Q: Hi 5i,
We (senior investors and drawing from portfolios) have $173,000 in 2 TFSA accounts. We have $32,000 cash available in these accounts. Accounts currently hold AC, KXS, NFI, PHO, SIS, SHOP, and fixed income XBB and XHY. What would you suggest I look at to add to this mix at this time for long term holds. No cash is drawn from either TFSA .
Best Regards,
Ted

Q: I presently hold ENF in an income portfolio. And before I make any change I would just like to verify my understanding of what I read yesterday. I take it that you would favour ALA over ENF for income. Here is the quote from yesterday's Q&A's comparing ENF to ALA:
"We would prefer ALA, for its dividend growth potential and expected growth from its acquisition strategy. We would not be too concerned on either dividend, but would consider ALA also a bit safer. It raised its dividend in October."

Q: Morning,

I don't view Callidus as a must sell and I think your recent comments have suggested that you are comfortable holding. My question is whether you would expect this to drift even lower with tax loss selling in the next two weeks? I don't have an appetite to hold it down to $8 or 9$ and wonder if it makes sense to sell now and take another look in the new year?

Your advice? Buy sell or hold?
