Q: Hi 5i
Each of these stocks represent between 2-3 1/2 % of my
portfolio.
Thinking of boosting some up to between 4 1/2 to 5%.
None are at a loss.
Any thoughts of an order to do this?
Thx

Q: I'm up over 200% on CELH (thanks!) and although I don't see any red flags, I think it's time to trim back from an 11% holding. I've had LMN on my watch list for some time, do you think trimming CELH and buying LMN would give me a similar growth profile stock? Does LMN also trade on the US markets so I could keep my currency in USD?

Q: Hi guys
Northwest Company keeps hitting new lows. I see current earnings of 2.42 and a PE of 12.6. Do you know what the earning are expected to be for 2024? I am assuming one reason the stock has dropped so much was because sales would have been negatively affected in their stores in the North West Territories in towns like Yellowknife and Hay river. I guess we will see how significant that is when earning are released on September 13th.

At these levels how compelling a buy do you consider NWC? I am thinking of adding to my position but it still would be less than a 3% weight.

Thanks for everything you folks do.

Q: Hello 5i Team,

I'm creating TFSAs for my two children, and I would like to purchase a basket of 15-20 Canadian stocks and CIBC CDRs, since their accounts are commission-free.

Could you please recommend some names for me to consider with a focus on growth while maintaining some sector diversity.

Would you recommend adding a global ETF for geographical diversity? If so, what?

Feel free to subtract as many credits as you see fit.

Thanks, as always, for your helpful advice.

Q: Do you consider either railway a good new investment right now? I used your interactive chart to compare the two, and if you bought CNR 10 years ago you are probably pretty happy, but over the last 5 years CP outperformed, and ytd CP has ground up a bit while CN has drifted down. In the current interest rate environment I don’t think anyone is buying either for the dividend? Is there an investment thesis here somewhere or are there just plain better ideas? Thanks for your thoughts.
