Investment Q&A

Q: Which of the two stocks listed would you invest in for a 5 year hold and reasons why.? If you could only own one which one offers the best prospects of growth and safety of principal.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

In our combined portfolio, we own the following Technology stocks: CSU, ENGH, KXS, and OTEX. Since we hold OTEX in several different accounts within the portfolio, we were considering selling some OTEX and use the proceeds to buy some ABT. Would you be OK with such a move, or is ABT too expensive at the moment, since its RSI indicates that it may be slightly overbought? As always, your advice determines our course of action.

Q: Hi Guys, Thanks to 5i and the above companies 2020 has been very good year and would like some more ideas to go along with these above gems.

Regards
Anthony

Q: If I was going to buy one of these three which would you recommend please? Or are they not a BUY at this time. Thanks for your valued thoughts. Dam Dan

Q: I’m considering adding to my SHOP and KXS positions and initiating LSPD and CJT positions. I’m in no hurry and would like to purchase shares that have gone on sale(lol). I’d appreciate your commentary on the likelihood of the impact of two events in our immediate future and their impact on prices. My concerns involve: (1) the coming of winter and the impact on LSPD as restaurants shutter, potentially for good and (2) the impact of the US election if the result is dragged out for weeks in an ugly transition of power. I have no problem buying today, and I know you don’t recommend timing the market as there is always something to worry about, but it seems foolhardy to not consider the impact of events staring us in the face. Thanks for the guidance.

Q: In the technology sector with the increase in prices of each holding I have gone overweight. I have previously reduced weighting. Have taken profits in each of the above. Could you suggest from first to last which you would be more app to sell either all , some or none
DSG up 25%, KXS up 16%, LSPB up 38%,REAL up 15% , SHOP up 7 %
I’ve been rebalancing my portfolio as per tracking and analysis. Last piece of the puzzle.
Thanks again for your excellent service. For DIY it’s excellent esp. q&a

Q: I have essentially equal holdings in these mega caps and other US and Canadian techs listed. For a new additional tech investment, any thoughts on the best addition? Would you recommend more to an index?
I'm trying not too add too many new names.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

Q: Kinaxis on 9/14 it was $181.1 - 13 days ago it was $215, would this arrangement with L3Harris decision-making have anything to do with the sell-off? Real 9/14 it was $23.4 - 38 days ago (08/06) it was $33.00. Could you do a flash report about stocks performing as such. Relying on your great advice, Dennis

Q: hi, the PE on KXS is around 142 according to one source today. is this correct? historically, what PE ratio would a high growth company with positive earnings be?

Q: Can you suggest me 10 Growth stocks in Canada/US. Time horizon is 10-15 years. Investment style is BUY AND FORGET.

Q: WHICH OF THESE 2 FOR A 5YR+ HOLD....JUST WHICH COMPANY IS BETTER...NO OTHER FACTORS.

Q: We are experiencing the third day of steep declines in the US tech sector. Is it time to look at picking up some bargains if so what names would you prefer at today's prices? Would we be better advised to buy an ETF like VGT or individual stocks?

Q: Hi 5iTeam,
Please recommend 2 stocks and 2 etfs in each of Canadian and US markets with or without dividend, for a 25 to 30 years hold.
Cheers,

Q: Good afternoon,

The technology portion of my portfolio has grown too large (about 37%) and I’m trying to figure out how to get it back to about 25%? My issue is that I’m interested in too many tech options (I.e., the ones that I own plus others I’d like to buy). I’m looking for suggestions on which I should sell, add to or replace by buying a better option. Some were initiated with half positions that went down and some full positions grew so the proportions all over the place. I have a long time horizon and many are held in a registered account (except SHOP and NVDA). I own: KXS (3.5%), CSU (3.8%), SHOP (2.7%), PHO (<1%), ZS (3.3%), TEAM (1%), NVDA (6.1%), AAPL (11%), MSFT (4.6%) and I’m interested in buying REAL, DOCU and GOOG. I’d like to own what are viewed as solid tech companies for future innovation and growth and I’m willing to add, remove or replace any of these companies.

I also need to add materials and REITs to my portfolio since I currently have no holdings in these. I’ll use my tech trimmings to add to these sectors. Suggestions of top companies for these two sectors would also be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks for all the great work and suggestions you provide,
Lisa

Q: For the above technology companies there has been a huge pullback even though some have beaten nicely on earnings. Is this a buying opportunity for them or wait and see where the NASDAQ settles out before putting new money in. What is the reason for the pullback. Typical profit taking before Labour Day? Of the above Can you rank which you would put new money into first?

Q: I think we were due for today's pullback. What are your favourite names to add to here for a long term hold?

Q: What do you think of the latest contract with ls harris technologies, how big is this.

Q: What's wrong with Canadian tech these days? ZQQ is up 12.61% this month, as tech stocks soar. But in Canada, you would have been much better off owning a plodding insurance company like Sun Life or a bank than Kinaxis, Constellation Software, Open Text, Enghouse, CGI, Shopify or Sylogist.

Q: What would be your top picks today as a growth 3-5 plus years.
I have done well and held back 30% in cash after adding In a fair bit with the top picks you mentioned in the March /April special report (thank you )and I feel comfortable to add another 15 % To 20 % in.
Thanks for your great advice/ideas.
