Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i,
WDO is reporting earning on Mar 10- ...Are market expectations for WDO to meet, not meet or beat previous guidance?
Do analysts have access to other data ect that they use to then "calculate" their own numbers to arrive at so called "whisper" numbers?

Nuvei pre-announced earnings very positively a number of weeks ago...Is the market expectation that the actual announced earnings will be positive.

Thx
JIm

Q: I have a loss over 22% in DND in my non registered account. Would it make sense to high grade to one of the other three given current sell off in all four stocks? Which one would provide the best long term growth?
Thank you

Q: Interested in your opinion.
tks
Sherrill

Q: What is their balance sheet, would you buy them today and in what order?

Thanks,
Milan

Q: I have these tech companies in my TFSA. Can you tell me which companies you like and which you don't and why? Do you think I have too many Tech companies? I show a profit in all but KXS, CGY, NVEI. Thanks 5i.

Q: Good morning,

I have a basket of tech stocks that I am looking to add a few names too. Those already held include CSU, KXS, LSPD, ENGH, CTS, DND, and REAL. What stocks of the ones listed would you add to today for long-term hold? Thanks.

Q: Hello,
I have new money to allocate. Which ones of these are your favorites for 5 year + hold notwithstanding they have different risk profile and in different sectors (best overall risk / reward. I am underweight small cap). I already own KXS and ENGH but i could add to existing positions. Thank you!

Q: Would you be comfortable starting a long term position in Nuvei?

Q: Hi, These companies are generally liked by 5i and we have holdings in each as follows
TIXT 0.5%,
DND 1% and
NVEI 1.5%
TIXT was recently added to your Growth Portfolio with 2.5% position.
Although, they operate in different areas of technology, from the future Growth perspective, how would you rate them in order, if we have some cash to add. Also, it would help, if you could provide rationale behind your decision to add TIXT to Growth portfolio, vis a vis DND and NVEI. Thank You

Q: Hi 5i
I see that Nvei has done a pre-release of earnings, which you have already commented on as being very good

Is there some indication when they plan the actual earnings release?

Given the recent share price run up what would your expectations be for share price after the actual earnings? A further run up or not?
Thx
Jim

Q: Hi,
What price would you recommend to buy and sell LSPD, NEVI and TOI?

Thank you.

Q: Can you please comment on NVEI preliminary results. Thanks

Q: In my TSFA have equal weightings of PHO, REAL, WELL and XBC. Have additional funds to invest and was thinking of following AT, CTS, KRR, MCR, NVEI, or QST. You have suggested ATZ, GSY, or KXS which own most elsewhere to was looking to something new. How would you rank these stocks and would you have any better suggestions?

Q: Hi 5i team,
With the current market volatility, I want to review my tech holdings and dispose of weaker ones. The review criteria are: 1. Profitable 2. Double digit revenue growth forecast 3. Healthy balance sheets. From the listed companies above, which do NOT meet these criteria? Many thanks.

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: Hi 5i,

First of all, thanks for your advise to help me understand more for the US & Canadian stock markets. I have a feeling that the US market will end the over 10 years bull market soon and bear market will come in. Due to the issue of GME, BB, NOK, and AMC showing many "NEW" investors involve the US and Canadian market (because of the BB), specially the Reddit social media investor forums is not healthy. I guess the Canadian market may also affected, due to the BB issue. Just in case the bear market will come, what the above stocks need to be sold to play safe. I am thinking to sell KXS, LSPD, and NVEI, those stock prices may not be survival during the big drop in coming. Do you have the same feeling that the bear market will come? Can you please rank the above stocks able to survival during the bear market and please suggest to take off any just in case the worst worst things really happen.

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: Hello,

What do you think of BR, and also could you please share your favorite fintech companies in both Canada and US?

Thank you

Q: What would you consider a good entry point on a pull back for each stock?

Q: I've owned ENGH for over a year and disappointed at its lack of traction. Would you do a flip of ENGH (closed at $61.85 as of 1/26) for NVEI (closed at $68.26 as of the same day) as a better name for a long term hold? If not NVEI can you recommend other names. Thanks.
