Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have a half position in this stock ET.CA which when asked in the past you have said there is no growth so might want to let it go, and so because of the div, I just left it to go back up. Today they announced a special div. Will the stock typically go down after the dividend has been paid out Dec 18th? And if I should sell, would I need to hold to the 19th to get the special Dividend and then sell? When is the best time to sell? Or is the company doing a turn around and it's worth to hang on? If they are doing better, I'm happy to keep it or could move on, and then what would I replace it with.? Please advise.

Q: Hi 5i
Is it the business these guys are in or is it just the people can’t get a success fire lit under this company and stock?

I don’t know what my total return is since buying as a 5i stock years ago, but I’m clearly not a great allocator of capital. This selection did offer income but at the cost of share price.

Analysts are finding positives but year over year things are just blah.

If they sold the business to large US Tech player, would it fetch much more than current share price?

Thanks

Q: Greetings, I am thinking of selling ET and adding to OTEX to consolidate holdings in Canadian technology. How would you compare these companies in terms of their future runway for growth and current valuation? Do you think this is a wise move, or would you sell them both? Thank you.
