Q: I own EIF in my TFSA. It has proven to be a steady dividend paying stock, holding up quite well in this downturn. My other stocks are small cap, some up some down. However, history has shown that the recent decline in stock prices present an opportunity for oversized gains. I would not expect this with EIF, and am looking to BAM, GSY, and MG for a larger eventual bounce, with the NASDAQ 100 as another option. TFSA Is a small part of total portfolio. Your thoughts on this switch with a discussion on these 4 is appreciated. Derek

I have $20,000 to top up my TFSA and wonder what would be best considering my above holdings. Should I add to any of the above or can you suggest any other stock or ETF that would be most suitable for growth and preservation. Your advice is most appreciated.

Q: Good Morning
We have a approximately 10k that we would like to contribute to our Grand daughters RESP. We would like to do so with stocks and have about a 10 year window before the funds would be needed. Could you suggest 3 conservative stocks that would be appropriate for this type of account with one additional stock having a more aggressive approach?
Thks

Q: I held a smallish position in Canada Goose, and was getting less optimistic about sales growth, particularly in China, and sold half early in 2021 at about $53. Obviously should have sold all of it.
Today's results were disappointing with regard to the outlook.

(1)Wondering what you think of the GOOS results.

(2) If I sell the remaining GOOS shares, I would add to an existing smallish position in one of Pollard Banknote, Park Lawn or Trisura. How would you rank these 4 companies, GOOS, PBL, PLC, TSU, as part of a balanced portfolio with a tolerance for risk?

Q: I have a small RESP for my son and was planning on splitting the account with these 6 stocks. Any thoughts and / or suggestions on removing / adding name(s). Buy and forget for 10yr+ and likely adding to the positions every year. My intent is to have a more serious look at the allocation / risk once the amount becomes more meaningful. Thank you!

Q: Greetings 5i team,
I hold WELL and DSG in my TFSA to the tune of about 1.5% each of my overall portfolio. I am considering selling one or both and concentrating on one of three companies: WELL, DSG or GSY. If we were to ignore company size, sector, diversification and strictly look at 5 yr growth potential, would you 1. Hold one or two of these names and 2. In which order do you think has / have the most potential?
I am not averse to holdings of < 3% if I might add to them in the future.
Thank you as always.
