Q: With soft drink sales lagging at Pepsi and Coke, what’s taking them so long to jump on Celsius? With Celsius shooting up the way it has the past year, do you think much of a premium to today’s price would still be required for the deal to be made?

Q: I have room for 5 or 6 more companies in my RRSP account. I am looking to add dividend paying stocks with some growth as I will not be needing this money for 10 years or so - thinking of AT&T, Pepsi, Sysco, Sylogist and OTEX - what do you think of these AND can you recommend any others that I can consider ? Your opinion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Q: Hi : What's your view on Monster Beverage? It screens well (based on pre-CoVid data) but I am unsure how its business will be affected by the CoVid situation. Are there other companies in the same space that you like better?

Thanks for your insight,

Q: Hello 5i,
I am up $3000 to $4000 on JPM, MMM, PEP and others. I am down $3000 on KWH, RME, TCL.A. and others. I do not need money and can stay invested in all. I am retired, 72, with good pensions. I am inclined to just stay put and collect dividends. Should I sell and apply the losses to the gains or just stay put as I am inclined to do?
Thanx,
Stanley

Q: Pepsi and Proctor and Gamble have both thaken about a four percent loss today. Pepsi took a loss yesterday, too, I believe because of sugar tax being imposed in certain cities. I am thinking about adding to my positions in these two on this drop. But, it seems to be a fairly large drop and I don't see any reason for it. I would, as usually, greatly appreciate your thoughts on this.
thanks
