Investment Q&A

Q: I have a small position in otex and I am considering selling for a position in kxs. What is your outlook for each of these stocks for 3 to 5 years? What might be specific risks for each of these companies? What is their financial health and insider ownership? Thanx.

Q: Hi 5i Team,
Please provide your stock recommendations (growth companies) for an investor who is interested in making regular fixed lump sum contributions to the same entities month after month . Time horizon for contributing to the holdings is 2-3 years.
Thanks for your great work!

Q: Hi, wondering what you would suggest as best buys this week for short term gains given the decline in many sectors or stocks showing new momentum trends? And any long term holds being offered at a good discount to pick up? Thanks for all your good advice!

Q: Can you give me the actual share count of short interest in Kinaxis? For both the US and Cdn exchanges.

David

Q: Hello team,
Would you have the Jan 15th short interest share count in the US and Canada for Kinaxis?

David

Q: Thanks for the quick answer, further, then to trimming. If you suggest a 20% total in the sector, would you suggest 5% in each holding, or some 6 and some 3? Thanks for the detail!

Q: Am I correct in being a bit nervous about the tech sector getting ahead of itself? I own the above stocks in tech. I have trimmed SHOP from about 12% down to 7%, and I own about 6% in the others, (all with good gains). So - still about 25% tech. I've thought of selling all tech and sitting on the sidelines for a few months, or, just making a trim to reflect a balance. How would you suggest I proceed to further? Thanks, as always.

Q: Hello, I have some dry-powder to put into the market

Was wondering what your current favorites are based on momentum? Are there any that are breaking out?

Thanks for the great service and insight!!

Q: Hello 5i,

I have a unique and complex situation as I worked in the US for half my career and have investment portfolios in both countries with tax deferred, taxable cash and growth free accounts. In addition I carry some significant capital losses. I am 2 to 3 years away from retirement and although I should not be exploiting growth, the lure of using the capital losses is very compelling. I hold SHOP at a full position, KNX & DOL at half a position each, and GUD at a 1/4. My health care sector is also low.

I have a full position to buy with - GUD appears to be the only under performing choice at this time.

What else would you recommend I look at beyond the 4 candidates I have in my current scope.

Thank you

Steve

Q: How big was is this story for KXS with the Toyota contract?

Thanks

Q: I am seriously considering adding 5000 NLN and 4000 PHO to my TFSA for growth opportunity over the next 1 to 2 years. Are the fundamentals sound for both these 2 companies and would you generally be OK with this choice. Do you have any better ideas of how to invest $10,000 in my TFSA with growth being my main objective???

Q: Can I get your present view on this company? Any suggestions for a replacement that might have better growth prospects? Thanks.

Q: Can you recommend you top five growth stocks for my TFSA. I would like to take full advantage of tax free growth in this account. Rest of my portfolio is well balanced in my other registered and non-registered accounts. Time frame is 5 to 10 years.

Q: Can you please provide the strength of each company in terms maintaining growth within this 6 months or more from good to least?

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Greetings for 2018!

For my daughter's RESP, I am trying to decide between 2 tech stocks, Kinaxis (KXS) or Descartes(DSG)? Which do you recommend? What is the optimal number of stocks to hold in the RESP, 5 to 6 stocks?

Thanks.

Q: For growth of 2 to 5 years please name two stocks in any sector.

Thanks for your excellent advice!

Q: What sector do you see most opportunity in 2018 and top 3 names in the space?

Q: I have a small amount of cash in my TFSA as a result of dividend income. I have less than a full position in the above companies either as a result of smaller purchases or because they have dropped since purchase. (HWO) Which of the above would you add to? Thank you, Rod

Q: Need to add a full position to my TFSA. Currently own the above 5i covered stocks with KXS in my TFSA. What is your recommendation? Considering PBH, TOY, DOL.

Q: You have mentioned in the past that KXS has lots of cash. One assumes this means "in relation to" some other factor, as other companies have larger cash holdings. Please outline what you are using as a base for this ratio so I can use this metric when evaluating my other holdings (mostly those recommended by 5i).
