Q: What would be your top 5 dividend stocks (excluding banks & resources)which are presently undervalued based on their most recent earnings and would have the highest potential growth in the next 12 to 18 months. Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,

In rebalancing my portfolio, I find that I am sadly lacking in tech stocks. At present, I have: CSU 4%, KXS 1.5%, Shop 0.4%. Could you suggest options to bring the total up to about 15% and designating whether they would be better suited for an RRIF or TFSA account? As a senior, I should be more conservative but, at the same time, I can stand some risk.

With thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and Company,

I have looked at metrics (beta, market cap, p/cash flow ratio, p/e ratio, dividend rate) for the above 3 mentioned IT/tech companies and feel that OTEX seems to have the best metrics among them. Would you please comments on these companies and rank them accordingly.

Cheers,
Harry

Q: I am interested in adding to my technology holdings and am considering CGI or Open Text. CGI seems a little less volatile but Open Text pays a dividend. Do you have a preference for one over the other at this time. Perhaps there is a different Company that you would prefer to either of these. I also wanted to ask if you had a preference for buying in Canada or the US?

Thank you as always.

Q: Hi, I took a position in Open Text @$45 after release of recent quarterly results. The stock has been weak since and down 15% now. It has also not followed the general strength in the Technology sector and traded lower even when its peers KXS, CSU, DSG etc have gained in value. Analysts seem to be of view that stock is undervalued and market is not recognizing its strong recurring revenue base and expected growth from recent acquisitions.

Can you help me understand, why stock has been so weak and if a recovery is expected in next 6-12 months? I also own KXS, CSU,CGI and SYZ in Tech sector in fairly large quantities. For me it's a a question of capital allocation and find better opportunities. Thanks for your insight.

Q: My tech sector comprises OTEX & KXS.
KXS has done very well this past year whereas OTEX is now back where it was at that time. It seemed to be on a losing trend before it acquired COVS - which only seemed to make it worse. What's your opinion, where do you think it might be heading? Anything positive to say? Your advice very much appreciated.

Q: I currently own SHOP, KXS and PHO but want to add one more tech stock to bring my tech weighting up to about 15%. I was thinking about adding CLS or OTEX. Which would you prefer as more of a growth stock or do you have another suggestion?
Read Answer Asked by Paul on June 26, 2017
Q: In my technology sector I hold CSU, ABT,ITC, KXS, MDA and OTEX. These stocks share equal weights except for Constellation (CSU) is up more than 300% and is now taking up 30% of my 15.5% weighting in this sector. Although I do not want to sell CSU, should I be looking at rebalancing and replacing perhaps half of my CSU with another tech stock? If so, would you suggest a new one or recommend adding to one or more that I already have. Thank you for your views on this.
