Investment Q&A

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,
Which will be your first choice for a long term hold? Thank you

Q: Hi team
OTEX has been edging higher in the last few weeks?
any news or fundamental reasons for her nice performance?

I have a 3/4 position, should I put in more or wait?
pays a nice dividend to wait
thanks
Michael

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?

Q: Could you please comment on their results and outlook?

Thanks,
Milan

Q: any new information on OTEX?

cheers,

Q: hi, are you still comfortable with these 2 for longer term holds? also, what are your thoughts on Docebo as a buy at these prices?? and while I am on a question asking roll, what about Palantir??

Q: My son hold these tech stocks and really need to start to invest in US tech stocks as all his holdings are in Canada. He would need to sell some of these holdings to get cash so he could convert to US dollars and then buy 2 US stocks. Which stocks would you sell first and can you provide 2 US that are similar to the stocks that he would sell. He has a RRSP account so no capital gains to worry about. He has 20 years before needing to withdraw.
Thanks

Q: During recent research, I discovered a theory that even in our times of extreme volatility I should seek out companies that exhibit the following characteristics:
1. They have a history of growing dividends for investors.
2. They have a history of growing their earnings.
3. They trade at valuations that make sense.
So, based on these variables, and your years of experience, please provide me with the names of several Canadian companies that have these characteristics.

Q: Did otex pay 210% of its profit as dividends last year? Is there growth projected this year? If already owned, would you hold or sell?

Q: there is a lot of buzz about "artificial intelligence" and the stocks that are best positioned in this sphere . Would you consider OTEX a good choice?
What others would you you recommend?

Q: Hi Guys
Simply Wall Street, is showing future annual earnings growth at 104.2 %, is this in line with your data? Also can you comment on their declining margins, which i have as 2.7%
I stepped in today for a 1/3 position, what do you think?
Thanks Gord

Q: Good morning,

I have a basket of tech stocks that I am looking to add a few names too. Those already held include CSU, KXS, LSPD, ENGH, CTS, DND, and REAL. What stocks of the ones listed would you add to today for long-term hold? Thanks.

Q: Going through all your portfolios looking for a high(er) growth stock with a dividend >1 that I don't already own. Can you please rate the following on a scale of 1-10 (1 being low) for both growth and risk over the next 12-18 months: MG, SLF, PKI, TFI, CCL, PLC, GSY, OTEX. (I note that all but SLF are currently rated 'strong buy'.) And if you have two clear favourites in the preceding list, I would appreciate those being noted separately. Thank you.

Q: Hello 5I
I am thinking of switching CGI Group (1.05% of portfolio) and OTEX (3.19% of portfolio) for TOPICUS , looking for more growth. TOPICUS also looks like a company that may employ AI going forward in their vertical market software offerings. I am a bit overweight Technology but not concerned about it.
You thoughts please
Thank You
Clarence

Q: Your thoughts on one of these 4 companies for a long term hold over 5 years. Tecsys showed the highest 5 years return among the 4. Do you think that it still has a long way up?
Any other companies in similar fields that you would prefer over these 4 names.
Thank you!

Q: Please comment on the quarter reported Feb 4.
An extraordinary charge results in a loss .
