Investment Q&A

Q: Hello Team,

Are you able to rank (1 to 13) the above companies on which ones you would purchase today based on pullbacks and who you think has the most upside over the next 2-3 years. Thanks.

Q: How do you view CELH now given their earnings and acquisition?

Q: Good evening, what do you think of CELH moving up their earnings date to tomorrow from Mar? Have you seen this before? Why don’t think management would do this? The stock moved up on the news. Does it signal that it may be all that bad?

Thanks

Q: Which did think has more growth potential for a 5 year period?

Q: Hello 5i,

The quarter has been quite a ride so far. Get a sniff of a miss or lower guidance and stocks drop faster than a toboggan coming down Mt Everest.

Do you have any recommendations that appear to be Buys if you don’t already have a position? Some examples are: DDOG, VRT, TTD, TMDX, SPSC, CELH, CLBT, ROAD, CECO, APPF, ASPN, POWL, (electrical grid suppliers), and any other intriguing opportunity? The purchases would be for a 3-5 year hold.

If feels like the tipping point for earnings for many companies has been reached. If a looming reporting date is like a 5-alarm fire warning to get ready to bail water and run for the hills, which sounds like… opportunity!

Thank you for all of your help and wisdom.

Q: Completely ignoring CELH's past - just looking forward - how attractive is this company's present valuation? I'm trying to gauge it based on its long term forecasted growth (i.e. present P/E and P/S). Can you comment on PEG? How do these metrics, and any other, compare to a typical company with a similar market cap and projected growth?

Q: I hold these small/mid cap stocks. Most have done well.

It looks like the interest rates vs inflation discussion isn’t going away soon and rates may be higher for longer. With this as the backdrop and current uncertainty around the markets is this a time to lighten up on Small/Mid cap stocks and take some profit? Or would you hold?

Thanks
Tim

Q: I used to have a position in Celsius, but I exited it a while back when market sentiment became negative on the company. It has been a falling knife for many months: do you see any point at which it might begin a recovery, or do you see this as a company that could ultimately become bankrupt?


I don’t normally make an investment habit of bottom feeding, but the level of the drop has intrigued me to a degree. I’d really appreciate your insight on this company. Thanks so much, and I look forward to your response.

Q: What are you expecting from CELH heading into earnings?

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: I have made some updates to my portfolio before heading into the new year and am looking for your thoughts on total portfolio. I have it all in TFSA and am 28 years old with a long time horizon. Could you give me your opinion over next 1, 3, 5 years of portfolio.

What changes might you make to this portfolio to stengthen it?

Q: Hi There, I am trying to stear my portfolio decisions going into 2025, and looking for some of your feedback. I am 28 with 55k in myTFSA ( all after home purchase, so longer time horizon), I have about 5K of the 55K to invest, and the other 50K in the stocks below with their respective weightings of the 55K. I am trying to decide if I should add any other specific stocks or top up weightings to 2% on BSX / BKNG / ISRG / TSM / CELH / SMCI and add to CRWD, DIS, GOOGl, another 1.0%.

Are there any other stocks you would recommend to diversify this portfolio some more. Do you have any concerns with any holdings or their weightings?

Please deduct however many questions you feel necessary, I don't often ask Q's.

Q: Any comments/opinions about the pending lawsuit?

Q: Hi team, is it too early to start picking away? Does the future look promising?
Thx

Q: Hi Folks,
I hold CELH in my non registered account. Would now be a good time to sell to harvest a tax loss. Also, would you buy it back after the 30 days or would you move on to something else. If moving on, can you recommend 2 or 3 other small cap names for me to look at?
Thanks

Q: Good Morning,

Assuming the fundamentals don't deteriorate, at what price range would you start to get interested in CELH again and watch for the potential of a recovery?

I was lucky enough to be playing with house money in this decline and have since exited, so I'm just observing the stock at the moment.

Thank you.

Q: I saw some of your comments on CELH performance being poor and that it's "supposed to be a growth stock". What about purchasing it and considering it more of a value stock play?

I started a small position and looking at a 4+ year hold.

It's very popular on tiktok and with people who are super into fitness and it's so much better than monster and reb bull.

Q: I am considering moving on from CELH and NXT. Do you feel there are more attractive replacements for these names today?

Q: How would you rank the above listed companies today for a long term hold?

Q: Can you please comment on CELH earnings? Is it as bad as it looks, still a hold or starting to look like business fundamentals are on the downturn and not just temporary weakness in the energy drink sector? Thx
