Investment Q&A

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

Q: I recall 5i stating in 2020 that DSG, KXS and PHO, all have no debt and significant cash reserves. Can you recommend 3 other good Canadian and 3 American growth stocks in a similar position.
Thanks you.

Q: I have held these companies for about a year and have basically broken even. Being retired now and partly relying on dividend income, would it be a good move to sell these 2 companies and invest in other blue chip dividend payers and forego possible capital appreciation in these stocks. It does seem to me that these 2 companies have languished compared to my other tech exposures. What 3 or 4 dividend payers would you recommend for stable dividend and increases and some growth potential.
Thanks, as always, for your informed input.

Q: I currently hold small positions, about 1%, of each of these stocks. Are they similar enough to consider consolidating into one holding? Which one would provide the better growth opportunity going forward?

Q: If you were to rank ENGH BAD and CAE in terms of growth over the next 2-5 years, what would that be and why. Thanks Dennis

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

In our combined portfolio, we own the following Technology stocks: CSU, ENGH, KXS, and OTEX. Since we hold OTEX in several different accounts within the portfolio, we were considering selling some OTEX and use the proceeds to buy some ABT. Would you be OK with such a move, or is ABT too expensive at the moment, since its RSI indicates that it may be slightly overbought? As always, your advice determines our course of action.

Q: Over the last 10-20 years, I have found that I have done the best buying and holding several smallish, but established companies that seem to have good long term growth prospects. Have made very large gains by holding stocks like CSU, BYD, PBH, WSP and GSY for 5, 10 or more years. I am trying to identify which smallish but established companies might be the best candidates to produce some very significant gains over the next 10+ years. Would you please rank the following in order according to which you think are the most likely to generate some very significant gains over that time frame. I hold the majority of these, but not in large positions, and there are a few I do not currently hold. Also, if you have another 2 or 3 companies that you think would fit this strategy, could you indicate which ones and where they would rank in the list. I'm not worried about sector, as my portfolio is well diversified, and I am tolerant of risk. Take how ever many credits you feel this question is worth. Thank you.
ABT, DOO, ECN, ENGH, GDI, GOOS, LSPD, PEO, REAL, SIS, TCS

Q: Please rank these stocks. Are they at a level that they could be bought today. For your highest ranked stock, why do you rank it higher than the others

Q: In the past you have noted that CSU is one of the best managed companies in Canada and there can be no argument there. Are they getting tired? In round terms CSU is up 20% in the past 1 year while ENGH is up 100%. Is it time for me to get off the CSU horse which has served me well. What would be your recommended replacement if yes please? Dam Dan

Q: I am a bit overweight on pipelines and think I should sell some Enbridge or Pembina and beef up a couple of my smaller tech holdings since we are a bit underweight on that right now. I already own enough CSU, KXS and OTEX but only partial positions of Enghouse and Descartes. We have bought and sold SHOP several times over the past year, making some good money so have treated it more like a trading stock and don't currently own it. Would you agree with buying more Enghouse and Descartes for the long term at this time or would you recommend something else?
