Q: I hold CROX and 2024 has been a roller coaster ride. Still up a bit though.
I am looking for clarity on holding it, based on 2 recent responses.
Dec 13, Dick asked about top 3 growth stocks in USA, and CROX made that coveted list.
Jan 22, Dave asked to rank 6 specific stocks for growth, based on 2025 estimates. On that puny list, CROX ended up last, with 0% growth forecast.
I cannot rationalize those two responses. In one case, it is one of the top stocks in America; in the other, it is last amongst six. Looking for clarity on what to think of CROX for 2025. Many thanks.

Q: I hold these REITs in a diversified portfolio. They have not been performing and are mostly close to 52 week lows. Do you see upside in these? What is your view on holding REITs like these? Should I be switching them out for something else or am I being the typical investor considering selling at the bottom :-)

Q: Hi 5i Team,
I want to add some exposure to the gold sector to my portfolio. What would you suggest given the current market? Gold bullion ETF (CGL), Equity ETF (XGD or ZGD) or invest directly in a Gold producer like AEM ? And what % would you suggest for a mid-40 investor?
Thanks

Q: I’ve owned AAPL for the past 15 years+ and it now represents a 3.5% position of my overall portfolio. 10 years from retirement with a risk reward appetite leaning to measured risk. Top holdings in order are BN, GOOG, NVDA, AMAZ, WSP, BkNG, CSU, ISRG, V, AXON then AAPL. If it’s you, do you keep it or find something with a better growth trajectory? I’m over in consumer discretionary and under in staples so wondering if a move to DOL makes sense? Thoughts?

Q: Looking to sell LYB and purchase one of these two preferred shares can you tell me which one you prefer and why ? Both these stocks have wild fire issues out west in the USA. Maybe I should just be more patient with LYB to grow thus getting a capital gain as the dividends are about the same.

Q: Other than the joint venture partners, what companies do think will benefit the most from the AI infrastructure plan introduced by Pres. Trump on Tuesday? I suspect VRT and CLS will benefit, but I am sure there are others in AI support businesses.
