Q: I have 15% of my well diversified portfolio in Tech stocks. I am thinking of consolidating my 7 stocks into a smaller number of stocks - perhaps down to 5. I have 2%-3% in all the mentioned companies except SYZ at 1%. Any suggestions as to which companies to sell and which ones to "top up" would be appreciated, or maybe just leave as is.

Q: Hello Peter,
I own sj, csu, esl, and gib.a. All of them are down more than 10%-15%. My weightings range from 2 to 4 percent. Is it best to just keep the weightings as they are for long term or reduce them. Much appreciated.Umed

Q: Can you please briefly compare the 3 tagged companies in terms of how cheap they are on a valuation basis, their international exposure, and their expected growth rates?

If you had to pick 1 or 2 of them to put money in now what would you choose?

Thank you.

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan
CGI has done very well for me and I am considering trimming it and applying the funds to FLIR, a company you have frequently recommended. Could I have your opinion on this move?
Thanks for everything. ( Really like the changes! Between you and your clients I am learning daily. Also reading Market Masters. Great read.)

Q: Could you please look into the numbers released by CGI. Do you think looking past the 50 and 200 day moving average would be a better gauge for a purchase since it has broken through both? Many have thought we would have heard of a fairly large acquisition by now...any thoughts on this as well?
Thank you as always Jason N

Q: You just answered a question for Doris on the relative merits of CGI and Enghouse. You were quite definite in your opinion on the superior quality of ESL management, but you lost me after that. The wording of your answer implied that a large backlog for ESL was not a good thing to have. More importantly however, on valuation, I am getting much higher P/E values and much lower Growth/P/E values for ESL from my usual financial information source.
Am I misunderstanding your answer, or is your valuation based on parameters that I have not considered?

Q: Hi there,

GIB.A seems to be a favorite among analysts on BNN with numerous "Top Pick" designations in the past month. ESL looks pretty nice on it's chart but is less talked about. Would you recommend one over the other for someone needing exposure to this sector? If you could answer which is your preferred and why it would be a big help.

Q: I've been watching this stock since last yr when it was $39.00 and was reluctant to buy because I am retired and usually buy only stocks that pay a div. & have a history of incr. same. I am sitting on a lot of cash & since I hold all the blue chip financials and a few oil stocks perhaps I should bite the bullet and buy CGI? Is it too expensive now? I have a separate USD portfolio and would not put more money in there as our $ is too low right now.
