Q: Hello Peter,
Below is an extract from S"E"D"I" showing an officer of Enghouse being short 20,000 shares of the company. He is long 30,000 options but it seems strange that an officer would actually sell his companies shares short. Not a big short position but still strange in my opinion. Any comment on the short position, and any thoughts on the merit of adding to an initial ESL position at this time. The other holdings in this area are AVO and CSU.
Many thanks.

Q: Hello. From a technical perspective ESL seems to have incurred a slight setback in the April/May timeframe and appears to be recovering and resuming it's trend. Are you aware of whether this setback was related to some specific event or whether it was related to external events and is this still considered a viable entry point for this stock? Thank you.

Q: I own 200 shares of Enghouse ESL, so around $6,500 worth. I cannot decide if I should add another $6,500 to ESL or by Sylogist syz for that same amount. I seem to think I will reduce risk having two companies in the same space in case one goes up and one goes down. What do you do? Buy more of the same company or diversify with another one in the same sector. Thanks for everything.

Q: I already have AVO and doing very good as well as a small position in CMI and looking to buy another Technology co. but cannot decide between ESL & SYZ. Both look very good. What would you suggest and why. Good appreciation with less risk would be best right now. ESL has taken a substantial downturn and SYZ on the financing so I am undecided on what to buy, or would you suggest another from your list.

Thanks, Doug

Thanks

Q: Good Afternoon Peter
I already own a 1.5% position in Enghouse [ESL]. I am planning to put an additional 4.1% of my portfolio into other Infotech stocks and am focusing on Constellation [CSU], Open Text [OTC], and Descartes [DSG].
Would you spread the purchase over all three stocks or just pick one or two and what would your choice be?
Many thanks for your previous advice......Paul
