Q: I am opening a TFSA and would like to transfer some of my holdings to that account, which I know I have in my RRSP (sell and re-purchase). My thinking is holding the items which offer more growth potential. Is this a good argument in deciding where to hold various holdings? From the following names, which would you think make more sense to hold in my TFSA than in my RRSP?
AEM, ATZ, BN, DSG, GSY, LMN, SHOP, TRP, TRI, WSP, TOI

Q: Assuming the current selloff continues, VIX goes up to 35+, and recession is almost certain in the US. Regardless of sector, what US/CAD stocks YOU would buy for capital appreciation if you have CAD$ 100,000? YOU plan to hold these stocks more than 3 years and you believe these companies will survive the economic downturn no matter how hard it will be.

Q: I have decided to orientate my portfolio more towards the US, while keeping approximately 30% Canadian. I am also looking at India for my first international investment. Most of these stocks are asset light and large cap.
In the US the sectors are non bank financials, tech, and industrials. In Canada I have chosen large caps with significant non Canada revenue.
My dividend income would decrease but I can handle that. This would be an equal weight portfolio.

What do you think of this approach and of the individual stocks?
Should I just buy an SPY 500 etf for the US ?
Is FFH appropriate for India or is there an ETF you would recommend ?
Thanks .Derek

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Our Industrial holdings are too high, considering their vulnerability to the “Trump tariffs”, as you suggested in a question today from Shirley.

In what order would you reduce or sell any of these stocks? This is a daunting task, as I like them all, and they are among the “cream of the crop” in this sector.

I’m planning to use the proceeds to buy some US small and mid-cap ETFs and would appreciate any Canadian domiciled ETFs that you could suggest.

Thanks for your insight.
