Investment Q&A

Q: Is recent question I asked was only partially answered. The question was asked by Tim on Oct 8. Here is your response:
Our top five for a growth investor with a long-term timeframe would be: SHOP ($220 if possible), BN ($91-$93), TRI ($190 to $200), CSU ($3800), TD ($105 to $110) /BNS ($85).

The part of the question not answered was whether these large cap stocks would be suitable for a tfsa. I have been using small caps mostly, but now am wanting to get more conservative. Thanks very much

Q: Have trimmed SHOP and NVDA in my TFSA and am looking to initiate some new positions - all are favourites of 5i - at todays pricing would you favour the most attractive "3" and if so, which 3, or simply buy across the board?

Thanks,

Terry

Q: I am in the process of sending my daughter funds to start a TFSA. She deals with Royal Bank. Can you suggest what is best for her to start. Mawer Mutual Funds or GIC's, or? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you Gordo

Q: Which for a growth orientated TFSA based on secular theme, current price , and expected growth. Thanks. Derek.

Q: Hi I was hoping you could help explain where an RRSP is preferred in investing over a TFSA. I consistently try to offset my income by contributing annually to my RRSP, however unsure the types of stocks or ETFs I should be holding. I currently pay into a pension, hence (pension + RRSP money) results in a higher tax bracket at retirement leading to more taxes down the road. I hold mostly high growth stocks as I feel I have time on my side with my age of 41, although don’t want to get bailed on taxes down the road. Something I feel I can’t avoid.

My question is, should I be holding such high growth stocks in my RRSP or consider other options ? If so, what?

I do understand TFSA’s are generally preferred for tax free reasons. This being said, my RRSP is steadily growing year after year.

Any guidance is much appreciated.

Q: My son (23) has 9000$ to invest in his first TFSA (he already has a FHSA account that is maxed out). He wants to open a TFSA investing account. Do you have a recommendation for how he breaks up the 9000.00 (ie. 3 stocks)? Are there any sectors that he should focus on at first? Do any particular stocks jump out at you as suitable for this kind or foray into the market?

Thanks in advance
Sue

Q: Sold TIXT in tfsa (11 equities) as do not want to hold Telus in this growth leaning account as I already have some in cash account oriented mostly towards dividend paying growth equities. So looking at which of my “better” remaining tfsa holdings to add to for next 18 to 24 months: lmn, tvk,dsg, drx or eqb or do I consider something new like png, vhi or zdc? I am long retired and survive on a DB pension.

Q: Hey everyone, I have a nice amount in my TFSA account. What I’m trying to do is grow the account over time, let’s say a 25yr time period as I don’t need the money. With your crystal ball in hand and a mindset of holding forever what twenty companies would you buy today? Companies can be anywhere in the world and be in any sector but they need to trade on a North American exchange. Appreciate you playing along.

Q: For a 5-10 year hold within a TFSA could you please provide your top 10 Canadian stocks or CDR’s ranked by total return/compounding potential? For a non-registered account with a 3-5 year timeframe could you also do a top 10 list including both Canadian or US equities (no CDR’s), again ranked by total return/compounding potential? Thanks.

Q: My search for XRP returns the following tickers: xrp-cad, xrp-us, xrp.to, xrp-cny, xrp-eur, axrp.sw, xrpp.to.

I think I understand some. I do not understand all.

Please explain ticker symbols, investment thesis for symbols, and your opinion on these investments for a new TFSA account at age 19.


Thank you.

Q: I loved this recent question from Giovanni, big kudos to him and his son for taking the fantastic suggestions from 5i, and GIANT HIGH 5 to 5i team!
So to ask the same question today, my 30ish daughter has about 45k cash in TFSA. Also has some NTDOY, DIS ZQQ and ZEB. Ok with ETFs but I don't think there is as good a chance for towering home runs like NVDA.
Let's grow!

Q: My son is 20 yrs old just opened a TFSA has $15K to invest for 10+yrs, Looking for high growth, Fairly risk tolerant, Can you please suggest how many and what Stocks/ETF's to invest in (US and/or Canadian) to get started? Thank you.

Q: say for example you have a million dollar portfolio, 800K in your RRSP and 200K in your TFSA. You want to hold 10 stocks total so 100K each, does that mean you would only hold 2 in your TFSA?

Q: When talk all started about Trump and tariffs I cashed out of the market and have been sitting on the side lines. I realize the BS is far from over but am thinking on getting back in. What top 5 CAN and top 5 US picks be for a TFSA account. Looking to hold for 3 yrs.

Q: Hello 5i Team,

What are your top 12 growth-oriented US stocks to buy in a TFSA for a 3-5 year hold?

Thanks in advance for your always helpful advice!

Q: Good Morning
Your company seems very high on these 2 companies. I have done some research on both but can only invest in one.
Of the two Zedcor and Kracken robotics which would you choose to put in your TFSA and why.

Q: Hello,

I’m currently organizing the holdings within my TFSA. At the moment, tech stocks make up 50% of the TFSA, even though the tech sector represents only 25% of my overall investment portfolio. This imbalance is mainly due to the rapid price growth of these tech holdings.

I’m wondering—should I place all high-flying stocks in my TFSA, regardless of sector allocation? The strong performance of these stocks is taking up a lot of space in the account. I'm trying to decide whether it's wise to focus on growth potential alone or maintain sector balance.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Q: Hello,
Can you share your top 10 fav Canadian stocks to buy in TFSA for long term hold?

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i team
Let me start by thanking you all for you valuable insights into markets and stock valuations through the years. My question is regarding a tfsa portfolio. I am considering reducing amount of stocks to 20. Which 6 stocks would you let go in order of first to sell to last. Secondly, could you give me a brief opinion/ comment on my present holdings in a tfsa and if there's value in keeping status quo.
Thanks as always
Gilles
