Investment Q&A

Q: Hello, I've noticed that Open Text is in the Growth Portfolio and Kinaxis is in the Balanced Portfolio. I would have guessed they would be the other way around. Do you believe OTC has more growth potential than KXS?
Thank you!!
Dave

Q: Out of your fav cdn growth stocks, how would you rank their relative risk (from lower to higher)

Q: I have a full position (5%)in BCE, would it make sense at this time to sell all or reduce this position and take a position in KXS?

Peter

Q: There seems to be no limit to the share price decline of BOS. I don't own it but have been watching. Does it now represent both good value and a growth opportunity? I know you don't like buying into negative momentum. For someone with room in their portfolio to add a couple of growth names is BOS a good place to put new money today or would you rather stick with a more positive momentum play like KXS?

Q: Hello, I have some stocks that I am planning to buy in the future. They are SJ, CSU, BYD.UN, SIS, NFI, KXS, RRX, PEY. Could you please rank these stocks from the safest to the riskiest? In your opinion, do you recommend these stocks for a long term hold? Also, which one in the list do you think has the most potential? Thank you.

Q: My technology companies are AAPL, AVO, CSU, ESL, OTC,PUR and TNC. Together they represent 18 percent of my portfolio. How would you suggest I go about adding SH or KXS? Should I just go overweight with technology or replace 1 or 2 or more. Or just stick with what I have and not fit these two additions. If you suggest only one of SH and KXS then could you please specify which one.

Q: Please comment on their results announced today. What will be the safest growth stocks at this point with minimum downside. Thanks

Q: Hi, could you please comment on Kinaxis earnings and its guidance for 2016. Do you believe, this new addition to the Balanced Portfolio is meeting/beating your expectations and showing signs of a long runway of growth ahead of it (early days now). Thanks

Q: Hi 5i - I have enjoyed the run up on WIN (now only down 6%) - I was considering taking the small loss and investing the cash in KXS (since its pulled back) - would you endorse the switch? I understand that KXS is still a risky investment, but sounds like a much better company overall? Thanks, Neil

Q: I read with interest your recent discussion of super stocks. Though they are notoriously difficult to identify and even harder not to sell prematurely, could you nonetheless provide a short list (e.g., 4 Canadian, 2 US) of "potential" super stocks with the understanding that there is little chance any will actually attain this lofty status.

Q: Kinaxis is down almost 10% in the last ten days. That's often a situation where I sell a company, not being a fan of volatility. Is this weakness a response to anything you know of and how long should we expect it to continue?

Q: Hi Peter,Ryan et al. My daughter age 32 has $32K to invest in her TFSA. My initial thought was a half position in CAO and KXS along with full positions in BNS. ATD.B CTC.A,PBH,
and HCG. Any suggestions and comments would be appreciated for at least a 3 year time frame.
Thanks in advance.
David

Q: How would you rank these companies in terms of growth and risk level? which 2 do you believe offer the best risk/reward potential?

Q: Hi, thanks very much for the 17% gain in just 7 weeks with CUS!! I have this in my TFSA and am now considering selling and replacing it with either RRX, HCG, KXS or DBO. Assuming diversification is not an issue, which do you see as the best upside potential? Or is it better to hold CUS for a little longer?
Thanks again! Ian

Q: Between these two companies, which one has more potential in the next 3-5 years, without taking on two much risk?

Great job on the changes to your website. I'm resistant to change so the transition is slow for me, but I'm starting to really like it :)

Q: Hi 5i, I'm investing on my NEW TFSA, the stocks I'm thinking on choosing from are: PBH KXS ATD.B GUD NFI RRX OTC.
I would like to reduce the number of stocks to 4. Which one would you suggest I go with, for a 5 year investment, I would like to max my growth and I do not mind taking some risk.
Thanks

Q: Hi, I have BOS CXI DHX DRT XTC IT and PUR.I would like to sell one or to and replace it with KXS. Which ones should go? Greetings Peter.

Q: I am choosing between KXS and ESL? Are they in the same business? Between these two stocks, which one offers a better value and has the most potential in the future? thanks.

Q: Good morning Peter and Team,

In my TFSA, I recently sold GS as I was able to take some profits thanks to the dividends, but was getting frustrated with the almost daily declines. As a result, I now have 22% cash.

I have the following:
24.4% Consumer Cyclical: DHX.B; XTC
10.3% Financial: CXI; CEW*
21.2% Industrials: ECI
11.7% Technology: DSG
10.4% Utilities: AQN
22% Cash

*CEW is a small holding of 2.6%. My iTrade account permits some ETF's to be purchased commission-free, so I use it when some non-dripped dividends are paid.

In an otherwise balanced portfolio, how would you deploy the cash? I was thinking about adding Kinaxis KXS, but would using all the cash make Technology too large a weighting? Or do you have some other ideas?

As always, I really appreciate your advice and insight.

Q: why the strong 5% potfolio recommendation for a stock 5i does not have a report on???
