Q: Of the above companies which would you choose for a TFSA if you were to select only one? Please rank them in order (best to "less best") re your expectations for long term growth (say, over the next 10 years).
If you had only one pick for a long term TFSA hold of any stock (or ETF) without regard to CAD vs US, market sector or market cap, what would that be, assuming a young (mid-20's) investor with a currently well diversified, growth-oriented TFSA?

Q: Hi 5iResearch Team,

I’m currently quite bullish on the copper industry and would appreciate your thoughts on the best way to invest in this space. Do you think CPER is a solid choice, or would you recommend looking at specific copper companies instead? If the latter, which copper companies do you have the most conviction in at the moment?

Thank you for your time and insights—I greatly appreciate your help.
