK debt that may provide further leveraged gains with interest rate declines?

Q: TOI was spun out of CSU around 4 years ago, with the goal of having a smaller and faster growing company. Since the spinoff, both companies have done very well, yet CSU has outperformed. Do you think that the spinoff thesis is still intact? Or is it too early to make this call?

Thanks.

Q: I hold all 3 companies and have been doing really well with CSU. The other 2 LMN and TOI have been a roller coaster, especially LMN. Luckily, both positions are very small in comparison to CSU (phew!!)
CSU - current price $4142 ish.
LMN - current price $33 ish
TOI - current price $130 ish.
Please recommend in which order you would add to, at today's prices (most preferred to least preferred). All are long term plays. Thank you very much.
