Q: Good Morning;
Both companies appear to have been caught in recent Tech sector selloff. Both also continue to struggle to recover. Has anything changed in underlying fundamentals of either company that would cause concern or limit growth prospects going forward? In addition, was the market reaction extreme and would you expect a (partial) bounce back up or will both companies require some catalyst to maintain/gain growth and regain lost share value?
Thank you
Ian

Q: Hi 5i Team,
I had to dump TCEHY for a 15% loss today after riding it down from the highs based on continued negative volatility with the stock. I am thinking of buying some of your favorites to replace it, with stable growth in mind. I am looking for companies that have also pulled back recently, and that you consider a good buying opp today. I am looking at initiating a position in CSU, COV, PBH, and possible ADDING to TSGI as I am now down 20% on that one and am thinking that averaging down may be the thing to do here soon. Do you have any other better suggestions or top picks you can suggest? ( I already own TOY, PHO, GSY, FB, BABA, ENB, RHT, HD) Thanks for you input.
Shane.

Q: From Yahoo, they show the following:
KXS, 2018 EPS/.98 = PE 97.6 & 2019 EPS/1.33 = PE 71.9
Growth next 5 years est. of 19%

CSU, 2018 EPS/26.88 = PE 35.1 & 2019 EPS/31.94 = PE 29.5
Growth next 5 years est. of 16.6%
They say figures are CDN not US.

My question, what is the reason I should not sell all my KXS & buy CSU
based on above numbers?
Thank You

Q: Prices are down quite a bit from their highs.
Do you think one of the reasons for the decline is a switch by some investors from growth to value?
If so and faced with higher interest rates in the future it might time for you to consider starting a value equity model portfolio
Please comment

Q: Hi all at 5i, I have about 45k invested with only 5k in cash. I own all of the above names and was wondering if you were to free up some cash which of these stocks would you trim. If you think 5k in cash is enough, do you think any of these names would be good to trade for another name? Do you have any concerns over any of these names at this moment in time.

Feel free to deduct as many points as necessary.

Thanks,
Dan

Q: Hi 5i Team

I am starting a portfolio for my 20 year daughter and am looking for a suggestion for her first stock. She will not be needing the money for many years so it is a long term hold for her TSFA. I am open to Canadian and foreign stocks. What would you suggest?

Thanks

RB

Q: I own Constellation's debentures,with the drop in stock price do you think it would be a good idea to fill out my position with the shares.

I own Capstone Infrastructure preferred shares,and have done quite well owning them. Do you have any concerns about this preferred going forward?

Q: While FB was plummeting I sold my shares and locked in some gains. I used the money to buy shares in Constellation Software. I believe CSU will recover faster and keep growing. I feel that with the news of a slower growing user base and users being on FB for less time, it will take the market a long time to regain it's confidence in the company. Do you agree. Or should I just get back in at this lower price?
