Q: The equities in your model portfolio have grown substantially in purchase price since you set up the model portfolio. Do you recommend purchasing these stocks at these levels?

Q: Hello 5i Team,

As TFSA 'season' comes upon us in a few weeks, I'm wondering if an article discussing what should and should not be placed in a TFSA. My thinking is along the theme basis versus individual stocks. For example dividend paying energy stocks or industrial REITS, or consumer staples...

At this time of the year such advice would allow each of us to do some research into possible additions to the TFSA or increasing an existing stock.

Thanks,
Ronald

Q: Greetings, all. Back in 2007-08, if one had concerns about equity markets, one could 'run' to government bonds as a safe haven with a part of your portfolio. Today, I'm not sure that is the case, with Fed Tapering being seemingly THE concern for investors today, with a somewhat ugly preview in early summer.

What do you think is the best way of protecting portfolios these days against potential risks in the coming months and years?

Q: Hi Guy's,
This is a suggestion and not a question. Why not change your "submit question" form to have a cell for the name of the company and the ticker that the member must fill in before the question is submitted. This will assist you and all the other members with the question.

All the best in 2014.

Regards
John
