Q: Hi Team,
For an 18 year old who just opened their TFSA and starting with $6500, what stocks or ETFs (CDN and/or US) would you start with? There are no trading fees so there is no worry to buy 10 names if that is the best way forward.
Thanks

Q: Hi
Wondering if these two companies are moving along on much the same pathway as CSU was in its infancy, wrt valuation metrics, trading volumes, share price, market cap etc?
Also why is LMN trading twice as many shares per day then TOI given TOI market cap is 8x LMN? Is it more well known even this early? Why is the volume so low?

Thanks
Jeff

Q: A question on Telesat
What are your thoughts on the recent news and run up in this stock... I have always been interested in this and MDA and others in the space sector. Can you provide and updated view on Telesat considering the MDA contract and huge cost savings and specifically the TAM for the LEO satellites seems to be Massive.
Also what other companies would be classified as competitors specifically for Telesat's focus on non-consumer enterprise, government, aviation industries? Starlink is eventually going to offer those services but they focus on residential currently. Thanks!
