Q: Happy New Year!

I am looking at where to deploy my TFSA contribution for this year and would be interested to hear your thoughts. My largest position is BN at close to 5% so I am thinking of adding to my smaller positions listed above. If this were your portfolio, would you add this year's $7000 to one stock, or add smaller amounts to two or three stocks? Or, would you only add to BN as it is still at a sleep at night percentage?

Thank you!

Q: I would like to contribute an existing holding from my non-registered account into my TFSA in early 2026, but am unsure about which holding to contribute. Which of these do you think makes the most sense to move into my TFSA based on potential upside/income? I have a long-term 10+ year hold period. Thanks!

Q: I have 26 positions in a combination of your growth and balanced funds and have liquidity to add 3 or 4 new positions or add on's to what I have. Without listing my positions, is it fair to ask you for your 'fav' 5 or 6 undervalued equities that I could add while there is tax loss selling?

Q: Hello 5i Team

With the buyout of LB at $40.50, which will occur Q3 2026 and current share price around $39.90, is it better to sell or to wait out the nine months to closing and collect 3 x $0.47 dividend plus sale price equal to $41.91.

Second, if I was to sell today, which would be the best purchase:

EQB
GSY
PRL

or allocate one third of the sales proceeds to each?

Thanks for great services 5i provides.
