Q: Over the last couple of months a lot of Canadian tech stocks have seen huge gains in a very short time.

CSU from $1,730 to $2,130
DCBO from $65 to $104;
DSG from $70 to $97;
KXS from $135 to $199;
LSPD from $85 to $131;
MAGT from $26 to $55;
NVEI from $100 to $161;
TOI from $80 to $125.

1) Do you think this is getting overdone and are we due for some kind of correction in this sector?

2) Are any of the above still good buys after these large, rapid price increases?

3) Are there any Canadian tech stocks that have "missed the party" so to speak, haven't seen large rapid price increases like those above, and are good buys currently?

Thanks.

Q: I'm looking to reduce the overall amount of positions. Of my tech names which would you suggest selling?

From what I can gather you prefer NVDA to AMD and would suggest one of either SHOP or LSPD. Is this accurate? Other suggestions or ideas to pair down?

Thank you very much

Q: How would you rank the above 3 stocks for growth? CTS is much smaller but valuation appears to be better than the other 2 - can you please comment? Is debt a concern with any of these stocks? NVEI seems to be about the same size as LSPD - do you feel it is currently over-valued like LSPD? I recall 5i recently decreased the rating on LSPD from B+ to B.
Thank you!

Q: For a stock price to double in 5 years requires an average gain of about 15% compounded, annually. Would you please rank these 12 stocks in order for the likelihood, in your opinion, they will double in price in the next 5 years. Roughly how many of these 12 would you expect to achieve that target? Assuming no major long term market melt down which would preclude good stock performance over this period. CTS, DCBO, DND, DOO, ECN, GOOS, GSY, KXS, MG, NVEI, PHO, TIXT.

Q: In a broadly diversified portfolio, for a risk tolerant investor, how would you rate these stocks on a 1 - 10 scale, with a "10" meaning for sure you want this stock in your portfolio, and a "1" being you absolutely do not want this stock in your portfolio. Long term time horizon, looking for growth. AT, CTS, DCBO, DOC, DND, NVEI, TIXT, WELL, WISH.

Q: There are a lot of small to medium sized Canadian technology companies, some of them fairly new to the stock market, that have seen very good stock price appreciation in the last year or two. Many/most of these companies are not profitable, and obviously this is a fairly speculative segment of the market. Today, I heard Darren Sissons talking about JDS Uniphase which went from $2 to $1,000 and back to $2 in the tech bubble 21 years ago. I'm wondering about how many of these small to medium sized Canadian tech companies might suffer a similar fate, and how many will succeed. Of the following list of stocks, what would be your estimate for the % of them that will succeed 5 - 10 years down the road at becoming long term successful businesses, with strong profits and a substantially higher stock price than now, and what % will fall by the wayside, failing to become good profitable businesses, and seeing their stock price drop off substantially. There are no doubt others that could be included in this list, but these are the ones I have picked out. Not asking which ones will succeed, just trying to get an idea of general potential for success/failure for this type of company/stock. ADCO, AT, CTS, DCBO, DND, KSI, LSPD, MVP, NVEI, PHO, QUIS, STC, WISH.

Q: Hello 5i,
The above stocks have all pulled back between 13-22% recently.
What order, if at all, would you be adding to the positions?
Thank you
Dave

Q: First of all, thanks for the service you provide. I have found it extremely useful since becoming a member. Second, I apologize for the number of stocks covered in the question. If it is too many, please do not respond / post.
Within the last 12 months, I have purchased the above stocks strictly for growth or as momentum plays.
I would like to know which ones you would sell, either because their momentum has likely peaked, or because their share price growth prospects are poor. Please deduct as many credits as required. Thanks
