Q: I have some USD cash sitting in my RRSP. What would be your most compelling buys today for an agressive investor for an RRSP, irregardless of sector. Kindly rank if possible. (with the caveat that tax loss selling isn’t possible)

I was considering FCX or EXP as I am light on materials. Would either of these fit in an RRSP, and which of these two would be your preference at this time?

Thank you

Q: At current valuations what would be your top 3 picks, regardless of sector, amongst the available CDR's for a long term hold within the TFSA of a 26 year-old (top 4 picks if NVDA happens to be one of your top 3 choices). If you then also throw LMN, CSU, BA and ATD into the mix what would your ranking be (best to worst) along with your conviction/confidence level (10 = most confident, 0 = least confident) for each choice and a brief statement as to why. Many thanks.

Q: Hello 5i,

Could you please share your thoughts regarding the TSLA robotaxies announcement.

Also do you think there are downsides in owning TSLA via the CDR as opposed to the US stock directly? Is $16 CAD a good entry point for the TSLA CDR?

Thank you

Q: Thank you for answering my earlier question on the screening criteria for Options. Your customary comprehensive and measured answer has an inbuilt framework for an article by itself! Your words of caution is appreciated.

Using the criteria that you have outlined in that answer i.e. Mkt cap 10 B+, Good cash position and sales and earnings growth, positive cash flow and reasonable volatility and momentum, can you give me 5 stocks for writing covered calls?

Where I get stumped is that some good companies give paltry premiums! Hence this question!

Always appreciate your insight.

Q: In a high growth portfolio I hold the following US stocks: CRWD, GOOGL, NVO, Uber and the ETF XT. I think I would like to replace the ETF XT with a single growth stock. XT has done okay for me in that it has doubled but that took nearly 10 years. Can you recommend a faster growing US stock that would be a good fit?

Thank you.
