Investment Q&A

Q: I'm looking for some of your expert advice. I am down in OTEX which I own in a taxable account. It is currently yielding a decent dividend. I am thinking of selling it after the X dividend date for the capital loss, and perhaps buying GIB.A. The latter does not pay a dividend but the stock is performing better. Do you sanction both parts of this trade? Do you think the OTEX dividend will be safe in the future?
Thanks, as always, for your advice.

Q: If the fear of higher interest rates was causing the share prices of tech companies to fall, why would share prices rise today (April 13) with the announcement of a 0.5% rate increase?

Q: I am considering the purchase of one of the two above securities, Accenture or CGI. Which of the two would you recommend and your reasons. Your overall comments would be appreciated. Thank You

Q: can I please have your thoughts on this one...why the sell off and do you think there is value at an entry point around here...107ish? for a 2-4 yr hold?

Q: I hold the above positions in a TFSA in the respective % amounts: 5.2, 5.5, 4.1, 1.93. I am considering selling GIB.A and AMZN and acquiring either TOI or perhaps for a little more torque LSPD. Which of the 2 would you suggest or any other proxies?

Q: Would you swap a position in CGI for ACN ( I hold in a registered account)? CGI's price appreciation has been underwhelming over the past 5 years compared to ACN.
Anything in particular about ACN's services or management quality that allows it to dominate CGI?

Q: Please list around 5 TECH stocks that you like in US or CAD that are not 'expensive' when compared to the high fliers with little to no earnings. Please exclude the FB, GOOG, APPL, AMZN, NVDA and MSFT.
Thank you.

Q: Morning 5i Team,

I currently hold a full position in OTEX and am thinking of switching to either GIB or ENGH.

I would like to get your thoughts on this and which one of GIB and ENGH would be your choice if I indeed decided to switch. Or are there others options (regardless of sectors) that would be your choice.
Cheers,
H

Q: Good morning. Would like your thoughts on this company and if at all it would be a stock to add to a portfolio

Q: I have been holding both GIB.A and OTEX for years. They are slow growth amount the tech sect. I would like to increase my growth and wonder if I drop one and replace it with more growth name. Which one would you suggest to drop and replace with ?. Your guidance on this matter is much appreciated. Thanks.

Q: Good afternoon,
I have about a 5% of both LNR and MG in my TFSA and have owned them since 2017.
Although I have seen reasonable returns LNR has lagged behind MG. I'm looking to sell LNR and get into something that has more growth can you please suggest two or three Canadian companies and a possible entry point.

Also I have owned AQN sing March 2020 and it has not done anything and thinking of switching over to POW BAM.A or any other suggestions and a possible entry point.

Thanks.

Joe

Q: What is your opinion on earning?
Thank you

Q: Hello 5i Team,
Which will be your first choice for a long term hold? Thank you

Q: Hi Peter & Ryan,
As a long-term holder of CGI accrued solid returns past 5 years. When compared against competitor Accenture CGI is a laggard. I'm considering swapping GIB.A for ACN. What's holding me back is the higher valuation multiple on ACN. Arguably GIB.A is better value but... Some of my holdings are in registered accounts so tax is not a consequence. As always your wisdom-filled feedback on the potential of this trade is welcome. TIA for commentary.

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
