Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: These companies were both recently rated as a B, which seems odd. DSG has a long track record of superior earnings growth, consistent growth over many years, predictable earnings, better management, better management credibility, stable executive suite, a deeper executive suite, major barriers to entry, a niche business.... This is not to say that AVO is a bad company, just seems not be of the same quality level as DSG. Does the high DSG valuation supersede all of these other factors? Appreciate your comments.

Q: In your recent answer regarding 3 growth stocks in a TFSA you chose KXS,PBH,SIS. I wonder if you could elaborate on your thoughts about how you chose these. PKI, as an example seems, to have a good growth profile over the next 2 years and pays a nice dividend. Why not choose it.
I used the numbers provided by RBC Direct Investing below.
Thanks Mike

Q: Photon Control (PHO) is up strongly today on stronger than normal volume. I couldn't find any specific statements from the company linked to this, but yesterday Lam Research, a semiconductor equipment maker that uses PHO's products, announced results that were well received by the market. Is this driving the sentiment about PHO?

Thanks to the 5i team for informative and balanced insight.

Q: Hello 5i team,
My holdings in the technology sector represent 23% of my portfolio; they consist of CLS, CSU, DSG, ENGH, GIB.A, KXS, OTEX, PHO and SHOP. I wish to shed at least 2 of them; which would you suggest?
Thanks,

Q: PVG has been a short target for a long time, perhaps a hangover from the Farqu-up period. In the last couple of weeks shorts have increased a further 260,000 to 31% of the issued stock and equal to 15 days of average trading. I like this gold producer. What am I overlooking? Phil
