Investment Q&A

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

Q: On Sept 11, Otex announced it has received authorization for the OpenText IT Management Platform (ITMX) from the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP®) (https://finance.yahoo.com/news/opentext-management-platform-achieves-fedramp-142600427.html ) .

You mentioned before that OTEX may need time to integrate previous M/A. With the FEDRAMP approval, would it be a buy now? Or would you consider stronger stocks to be better total returns over the next 3-4 years? Please rank the attached companies (knowing that they're all very different).

Thank you so much for your insights!

Many Thanks

Q: Hi,

Long time subscriber and was curious as to the weightings of these four stocks in the BP. ranging from 1.15% to 1.76%. Conventional wisdom is that as weightings get closer to 1%, any movement has less effect on the overall portfolio.

What does one look for to justify holding on to these smaller holdings? I have a long time frame, and I know three of the four are recent additions, with OTEX being increased once.

Just looking for my held to be held, I suppose.

Thanks in advance.

Q: OTEX is closing in on my technical buy area. I've read previous Q&A and I realize there is currently negative price action, which doesn't really bother me as a long term buy and hold - unless you see red flags. Just want to make sure about a few things.

Does present cashflow make the debt levels manageable ? How about compared to debt-laden sectors such as utilities and telcos - say, during "tough times".

Is payout ratio really 161% ?

What is your confidence level in management ?

Q: I have held DSG for about 2 years in my RRSP and currently down about 24%. This position represents about 1.75% weight in the RRSP account and 0.48% of all investment accounts. I know 2 yrs may not a long time to give an investment a change but in this day of over performing tech stocks it seems that OTEX is not able to execute. Do you agree with this view? If I decide to exit, do you have 2 or 3 options to switch into?
Thanks for all the help.

Q: You recently said that trimming the weeds in a portfolio is something to believe in. Is SYZ a weed? I have held this stock for more than ten years and 5i's coverage of it was one of the reasons for my original subscription. I like the unique sector SYZ operates in and its growth potential, but I am losing patience and wondering if it is time to move on. If I sold SYZ I would add to my other Canadian software holdings, namely OTEX, ENGH, TCS and AIF, but I hesitate because SYZ provides diversification and may yet turn around. As always, I welcome your insight.

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
