Q: Hi there,

Your take on Cisco please? It was a top pick last night with the following comments:

"It represents the future of 5G. It is going to be transformational. New management is going to do extremely well here. (Analysts’ price target is $54.04)"

Do you like this? Is it a buy and why?

Q: Hello, Sent a question earlier and your reply is as follows;

PA recommends to reduce my technology exposure which is at 38%. Only problem is I am unsure which tickers to get rid of, like them all.

In my RRSP; OTEX at 4% and XAW at 21% not a direct tech exposure but does hold plenty of tech, just not sure how much.

LIRA: SHOP at 6.5%( recently chopped it from 9% to 5%), LSPD 5%, KXS 3%, QST 2.2%,

TSFA: CUSat 5%

Which one would you pull the plug on?

Tks

5i Research Answer:

XAW is currently about 22% technology. We like all the names here, and there is nothing stopping you from selling some of each if you want to lower exposure. XAW at 21% is a large position and could also be moved to 15% or so in our view. It has not performed so well either. If you want to sell just one we would lean to QST as the smallest and riskiest.

I should have also mentioned that PA also suggest to reduce my canadian exposure which is above 60%. That is the reason why my XAW exposure is at 21%. Having said that if I were to sell roughly 6% of XAW, can you suggest another non canadian etf to invest in? Seeing that XAW covers basically everything for my international exposure.

Thanks again!

Q: When trying to find the next stock with great returns like, Shopify or Beyond Meat what or where should one look.
I'm guessing something disruptive with greater than 30% revenue growth.
I have been cruising news articles and used stock screeners and haven't found anything recently. I'm guessing that a vegan fast food restaurant chain would take off similar to Chipotle and Noodle Co. did years ago.
Any companies or thoughts?

Q: Please comment on their latest earnings. I sense they are making progress on the debt reduction but revenues appear weak compared to prior year. Is the revenue drop the result of selling off portions of the company to reduce debt or is there some other reason? Backlog seems to be smaller but not horribly so which may be a positive. Not sure why they are keeping their 0.01 USD dividend other than public relations I suppose. I suspect MAXR needs to make itself smaller if it wants to show a profit and it appears management has put the company on that road.
I no longer own any shares but am still mildly interested. Without sustained revenue / profitability growth it would be too risky to jump in.
Thanks,
Jim

Q: What's your opinion on TJX for growth? Would you consider the recent drop an attractive buy point or are there better alternatives for growth in the sector?

Q: Believe it or not one of the key benefits of 5i is your amazing growth ideas in the US market. Although SHOP, LSPD, CSU have given me excellent returns to date your choices in the US market like AYX, TEAM, etc have been outstanding.

So my question today is, have you uncovered any other promising US gems that are growth oriented a la TEAM and AYX ,recently, that might not have been mentioned on this Q&A section as of yet.

If yes, Please share and thank you.
