Investment Q&A

Q: I plan on buying a half position in each of the companies in question (WSP, OTEX, SLF, CCL.B & SJ) Could you tell if they should be in my taxable account or TFSA?
Thank You, Jim

Q: I would like to buy one of the above companies. DSG's share price is expected to go up nicely in the next year, but it does not appear to have the push the other two have. What would you recommend?

Q: Hi 5i team,

I currently owned these technology stocks: Shopify, CGI, Kinaxis. I am looking to add Opentext, CSU, or Sylogist. Which two out of these three are your top picks for earnings growth, financial stability and capital gain? Thanks.

Q: Can you please comment on the earnings for $OTEX. Thanks Valter

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: Do you have any projections on what is expected with OTEX when they report tomorrow
Thank You

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: Is Open Text a good investment for my TFSA?

Q: can you compare similarities and differences between DSG /OTEX. also compare prospects to BB

Q: As a follow-up to your Jan 12 reply to Elmer: I bought OTEX a couple of years back partly based on a very low PE in the 6-7 range (Thompson-Reuters stock info in National Post). Same source now has PE at 80. Your response says: the stock is cheap at 13X earnings. I'm confused. Could you explain? Should investors ignore the Thomp-Reuters numbers, or how can they be used?
Thnx in advance.

Q: OTEX has been on a downward trend since its high on May 8, 2017. Today @ $41.79 its below SMA (9), (50), and (200). Parabolic SAR (0.01, 0.1) is 41.56 but still showing some upward movement. MACD is trending down, currently 0.3 and below the signal line. The Histogram is below the zero line and trending lower. The Price ROC has trended down from 70+ late in December. Now it's at 0.34%. RSE has followed PROC and has fallen to 43.82 from 70+. What is the cause of this poor performance? Has their marketing strategy tanked? Has the competition found of way of beating them at their own game? Has management tired of doing a good job? Is the company in financial trouble? Is operating cash low? Debt too high? Please give me some reason to hold this stock.

Elmer

Q: I am currently overweight in Tech would like to sell either Open Text or Enghouse. I also own Constellation Software, Kinaxis, Photon Control, and Shopify. Open Text is in a registered account and enghouse is in a non-registered acct. Thanks, Janet

Q: Hi 5i Team Please rank these stocks in order of preference would like information on which has the most growth potential in terms of share appreciation. CSU MG AVO COV GC OTEX Thanks Claude

Q: Greetings 5i team:
I own CGI Group in a non-registered account. Without regard to tax implications or trading costs, just looking at the fundamentals and expectations for each company, would you make a switch to either Open Text or Descartes assuming a 3 year or greater time frame?

Thanks as always for your analysis.

Q: How would you rate the following companies for growth to buy for my TFSA??
CLS, OTEX, ZCL, VET, PLI, TV, BUS, TDG. I really appreciate your considered opinion to help me make my decision. Thanks

Q: Hi there, I noticed Open Text has lagged the index this year and is relatively flat. Do you think that 2018 will be a better year for the stock, as it is being introduced into the TSX60? Thanks!

Q: I am starting a Growth Portfolio with $100,000 to be phased in over three years. I purchased DOL and SHOP with each 5% weighting, or $5000 each. What weightings should I consider for each of ECN, GSY, OTEX, PHO? (These positions will be in my TFSA and held for the long-term, more than 5 years.) Are there any other positions that I should consider at this time and if so, what weighting?
.PS...I currently hold KXS and GUD in my balanced portfolio.

Q: I have owned Open Text for a couple of years and have had a little growth. I would like to obtain some cash to buy Avigilon. Does selling Open Text to buy Avigilon for better growth make sense.

Thank you,

Bob
