Q: Good morning
these three ETFs have stellar one year performance to January 6th according to your March issue of Money Saver magazine. Do you see them topped out for the present or would you still see a buying opportunity here

Q: Can you please comment on OTEX's debt and payout ratio ? - a concern to me. Is this what is weakening the share price?

Is its business comparable to that of CSU or LMN ? I am aware of all the strengths of the latter two - including great management, but does OTEX really deserve what appears to be a substantially lower relative valuation?

Q: Hello again, I was not very clear on my question re: additions to Canadian dividend growth portfolio. I would like your top 5 preferences out of the 10 stocks listed, which are all currently held.

The suggestions you made are fine and most of those are also held, but for various reasons including existing position sizes I want to add to the group indicated. Thank you.

Q: Greetings, the above companies are all currently held (among others) in a Canadian dividend growth portfolio. For new money, what would be your top 5 choices to add to today? Long-term hold, income and stability with growth potential are key criteria. Would also like to maintain some sector diversification.

Q: Hi 5i,

I have held OTEX for many years as a 1.5% weighting and have a loss in a registered account. I am currently underweight tech and would like to slowly increase this sector. Based on the recent earnings and the division sale would you recommend adding, holding, or moving on with the position as a portfolio cleanup? If OTEX was sold would adding to a small position in CSU be a good move?

Q: Hello, I have the following in my TFSA: GIB.A, OTEX, NVEI, KXS, DSG, DOL, NXR.UN, with more or less the same weight. I am under water with NVEI, KXS, NXR.UN. Should I just sell OTEX, DSG and GIB.A and buy XIT instead and wait for NVEI and KXS to break even before selling them and buy XIT? I know XIT has 50% in SHOP and CSU and 5i likes CSU very much. I am less sure about SHOP. What is your opinion of SHOP for a long term hold? I did not fully understand their recent change of strategy. FYI, I have US tech names in a cash account, that’s why I am looking at CDN names in my TFSA. Thanks.

Q: Looking at Canadian technology stocks. I'm going to assume you figure CSU and SHOP are the mainstays here, so I would like to know how you would rate the following 10 other Cdn technology stocks on a scale of 1-10, for a long term hold, with 10 being a stock you would absolutely want to have in a portfolio and 1 being something of no interest at all. CLS, CTS, DCBO, DSG, GIB.A, KXS, NVEI, OTEX, TCS, VHI. I have included very small company VHI because their recent Q3 looked quite good to me. Also, if there are 1 or 2 that look like very compelling buys at this time, could you indicate which ones please. Thanks.

Q: I was wondering what companies in Canada might be in a position to benefit from the AI technology? Would SHOPIFY be on your list? Thank you.
Read Answer Asked by Pat on July 24, 2023
Q: Hi - of these two stocks, would you be buyers of both at current prices? Do you favour one over the other or are comfortable buying both? Growth objective and held within diversified portfolio. Which of the two would perhaps have greater downside in a recession? In your mind does either have a beta higher than 1 in a mkt downdraft? Thanks as always!
