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

Q: From one of your answers: "data analytics might be the next big business that gets adopted faster. Companies are quickly realizing that their ROI can improve quickly simply by knowing their customers better."

Can you name your top five in this area and why they have more upside than competitors?

Thank you!

Q: I need to increase telecom portion of my portfolio, so I am considering buying one of these four: BCE, Telus, VZ, and VOD. Can you please rate these companies at the scale of 1-10 in terms of anticipated total return and safety (I am a conservative investor) over the next 5-10 years. Please disregard tax credit and US withholding tax consideration as I am in a high tax bracket and, if needed, can free up some room in RRSP. Thanks.

Q: These stocks are in my portfolio and are way down from my cost. Are these worth holding, adding more or to sell and move on.

As these are in my non-registered account, I can use the capital loss to offset previous year year's gains. Could you suggest proxy for these in case I sell now for capital loss to buy them later.

Q: Hi Gang,
Wondering your thoughts on DocuSign earnings out today. I didn't think so awful, all though I do think the market wants to see actual profitablity now and docu did not deliver..again...is that your read?
Is the 20 percent off today a hint to buy or would you wait to see if future earnings reports turn around? They are cash flow positive which is a plus.
Thanks

Allan

Q: There are several opinions and blurbs in the media (Barrons, WSJ, CNBC, Bloomberg, and the London Financial Times) that opine on, or point to the probability of, semis having been over-ordered by OEMs in the last couple of quarters. The thinking, if I have understood correctly, is that the revenues of semi conductor companies (designers and foundries alike) will rapidly slide down for the next 9 to 12 months.

What is your own view on this? Would the above— if true— not be priced into stock values already? I am overweight in semis but am reluctant to trim in down markets. Nevertheless I would definitely do so right away if you believe it more prudent to trim (even in taxable accounts).
