Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Thanks to your excellent recommendations 2020 has been a record year for my family’s portfolio. Thank-You.
However, I feel like I need to consolidate some of the tech companies I own so when their prices rise I will have more torque. Which of the above companies would you suggest I merge, drop, or even add? Growth is my only objective.
Enjoy the holidays.

Q: The average P/E of my stock and ETF portfolio (63) reflects the tech/momentum binge I've been on since Spring 2020. I'm considerably overweight in tech yet I'm finding it difficult to jettison or trim any of my names in that sector. Can you please help by identifying 5 of these that you're less bullish on compared to the others? I have a reasonably long investment horizon and good risk tolerance (5 yrs until my children's post-secondary education and ~20 until retirement). Thanks again.

Q: I know it’s a good problem to have but my listed tech stocks have done really well thanks in part to recommendations from 5i. So much so that I now have 41% in the tech sector. Since selling my mutual funds and establishing my own portfolio, your guidance and suggestions have been so much appreciated. It seems that other sectors may be the place to be as we come out of the pandemic. The issue is that these are for the most part proven quality stocks. I’m not keen on selling any of these. Does one bite the bullet and sell some ? If so suggestions are appreciated? Or does one just trim profit and migrate into other sectors and buy more of companies like DOO GSY and WELL? Thanks

Q: Hi Peter,
I asked this question several yrs ago; If you became a fund manager again starting this week, what would be the first stock you would want to buy? Your answer was CSU:ca

Now that you are becoming a fund manager again, what would be the first stock you plan to buy? That's if you can answer. Thanks

Q: Volaris Group, a Constellation Software Company, Enters into Agreement to Acquire SSP Limited

Little info on the deal as usual but looks like a great acquisition as SaaS is right in their wheel house. SSP Ltd is among Top 500 cloud software vendors according to the google search I did. What does 5i think of this deal?

Thanks
Dave

Q: Thanks for this great service. In your answer to Jeff on November 30 you indicate that "6 shares of CSU would probably be the best 'small' amount of shares, to get 11 Topicus shares" which I guess is true for a conversion of 1.8598 and no partial shares. Would it not be better to have 7 CSU and get an extra 2 Topicus? I calculate you would get the following: 6=11, 7=13, 14=26, 21=39 .etc. Sorry if I have missed something but I went away thinking of multiples of 6 but 7 may be better.

Q: I hold the above companies in my TFSA and they represent my Tech holdings. I am getting a little overweight in my tech sector and am wondering if any of my holdings are in essence duplications. If so could you recommend which ones to sell.
I have a list of buys, including CAE, TFII, XBC, GOOS, and would redeploy the capital plus some of my cash to these positions. Of my potential buys in what order would you see as the best opportunities.

Q: Could you rank these companies in order of preference for future performance? Investing a lump sum gradually over the next 6 to 12 months and I have zero tech exposure right now.

Thanks,

Q: Hi. My daughter is looking to add a US tech stock to a portfolio that follows your balanced portfolio with some added US stocks and International ETFs. She currently owns 4 tech stocks; CSU, LSPD, KXS and NVDA. She is 21 yo and looking for long term growth. We are wondering if U is a better addition than TEAM (I am already following TEAM as I own it, but would consider selling it for a better company as I like to limit myself to following about 35 stocks). Any better suggestions? TTD? We both already own VEEV (under healthcare).

Q: Could you please rank above Tech stocks in order of preference that you would purchase or hold right now. I have all except CRWD and U, but they seem to be coming up in your lists more frequently.

Asking the same question today, what would your updated list look like?
