Q: Hi Team,
I am looking for a tfsa candidate to play the secular growing demand in the north American electricity grid. Would Grid fit the bill here? The company seems to be doing well, and with a smaller 240mil market cap it seems that there could be multi bagger opportunity here over the next decade, would your agree? If you do not see Grid as a top pick today, do you have a couple alternative suggestions for a high conviction growth stock for this years tfsa contribution?

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: You’re thoughts on finning

Q: In the growth portfolio, could you list the companies you would add to in a TFSA from highest conviction to lowest. Maybe six of them,

Q: I hold small (less than 1%) positions in VNP and GRID. I would like to beef up the size of my holdings or sell and redistribute the funds into other positions. Would you put more money into VNP and GRID, combine the two into one holding of either VNP or GRID, or reallocate the funds. Thank you for your help with this.

Q: Happy New Year to the entire 5i community.

It is time to make my 2026 TFSA contribution. My TFSA is a high conviction portfolio focused on a few US securities with a risk profile somewhere in between that of the 5i Growth and Balanced portfolios. Currently, I hold AAPL, ADBE, CRM, GOOG, NVDA, QCOM, and TOL in this account. Which should I add to? I am very overweight NVDA and slightly overweight in GOOG.

If you think initiating a new position would be preferable (US securities only, and not MSFT, LLY, IBM, or MDT since I own these in another account), please let me know. No consideration to sector or market cap necessary as I am diversified in my other accounts.

If you believe any of my current holdings 'do not need to be owned', please let me know as well.

There are several questions here, please deduct as many credits as deemed appropriate for a complete response to each one.

Thank you as always.

Q: What are the 10 best Canadian stocks that have a higher ROIC percentage and allocate their capital really well for a 5-10 year hold

Q: As my wife and I 'leap' over the 90 year-yard line, we ponder what to invest in for our heirs in the coming year - - specifically using our 'new' TFSA contribution room. Historically, we have preferred to use Perpetual Preferred shares - - specifically WN.PR.A and POW.PR.A for their yield, their track record as companies, their distributions which are dividends and taxed as such, and they offer DRIP (at least in our discount house). I am looking for suggestions of other high quality firms that might be considered. Use as many credits as required to answer please. Thank you for all your help over the past several years. Happy New Year! Bill
