Q: I am planning to deploy the $7000 in the TFSA sometime next week. The TFSA is growth focused and for a long term hold (5-10+ years).

These are the 3 names I am thinking of adding to:
CSU - today's price is $4400 ish
BN - today's price is $82 - $83 ish.
NVDA - today's price is $144 USD ish.

Due to CSU's high price tag, I can only add to 2 of the 3 names. Which 2 names would you add to, at today's prices?

Q: I have some money sitting on the sidelines. What would be your top 5 stocks to buy this year? Looking for modest growth and not high risk.

Thanks

Q: Happy New Year !
What are a handful of top picks please for this year's TFSA and RRSP contributions? Max long term growth is the goal here.
Thanks very much.

Q: These are 3 Canadian stalwarts in my kids' RESP. Expected 1st year of withdrawal is 2035.
CSU - today's price is $4481 ish
ATD - today's price is $79 ish
BN - today's price is $82 ish

I only have enough money to add to 2 of the 3 positions today. Which 2 names would you add to, at today's prices?

Q: Happy New Year Everyone. Thanks so much for your much appreciated service. I have $10,000 to deploy in an RESP account for three grandchildren with a 10-15 yr time horizon. What are three new stock ideas along with suggestions on what current stocks I could add to assuming they are equal weightings. Current stocks: AEM, ARX, BN, CSU, ENB, IFC, LMN, RY, TD, TOU, TRI, TVE and WSP. Thanks.

Q: Hello, I hold BN and BAM (following the spinoff) in a registered account. BAM is a small position, any reason I should hold on to it? I have no need for dividends. Thanks!

Q: I own both of these companies in my unregistered account. Is it prudent to own both? I am thinking of selling BIP.UN.
Thanks so much

Q: With recent pullback what are your top 5 Cdn and US names that have pulled back to attractive entry points?

Thank you
Tim

Q: Good morning,

I'm looking to add an asset manager on the US side. Or possibly adding to BN as well in my non registered.

With a bit of a pullback do you have a preferred company in that space at current valuation and future prospects.

With a possible buy range as well please.

Thank you!

Q: Good morning,

I hold BN in my non-registered account for my canadian side of my portfolio.

I've been looking to add to my TFSA on the US side in the same sector.

I see some of the notable ones are pulling back a hair.
From APO, BX, KKR could you please give me your pick. And if it's different than those proposed please put it forward as well.

Along with a value range to add. This will be longterm full position.

Thank you very much.

Q: Private Equity seems to be taking off and I want to protect my Tech gains. I still hold the Mag 7 but getting rid of others. Do you agree with this strategy, and can you recommend others? Thanks!

Q: What is the recommendation to own in a registered account? What is the difference between these 2 securities?

Q: Good afternoon
As a follow up to your response regarding your preference to purchase BN in a CDN$ Non Registered account would it also be advantageous to journal the BN shares that I currently hold in my US$ Non Registered account to my CDN$ Non Registered account given the relatively low value of the CDN$ and journal them back to the US$ account when the CDN$ regains some of its recent loss in value?
Thank you and I’ll await your sage advice,
Francesco

Q: Good morning,

My questions this morning is partly Currency related as it applies to BN in particular and your best idea for a stock to add to the "ALTERNATIVES" portion of my overall family portfolio.

Q1. Would you kindly recommend your best two ideas for a stock to add in the "Alternatives" portion of my overall portfolio.

Q2. For my US$ Non Registered account, I was thinking of adding some BN to the existing holdings by buying BN in CDN$ and journaling the CDN$ stocks over to my US$ Non Registered account as I have done in the past.
That said and given that the CDN$ has dropped significantly of late and with perhaps more to go, would it be preferable at this time to simply purchase BN in my CDN$ account and leave the shares in the CDN$ Non Registered account with no journaling into the US$ account.

Thank you and I'll await your response.

Q: I have approximately $70k cash in my TFSA account that I would like to invest before the end of the year. I currently have the above stocks in my TFSA. My investments in Lightspeed and Unity have taken a big hit (70 to 80% loss) since purchasing these stocks. I understand that I cannot claim losses on investments in my TFSA account. Would you suggest selling off my investments in Lightspeed and Unity and reinvesting these funds? As noted above, I have cash in my TFSA to be invested. Please rank my current TFSA holdings for additional investment considering a 5 to 10 year hold. Thank you for your expertise and best wishes for the Holiday Season.

Q: This Friday, BAM shareholders (but no other Brookfield entity, correct?) will vote on becoming US-domiciled, and, as-such, eligible for inclusion in US indices.

Assuming approval, (a) should this change catalyze an expansion of its P/E multiple (or is that already priced-in), and (b) should this change catalyze, indirectly, a proportional expansion for BN?

Q: Reading some recent comments, it looks like you are recommending both of these. If you had to choose one for the highest overall gains in the next three years, which one would it be? Happy holidays and thank you.

Q: It’s RRSP season. I am very overweight the US market (and tech) and with the declining dollar, I am considering buying a Canadian security.

Can you list your 5 favourite Canadian Picks for a Canadian RRSP. I already own GSY, Propel, TVK. Considering CNQ as I have no energy exposure.

You can be aggressive or conservative in your recommendations. I have no preference as to market cap or sector.

Please rank your favourites.

Thank you.

Q: Good Morning, Could I have your top five picks for income and capital gains in 2025 Also what would be your top ideas for good companies that are being sold off because of tax loss selling. Thank you
