Q: Hi Gang,

If you had 40K CAD to invest in an unregistered account for a short 2 yr old.. given the environment in which we are in....Where would you invest? Sector is irrelevant - CAD stock is a must (I can't stomach the hit on conversion) UNLESS there is a CDR you would recommend although I know you prefer the real deal. Can be one or multiple. Goal is to maximize growth while preserving capital. Thank you!

Q: Hi group the above stocks i sold 1/2 of my folio about 3 months ago/ yes at a tidy profit. My question is I am 75 years old and have $100,000 to reinvest (20% of my total portfolio)...(dry power) i do not need any cash to supplement my income for at least 5 years unless the market falls of a cliff because of Trump/Tariffs. I would say I am a sleep at night investor So the question is what to do now wait or start nibbling now. These stocks make up about 70% of the total portfolio

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 am getting ready to DCA into these stocks in an unregistered account with higher than average risk profile. According to me, these stocks had a bit of a pullback with possibly more on the way.

In what order would you DCA into the stocks mentioned above? Is there any stock that you think should be excluded from this list?

Thanks
