Q: I am still deliberating on which US tech stock to buy with some recently released funds (2.5% of portfolio). I have been passively following all those stocks listed below and recognize that we may be looking at apples and oranges, but I am assuming that if the Tech sector is improving, they should all benefit. Would you please give your ratings on the following stocks and prime reason for your preference:
Arm Holdings PLC ARMH.US
Adobe Systems ADBE.US
Apple Inc. AAPL.US
Cisco Systems CSCO.US
SanDisk Corp SNDK.US
Seagate Tech. STX.US
Western Digital WDC.US

Thanks for your help.

Q: Hi Team

can you help me understand the ebb and flow of the market sectors.

the one that intrigues me lately is the insurance and financials

1. in the insurance sector there seems to be a year to date downturn for SLF, yet not for GWO OR IFC. WHY is this, is there any real "science" / economic "fundamentals" to this?

2. as for the big 6 in banks, they seem to move in the same general direction yet by slightly bigger swings for some, i.e. CM and CWB, is there any rationale behind this ?

Q: Hello 5I Team
What do you make of Intellipharmaceutis these days. Two TDwaterhouse analysts have them rated as a Strong Buy and there is some net insider buying but there are a lot of (-) signs by their fundamental numbers.
Your comments Please
Thanks for your help

Q: I purchased SYZ in December 2013 at $7.18. Despite a nice little run-up in the stock over the past year, it seems we're right back where we started 14 months ago. I am wondering if there is any compelling reason to continue to hold? With a sluggish economy in the west, I cannot foresee much demand for its services/software at this time and am wondering if that is what is being reflected now in the price. Who would be SYZ's competitors, and how are they faring? Is there another company within that space that might fare better under present conditions? Thanks.

Q: I have some US dollars to invest. What do you think of the growth prospects for this company. I see a trailing PE of 18 times and a forward PE of less than 9. Or is there something else you like better.
As always thanks for your help.

Q: It looks like Kraken Sonar started trading on the Venture Exchange on Tuesday via a reverse takeover. I was greatly impressed by the images from their sonar compared to sonar in use today (reminds me of images from Avigilon cameras compared to those in use now). Can you tell me anything else about this company.

Q: Hi Peter,
Would like your opinion on the new Brookfield proposal with Armtec. Assuming no buyer is found, it looks like Brookfield gets the assets for the debt and the current shareholders get to keep their shares in a company with no assets or liabilities. Very unusual!

Q: A stock split is not a taxable event, What about stock dividend? Would it means that I will be taxed on certain amount representing half of the value of stock at the time of declaration?

Q: Good day,

Healthy drops on each of these two companies today. Any cause for concern or just profit taking with each seeing all time highs this week? Assuming that both are held at a position size that could be comfortably expanded would you suggest buying more on the dip, holding or even reducing?

Thanks!

Q: Just to clarify an answer to an earlier question are you saying that having a portfolio with say 8 etfs is not a good idea because that's way too many holdings, you say around 20 is a good number. Vthanks

Q: Hi - with the ETF - CDZ at 20% energy content, how do you view the risks to this ETF regarding these companies not being able to grow dividends in a prolonged and depressed energy environment. Does this change your outlook on CDZ as conservative, diversified dividend-grower ETF in Canada? Or, does this just mean CDZ cleans out the non-growers and looks elsewhere rebalancing to it's "aristocrat" rules as it moves on? Outlook and views on CDZ appreciated. cheers and thanks...
