Q: Good Morning 5i Team,

In my TFSA I have some cash parked from the sale of some equities. I'm looking to move this cash into a few grow potential stocks, with a growth horizon of 5 years +. I do have a decent risk tolerance. With this in mind, what would be the 3-5 companies I should be researching?

Q: Have been thinking about Chris’s question Sept. 25 regarding these two companies.

So it makes sense to buy BNT because you may have better share appreciation than BN and if you don’t then you can exchange it into the higher priced BN ? Thanks. Derek.

Q: if I currently own equal amounts of BN and BNT. for additional purchases why would I buy BNT? the prices for each company are virtually identical for example . I compared the price for both companies for 1 month 3 month 6 month YTD and one year and within pennies the price for both companies is the same. I look forward to your answer. thanks Richard

Q: I am constructing a dividend growth portfolio with the intention of holding all positions for the longterm, holding the following equities in equal weight (likely only one of MRU or L - or should I include both?), with 80% of the portfolio consisting of these individual equities and 20% in the ETF VGG.

Would there be any in this list you would not include, and are there other Canadian equities you would consider for this list? Is this the appropriate number of positions for such a portfolio. Please deduct multiple credits as required, thank you.

Q: I have held Brookfield for 15 years. I have reviewed their investor presentation several times in the last week. With the Wealth Solutions and carried interest projected growth they forecast a 25% Distributable earnings growth is possible over the next 5 years. It looks like they have shifted gears and the next 15 years of business growth should be better than the last 15. Any comments

Q: Which ones (if any) would you buy and hold and forget for 10 years?
Read Answer Asked by Ray on September 18, 2025
Q: I have held BAM in a taxable account since the spin off.: position size of 1.65% and a gain of 109%. I also hold BN in both taxable and registered accounts: 2.97% position size and 60% gain. My aim going forward is to maximise growth. Is it a good idea to keep holding both or should I consolidate all into BN going forward? There are enough capital losses accrued to offset the capital gain on BAM if that is sold.

Q: Yesterday you answered a question regarding three companies you would buy for growth for five years, asked by Judith. You gave the first three and left out your favourite company of all time, CSU. I imagine that is because we are focusing on growth and CSU, being bigger than the others will likely grow less. I tend to be a little leery of lmn and don’t have a high percentage. But, where would it fit, and what would your choices be, if the question was asked in such a way that growth was important but also relative safety? Safety, not in the sense of say, the banks, but something with good prospects for above average growth?

Q: My son (23) has 9000$ to invest in his first TFSA (he already has a FHSA account that is maxed out). He wants to open a TFSA investing account. Do you have a recommendation for how he breaks up the 9000.00 (ie. 3 stocks)? Are there any sectors that he should focus on at first? Do any particular stocks jump out at you as suitable for this kind or foray into the market?

Thanks in advance
Sue
