Investment Q&A

Q: You guys at 5 i used to be high on a buy for Celsius Holdings. It bounces up and down 2 to 3 per cent almost daily but the overall trend as been lower highs and lower lows. I don't want to liquidate my position because of the international growth opportunities for Celsius and the possible normalization of inventory levels of their "healthy" energy drinks with their distributor who is Pepsi. But the trend is not my friend for celsius. I have traded it a couple of times to bring down my acb but even that is making me nervous. I don't have much exposure to consumer staple nor consumer discretionary (I assume Celsius is considered to be discretionary?) so if I cut losses with celsius, what should I consider as a replacement?

Q: I have made some updates to my portfolio before heading into the new year and am looking for your thoughts on total portfolio. I have it all in TFSA and am 28 years old with a long time horizon. Could you give me your opinion over next 1, 3, 5 years of portfolio.

What changes might you make to this portfolio to stengthen it?

Q: Hi There, I am trying to stear my portfolio decisions going into 2025, and looking for some of your feedback. I am 28 with 55k in myTFSA ( all after home purchase, so longer time horizon), I have about 5K of the 55K to invest, and the other 50K in the stocks below with their respective weightings of the 55K. I am trying to decide if I should add any other specific stocks or top up weightings to 2% on BSX / BKNG / ISRG / TSM / CELH / SMCI and add to CRWD, DIS, GOOGl, another 1.0%.

Are there any other stocks you would recommend to diversify this portfolio some more. Do you have any concerns with any holdings or their weightings?

Q: Any comments/opinions about the pending lawsuit?

Q: Hi team, is it too early to start picking away? Does the future look promising?
Thx

Q: Hi Folks,
I hold CELH in my non registered account. Would now be a good time to sell to harvest a tax loss. Also, would you buy it back after the 30 days or would you move on to something else. If moving on, can you recommend 2 or 3 other small cap names for me to look at?
Thanks

Q: Good Morning,

Assuming the fundamentals don't deteriorate, at what price range would you start to get interested in CELH again and watch for the potential of a recovery?

I was lucky enough to be playing with house money in this decline and have since exited, so I'm just observing the stock at the moment.

Thank you.

Q: I saw some of your comments on CELH performance being poor and that it's "supposed to be a growth stock". What about purchasing it and considering it more of a value stock play?

I started a small position and looking at a 4+ year hold.

It's very popular on tiktok and with people who are super into fitness and it's so much better than monster and reb bull.

Q: I am considering moving on from CELH and NXT. Do you feel there are more attractive replacements for these names today?

Q: How would you rank the above listed companies today for a long term hold?

Q: Can you please comment on CELH earnings? Is it as bad as it looks, still a hold or starting to look like business fundamentals are on the downturn and not just temporary weakness in the energy drink sector? Thx

Q: Good day,

Based on my last question, Your order was

____________________
We would rank, today: GOOG, ISRG, SHOP, AEM, CROX, ATD, WPM, LUG, ATS, NTR, TMDX, CELH, BCE, GAU
____________________

These were my proposed and current holdings. My investment account is not unlimited, and many of my "concerning holdings" are in the bottom half of the list, and although they are currently 5i holds, would 5i get out of them to initiate positions in more lucrative opportunities?

IE, would 5i move CELH, TMDX, ATS, and CROX to the "sell" column if it meant being able to initiate positions in GOOG, ISRG, SHOP, and AEM?


Thanks for everything!

Q: Good Day,


Rough day in the markets Thursday. After mine and other questions, getting a sort of analysis paralysis trying to make the 'right' move. Some (potentially) attractive dips, and Looking to set up the accounts for the next couple months.

Current concerning holdings. Hold, Sell, or add?

ASPN
ATS
CELH
CRNT
CROX
SMCI
TMDX

For the adds and holds, please rank with the following names in terms of highest conviction and total returns in the coming year. Knowing you can't get personal, what would be the highest portfolio percentage you would think would be appropriate for each given the nature/stage of the lifecycle each is in?

GOOG NTR ATD LUG GAU AEM WPM BCE SHOP ISRG

Thanks for everything!

Thank you for answering my question yesterday. We are looking at replacing CELH (-50%), CTRA (-3%), and NXT (-23%) in a TFSA or RRSP.
