Q: Hello, Can you please list in order which one of these Titans would you recommend for a 10 year hold within a TFSA. Or, should all three be held, currently in my US TFSA I only hold COST. I have other investments like ETFs and stocks in my CDN TFSA for diversity.

Thanks,
Robbie

Q: I'm trying to build a diversified portfolio and I'm weak as far as income/value stocks are concerned. It would be helpful if you could provide me with a list of 5 Canadian and 5 American companies that provide some income and have a history of increasing their dividends. I'm not seeking high dividends so much but more interested in companies that pay a dividend but keep steady growth as a goal as well. If you would rank the lists best to worst it would be a bonus. Your support is much appreciated.

Q: Hi Peter and Team
With the expectation that both the Canadian and US markets should do well for the next two years, can you suggest 5 CDN and 5 US stocks to consider for long term purchase in reasonably well balanced registered portfolios (RRIF and TFSA) that now have significant (>15%) cash positions. Thanks for the ongoing support.

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan, I have no US stocks in my TFSA, RSP or Margin Accounts. I was thinking of adding some but not sure in which account it is best for them, or if it matters. How would they affect each one and do you have 1 or 2 suggestions for long term hold for each of them based on where it is better to hold them. Thanks
