Q: Hello 5i Team,

I have done really well with CGI and am thinking of swapping it for KXS. This move is purely for growth, I am comfortable with risk and have a long time frame (3 to 5 years).
Conversely, I am significantly down on both MAXR and HCG, and am thinking of selling one to add to the other. Which one would you recommend keeping and why?
Please deduct credits as you see fit.

Thank you for spreading the wisdom.

BK

Q: I own GIB and have for several years. I'm thinking of selling some or all my position in GIB and purchasing OPTEX.
My reasoning is that although GIB may not be fully valued, its had a good run, OPTEX on the other hand may have more upside longer term.
Appreciate your feedback

Q: I have a question about CGI, which I've held since 2013, so I've done very well with them, but they don't have a dividend policy, so I'm feeling that the capital gain that I have is being lazy and not working for me without any divvy income to offset. If I was going to sell half, what would you suggest would be a good 3 to 5 year replacement to consider? I tend to favour medium to large caps, and mostly dividend payers. I also have Open Text and Syzlogist as other tech holdings, in a fairly diversified portfolio that includes international and US etf's. I currently do not have any resource/energy (I was thinking Vermillion) or consumer (I was thinking Loblaws or Metro, Dollarama looks expensive still)holdings.

thank you,

Q: Hi 5i Crew,

I am considering a entry position in CGI Group. I like the sector for future growth and am a believer that "buying at all time high" is a good strategy. My reservation is that it does not generate a dividend. I think if it did, 5i would be more favorable to the company (as I believe you are strong supporters of dividend stocks - for many good reasons). Question. Do you think CGI would consider initiating a dividend in the near term ?

Q: I have long watched CGI Group as an investment based on the advice of Jason Donville on BNN. He was always hyping to ROE being so high and seemed to have good results until he disappeared from the air in the wake of the Valeant and Concordia falls. CGI Group though seems to get lots of "Top Pick" calls on the shows but hasn't really done much. The RSI is down in the 30 range and I'm wondering if company fundamentals combined with the shares being oversold make this a good "trade" or a good opportunity to buy and hold?

Q: Greetings 5i team:
I own CGI Group in a non-registered account. Without regard to tax implications or trading costs, just looking at the fundamentals and expectations for each company, would you make a switch to either Open Text or Descartes assuming a 3 year or greater time frame?

Thanks as always for your analysis.

Q: Hi 5i: I want to buy SHOP, but am somewhat overweight in tech. I am considering selling either CGI Group or Decarte Systems (in which I have a double), or a bit of both, to make room. What would you advise? Many thanks. Roland
