Q: The Canadian market has been weak lately, and I think Trump's potential tariffs will mean more weakness near term. Rather than top up a TFSA in January, how about waiting for the near term anxiety to produce lower prices, and then get in?

Q: Hi,

Just getting ready to transfer funds from my cash account to my TFSA. I currently have a portion of LMN and KXS in a cash account. I have a larger cap gain in LMN. Which of the two do you feel would be best to move
Into a TFSA. I have the room to move an entire amount of either, but not both.

Or is this a coin toss? The cap gain isn’t much, so really doesn’t matter in the long term. As both have run some in the last month, the decision isn’t as easy as it was when KXS was laboring. Thx

Q: Hello team,
Can you help me understand please whether i should put new monies in TFSA towards bep.un or bepc ? On yahoo, i see bep.un has dividend of 5.87 percent but 1 year return of minus 2 percent where as bepc has dividend of 4.7 percent but one year return of 14 percent. From income and growth perspective, bepc seems to be better bet.. If this is the case, are investors losing out by investing in bep.un? i have huge loss in my rrsp from bep.un so would like to know where to put new monies as it seems brookfield would benefit from the energy transition. Alternatively, am i better off simply putting all my monies in BN and forget the spinoffs.. please explain and thank you ..

Q: I'm considering opening a TFSA for a spouse who has a low income. However, he is considered a dual citizen. There seems to be conflicting advice about whether it makes sense to open a TFSA for someone considered a dual citizen,.
Can you clarify this?

Q: Good day,

I am setting up TFSA and FHSA accounts for an 18-year-old with a 15-25 year investment horizon. The goal is to contribute the maximum annual limit each year, which is $7,000 for the TFSA and $8,000 for the FHSA in 2024, and continuing at those levels in subsequent years. From an aggressive growth perspective, without restricting the investment options to Canadian markets, what would you recommend? Also, do you recommend making an lumpsum investment or spread the purchases over time? If so, how do you suggest I spread the purchases.

Thank you
