Q: How will Trump’s tariff policy impact Canadian companies operating in the United States? Taking ATZ as an example, will the tariffs raise Aritzia's costs, making their clothing less competitive in the U.S. and potentially slowing their expansion there? Additionally, which Canadian companies with U.S. operations are most likely to feel the effects of these tariffs?

Q: Hi Group can you please rate in order of your preference for short term trading not to buy and hold . Give me the ones with the most potential to grow. Most of the ones I have identified have been in the tank lately and should be ripe for some sort of recovery. Also if you have any good ideas that fit the criteria please feel free to add/rate the opportunity as you see it.

Q: I would like to express my gratitude for your advice regarding not selling Aritzia stock before earnings. At the time, I was primarily concerned with safeguarding my gains. You wisely emphasized that quarterly results should not be the sole factor in determining buy and sell decisions. Now, I fully appreciate the correctness of your advice. I held onto my position and refrained from purchasing a protective put. Recent news indicates that Aritzia is aggressively expanding its presence in the US, signaling further growth. As a result, I am still enjoying a remarkable 100% gain on this stock. Thank you once again!

Q: Good morning 5i, I've held CCL.B for a few years and until the positive results in the 1st Q this year giving it a bump it has been a slow grower. I'm considering moving on to something with more momentum. Two questions: What are your thoughts on CCL.B for the next 3-5 years?, and if it were to be sold, what are your top picks in the consumer cyclical sector, Cdn or U.S. for growth and ideally a small dividend? I already have ATD and BYD.
Thank you

Q: Hello, I own Aritzia stock. I purchased it at its lowest point in 2023, and now it has increased by 63%. The company’s quarterly earnings release is scheduled for July 11. However, I have concerns that the earnings may not be ideal. To preserve my profit, I’m considering either selling the stock or buying a put option. It’s important to note that this stock is in my cash account, so selling it would have tax consequences. I would greatly appreciate your professional advice. Thank you!

Q: My industrial portfolio currently has a light exposure to the industrial sector. I’d like to diversify by adding some industrial stocks in the US and Canada. Additionally, in the consumer sector, I already hold ATD, TOY, PBH, ULTA, and COST.

Q: I am looking to add BKNG to my Consumer Cyclicals. Currently I have a ATZ, LULU, MG, LNF, DOO, and CROX.

Long term growth investor.

Would you suggest trimming across the board or are there any names you would swap if one wanted to high grade their portfolio.
