Investment Q&A

Q: Good morning. I hold the above stocks in my TFSA. Together they now account for approx. 6% of my TFSA. I am thinking I'd like to consolidate them into one or possibly two positions. Which would you choose to keep if you went that route. Alternatively can you suggest one or two Canadian and one or two American growth stocks to take their place. I already hold full positions of CSU, LMN, TOI, NVDA, and SHOP. Thanks for your advice, Rod

Q: I recall a few years ago that Blue Yonder launched a law suit against KXS over some patent issues. Any update on this? Is it an overhanging issue for the company? Do you feel it is weighing on the stock and that investors should be taking this into account?

Thanks.

Q: Can you please provide your thoughts on the stocks listed for a RESP that will start to draw down in 4 years? In addition to these positions the portfolio has a good core position in CDN, US and INTL large cap ETFs. Any that you would get rid of now? If so, please provide alternatives (both Cdn and US).

Q: KXS is down a lot Thursday morning. Is this an over reaction or is it time to think about reducing position. 5i has been generally quite positive about KXS but I detect the sentiment is shifting. How do you view the stock performing over the short term and long term? What catalysts will influence things?

Q: So here we are down 8% after earnings release. My question is hold or sell?

Q: How do you feel about Kinaxis moving forward after going over their results?

Q: Would you lean KXS or DCBO moving forward?

Q: Good Morning
I have done well with Kinaxis but have become impatient with the returns over the last couple of years. Can you recommend an alternative? I am considering swapping out for TVK and HPS.A.
thank you

Q: Any news for the sell-off over the past couple of days? I could only find a news release re PartnerLink. Your overall view of KXS also appreciated.

Q: The AI fields are currently very much the talk of the tech world. Do you have names of Canadian companies active in the AI fields, other than OTEX, we can check out as names of interest for potential investment? Thanks.

Q: I am considering starting new positions or adding to existing positions in a number of these companies. In What order would you purchase these companies, from first to last? Is there any of these companies you would not currently buy? Looking at 3 to 5 year timeline..

Apologies for number of companies!! Please deduct appropriately.

Thanks
Tim

Q: KXS shares are basically flat over that past four years. Yet the company continues to grow nicely quarter after quarter and the balance sheet is strong. So the fundamentals look really good. This would imply major valuation compression. Can you please comment on the valuation four years ago compared to today? How does the current valuation compare to their industry and software sector?

Thanks.

Q: I have held both of these stocks for a long time but beginning to feel that they will not be doing much for a while. Can you see either returning to growth this year?
Thank You
Peter

Q: This question concerns the technology sector in a well-diversified Canadian portfolio (~30 holdings), focused slightly toward growth.

The current technology holdings are CSU, SHOP, DSG and KXS. With the exception of KXS, the holdings are all positive. We are considering replacing KXS with LMN.

For a long term hold, which of KXS and LMN would you prefer and why?

Thank you,

Peter.

Q: I have owned KXS for several years and although I am not unhappy with its performance it is rather volatile. DSG which is in a similar business seems to experience more price stability. I am ok with volatility and tend to hold equities for the long term. Using long-term growth prospects and current valuations as a guideline would you favor one over the other to any great extent? Taxes are not an issue so I could easily switch to DSG if the metrics suggest this is the better stock.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Which 5 Canadian and 5 US companies would you buy for pure growth over the next 6 months? Can you provide a bullet for each on risk and main reasons for selection?

Q: Hi 5i,

I've owned Kinaxis (KXS) for a long time (2% of portfolio) but I'm considering selling it and buying Celistica (CLS). Could you please comment on the pros and cons of each stock and which one you would prefer at this time for a long term hold?

Thanks!

Q: JPM has had a decent run but I'm thinking of swapping it for Mastercard. Can I get your thoughts please?

Palo Alto has also been terrific, but I'm trying to add more AI into my portfolio. I'd like to sell it and find a new name, CDN or US. I own MSFT, AAPL, Salesforce, GOOG, Meta, NVDA, Constellation, Shopify and Kinaxis. I was thinking of Taiwan Semi, AMD or Broadcom, but can I get your thoughts please?

Q: I have very small positions in both of these stocks. I am wondering about consolidating them into just one. In your opinion, which would be the best one to hold over the next three years?

Q: Hi,

These are some names that I hold that are smaller weights in my portfolio (<2%) and I would like to add to my positions. From comments, I think all of them are solid going forward and some have run hard, such as HPS.A, TVK, CRWD...The thing I've struggled with before is adding to names at the wrong time after they've had a good run and then the market turns and your gains turn into losses. How do you approach these situations and when do you decide to add to a starter position.

Would you be comfortable adding to any of these names at the current prices and can you rank which ones you would add to first?

With the market at record levels, I'm a bit more gun shy of doing so but I think on any market pullback, I would add to any of these names. Would you agree?

I remember a question you answered recently about increasing the avg. cost base vs the % of the position when adding. So for example, I bought HPS.A at $50 and now its $93 for a nice gain, however it's only 1.5% of my portfolio now. So if you are comfortable with a 3% position, do I just add now to get to that 3% even with the run that its had? Or wait for a nice pullback, which of course is impossible to predict. I try not to anchor prices and of course the buyers today are forward looking and expect good things to continue. How do you approach this? Thanks!
