Investment Q&A

Q: I am a long time holder of OTEX and it has been a slow but steady performer over the years. I am thinking of swapping it out to purchase more shares of CSU and TOI as i see good things to come for both in the next 5 years and I no longer need the dividend income from OTEX.

Appreciate you advise and all the wise answers to our daily questions.

Q: Hi,

I have owned shares of OTEX for several years and have a modest gain in my TFSA. In order to add a bit more growth to my portfolio I am thinking about selling OTEX and buying shares of KXS. Is this a move that would make sense to you or would you replace with something else?

Thanks very much.

Q: I have a small position in OTEX and I know they grow buy acquisition . A recent purchase of ZIXI seems to be favourable for growth. Your comments on the future of this company ?
I also own a small positions in EFX. I'm down 27%. Hold or sell ?
Also own some CVX and down 22%. I keep waiting for infrastructure to pick up and expect this stock to take off. Your comments please. Thanks.

Q: Hi Gang
What is your opinion of the takeover yesterday
And the stock in general
Great job gang

Q: I am looking for technology companies that pay a dividend for an income portfolio, Sylogist is on my list to purchase however it is fairly small. Do you view the SYZ dividend as safe and would you buy today? Can you recommend another tech that pays a reasonable dividend (smaller but growing is fine)? Thank you.

Q: Hi,
Now that OpenText and Alphabet have a strategic partnership, where Google Cloud’s preferred Information Management partner is now OpenText, do you think there is any chance Alphabet will buy OpenText? If that were to happen, what kind of premium might OpenText attract compared to current share price? Thank you.

Q: I currently own OTEX but wonder if CSU or TOI would be a better choice over the long term (3-5 years). If so which would you prefer CSU or TOI?

Thanks

Q: I am overweight in tech by about 10% in my portfolio and I should sell some positions to increase my exposure in other sectors. What is your conviction in order of preference on APPL, CSU, NVDA, OTEX, TTD and TOI if I need to sell some portions or all of any of these holdings?

Q: The landscape of tech stocks in Canada seems to be rapidly evolving, with several impressive IPO's of late, and some very strong growth stories emerging. In a well diversified portfolio, how would you rate the desirability of holding each of the following tech stocks on a scale of one to ten, with 10 being a must own, 1 being a definite "no", and 5 being something OK, but nothing special. 5+ year holding period.

CSU, CTS, DND, DSG, ENGH, KXS, LSPD, MAGT, NVEI, OTEX, TIXT, TOI

Q: Hello, a great service and learning lots from the Q&A. I have a small Canadian portfolio with MG, OTEX, CNQ, BIP.UN and MFC. And also DIS from US side. I am looking to charge it up with some growth performers over the next 5 years. How do these holdings rate and any suggestions on additions? Would you replace any of these?

Thanks for the feedback. Have a great day.

Q: I do not have technology shares in my RRSP. I'm well covered in energy, financials, utilities, transportation, tel coms and an ETF US equities. There are quite a few techno companies out there. For a long term investment, any suggestions and why.

Q: My question is in regards to your information about US$ Dividends. I contacted Questrade where I have an account and they were pretty clear that if I have these stocks with the TSX, then they get paid in CA$. Here is what they said:

"I will like to let you know that we are not exchanging your dividend. We are only depositing the currency we received into your account. And I have double checked with our team and they confirm we can't change the currency of the dividend or choose them.
I am sorry you will need to contact investor relation of the company to help you with this. Please note we only deposit as what we receive from the company."

This is quite different from what the article on your home page says. Am I misunderstanding? Could you please explain. Thanks so much!

Q: Hello 5i Team,

Q: Otex share price has moved up recently. I understand good results are expected this year then 5% growth in 2022. Should a person sell on good news this year? Or do you consider it a long term hold?

Q: Good morning Team. Loving the website uptake. Managing along with my 3 adult kids (18,21,24) their TFSA. They have done very well with above. Recently sold OTEX and KXS which 2 older ones have held for 3-4 years. Advice should they consider
1. adding 2 new Canadian growth stocks or
2. should they add to five remaining ones

Realize very tech heavy but their time Horizon is long. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks. Chris

Q: In terms of Canadian tech shares, which do you find the most attractive for a five year hold currently of CGI, Open Text or Topicus? Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
I will use OTEX for my question but any interlisted company with US$ revenue will do say SHOP.
With the CDN$ raising how does this impact canadian share price? Is it possible that this represents a headwind? Wouldn't it be prudent now to journal/convert CDN shares into US shares. If CDN$ strengthens my canadian share values my decline if the company revenue is mostly US$. If CDN$ weakens that is ok I will make bigger profit if i convert back to CDN$. Am I correct?
