Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: At today's current valuation and forward outlook which do you prefer? A short explanation would be great, plus how long do you thing these "picks and shovels" stocks have to go before spending slows down? Would you prefer the companies with the access to the "data" to be more of a longer term AI strategy? Thx.

Q: My niece is looking to enter the DIY investing world and move her TFSA over to an online self-directed account. Her advisor has her in these high fee accounts above. These look like funds for a retired person looking for income rather than for a 29 year looking to grow a TFSA with the goal to hopefully get a down payment for a condo some day. Could you please give some advice for a beginner investor, ETF's some Canadian and US equities to get her started. She's a bit nervous as all ne DIY investors are. Thank you

Q: Good morning all; Could I get your assessment of Trex for 3-5 year hold. The products seem to have broad appeal; particularly in what will at some point become a growing build and reno (their primary customer) environment. The breadth of product offering is expanding annually. With $1B + and growing sales, an aggressive "sustainability" effort and decent margins this stock is intriguing after yesterday's 6% decline (not sure why it declined so much).

Q: Thomson Reuters via LSEG Stock Report Plus (on the iTrade platform) gives LLY-N an Average Score of 4 out of 10. From my perspective, this is a low score given the momentum in the stock price of LLY-N. Any insights about this conundrum, at least in my mind?.....As it makes me wonder about continuing to hold a small position in LLY-N.....Thanks......Tom

Q: pCELH seems to be in a good sub-category of consumer discretionary focussed on fitness, weight loss, and wellness.

They seem to have a good advertising and social media strategy: https://www.brandcredential.com/post/unveiling-the-celsius-marketing-strategy

The recent distribution deal with Pepsi-Co should bring new growth opportunities, and all financial metrics look great.

I was really interested in this company until I heard the Celsius management team speak to investors on a recent investor call (Everecore ISI). They did not sound very mature or well prepared.

Putting that aside, would you see any problem to own both monster, and Celsius since they are going after different demographics? Is Celsius the Lululemon of energy drinks - possibly minus the management team?
