Q: Hi Peter and 5iresearch team:
In your answer to Gerry's question on Feb 16, you mentioned that CSU and ATB have been the best Canadian compounders over the last ten years. You added DOL, BYD, TFII, BN, CLL.B, TRI based on historical performance and you are expecting LMN.V, TVK, HPS.A, TOI, GSY to be potential Canadian compounders in the future.

1. Would YOU still invest in CSU, ATB, DOL, BYD, TFII, BN, CLL.B, TRI with the same conviction and weighting?
2. Could you please provide a similar answer but for the US market? Please provide 10 or so best US compounders based on historical performance that YOU think investors should keep investing in and 5 or so US companies that YOU would buy as potential US compounders in the future.

Thank you for the great service.

Q: In a recent answer, 5i suggested that CELH may be a multi-bagger “ IF, and only IF, it follows MNST’s pattern of market-share gains and profitability. “ Could you please describe MNST’s business model of market gains and profitability? To date, how close has CELH matched MNST’s playbook, accounting for time in the market? What are the key attributes that CELH needs to build/hone/display, in order to match MNST’s playbook?

Q: On CNBC on Friday Tom Lee disclosed these 20 as his "Epicentre Stock Portfolio" and opined that the bottom is in. He seems to be quite revered and apparently his calls have been more correct than not. Could you list your best seven from this list that you would buy today in order. Any other comment of course welcomed as well - Ken

Q: My advisor has suggested I average down buy these two stocks PEP and K (underwater on both). I'm hesitant to proceed that way and would rather look at consumer discretionary ideas with more growth. What would you suggest? I consider myself an aggressive investor. Looking for a 2-3 year hold.

Thanks, as always for th great advise.

Q: Hi : What's your view on Monster Beverage? It screens well (based on pre-CoVid data) but I am unsure how its business will be affected by the CoVid situation. Are there other companies in the same space that you like better?

Thanks for your insight,

JohnR

Q: Hi Peter, there seems to be an investigation on management on Monster Beverages. I've made decent returns already so the question is, from your experiences, should I sell as soon as possible or is this lawsuit being blown out of proportion? I haven't dealt with a stock that has been accused of falsifying financial statements until now (thank goodness!).
