Q: I’m doing a fairly major portfolio clean-up and account optimization exercise.
Specifically, I’m removing dividend-oriented and income-generating stocks from my TFSA and RRSP that are better suited to a non-registered account, and reallocating TFSA/RRSP capital to assets that benefit most from tax sheltering.
At a broad level, I’d appreciate your perspective on:
• Which CAD and USD names are best suited to an RRSP (e.g., U.S. dividend payers, global compounders, cyclicals, etc.)
• Which CAD and USD names are best suited to a TFSA (long-term growth, compounding, low income leakage)
I’m less interested in yield optimization and more focused on long-term after-tax efficiency and proper account placement.
If helpful, feel free to answer at a category level (e.g., “U.S. dividend aristocrats,” “Canadian compounders,” etc.) or with specific examples you think are particularly well-suited.
Thanks — looking forward to your thoughts.

Q: I have the following in the industrial sector of my total portfolio.:
AXON = 1.1%, CAE = 0.9%, HPS.A = 1.9%, ZDC = 0.4%, VRT = 3.4%, WSP = 5.2%, CWW (etf) = 3.1%
Am ok with the VRT, WSP, CWW levels. I have new money to add to some or all of the smaller % holdings. Can you weigh in on what your approach would be, including selling any or buying something else . Thanks as always for your knowledgeable, experienced and measured assessment.

Q: Hi everyone at 5i thank you all for the great information love this service. So from an analytics point of view I am overweight tech and under weight industrials. Given the recent pull back is this a “good“ switch? This is in a registered account so no tax implications. I’m not that good at charts but it looks like there is some support at $500 for AXON? The other tech stocks I have are NVDA, SHOP, AAPL, CSU, LMN, TOI, of these CRWD is the worst performer only because of the date of acquiring it. I would love to hear your opinion. Thanks again for all your help.

Q: The above stocks make up 80.4% of my holdings. Goog and BN @7% each. The next 5 @ 4% each and the rest at or close to 3% each. For a 10 year horizon, with risk/reward in mind, where would you invest if you had 10% of the portfolio in dry powder- new cash. Any you would sell? Note, I have been trimming CLS, VRT and NBIS to control AI exposure.
Thanks again for all the insights - love the service you provide.
Thanks again for all the insights - love the service you provide.
Q: Recently we trimmed NVDA and bought a small amount of AXON at just under $800. In your opinion is the recent drop in price an opportunity to 'buy the dip' or 'wait for it to settle'?
