Q: Can you explain atz’s secondary offering please

Q: I own theses two stocks
Atz is up 100plus percent and is 3 percent of portfolio
Cls $200 is up 200us percent and is 4 percent of portfolio
Would u advise trimming or selling at these prices? Or do u think the valuation is still reasonable so I can wait for them to run a bit
At what price would u think of trimming ?
Thanks

Q: I see you have ATZ in your tariff stock screener for discretionary. I have a 5.5% position - would you be reducing this if you had such a position? Thanks!

Q: For the two situations below, if you were to buy only one of these two stocks at today’s prices, which would it be?

1. ATZ or DOO

2, BEP.UN or FTS

Thank you

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: Could you please rank the following in terms of 2 year growth prospects, irregardless of risk? (first most growth, on down the road....) Thank you!

TD, SHOP, VIU, BN, RTX, ROAD, UBER, GLXY, CRM, TRI, ATZ

Q: I hold a small position of CROX in my TFSA and non-registered accounts with a small gain. With slowing growth in the forseable future, I am contemplating selling. Am I too quick to give up on CROX? If I sell what could you recommend I replace it with?Either Canadian or US exchanges. I would be leaning for a suggestion more suitable for TFSA account.
Many thanks

Q: I would appreciate an updated opinion on Groupe Dynamite. Thanks!

Q: Hi, for smaller cap companies, what would be your max position sizing for someone that is a medium/high growth oriented investor. What are some criteria's you look at when sizing a position depending on if it is small, mid, or large cap? Beta/volatility, cyclicality? I'm guiding towards 5-8% for larger cap names such as CSU, BN, BKNG, GOOG, etc... and 2-3% for smaller names such as LMN, TVK, PRL, WELL, VHI, ATZ, etc.. I know for more volatile names, a smaller position can have just as large an impact in a portfolio. Thanks!

Q: Hello, I own above for my RSP... Obviously, I am disappointed with Telus and BCE and I am down some 25%.. I can understand BCE's poor management, but how about Telus? also in the dumpsters.
If I sell Telus and BCE, do you suggest that I add to one of the above as I want to keep my holdings to 10-12 stocks . Any suggestions?
Thanks

Q: Could you please comment on the quarter - markets have reacted very positively. Given that strong jobs data should bolster consumer spending could you comment future prospects for Aritzia. I have a half position and am considering adding for my TFSA. It’s my only consumer position and am looking for growth with a multi-year horizon.
Thanks!

Q: Good day and happy New Year to all the 5i staff. This is my first, and hopefully last multi stock question.

I am really beginning to take Trump seriously about tariffs. His reasons don’t hold up, but I believe he has unstated reasons of his own for wanting to do so. I don’t usually jump quickly but I have a bad feeling and am thinking of selling some Canadian holdings and buying US. I am wondering what you would think of this?

Even if my fear is justified, though, some of the stocks I am considering may do well under Trump’s regime, anyway. The above stocks are the ones i am considering and i would appreciate your views on whether they might do alright under Tariffs? Any other Canadian stocks you might think will react particularly badly?
Thanks for your great service

Q: Why the big bounce today??
