Q: If you were setting up a TFSA with CAD equities only, what five stocks do you recommend ranked by order you would purchase. If you could give a brief reason as to why you recommended each equity, that would be appreciated.

Q: Good morning and happy Friday.

Here is a fun little exercise, if you had 1 million $ concentrated portfolio of 5-10 stocks and had a goal of an average 6%-8% return annually via combination of dividend and capital appreciation of holdings what stocks would you own? Canadian holding, and combo Canadian/U.S.A holdings. So 2x portfolio examples.

I realize this is just for fun and not financial advice. Thank you for the years of great service.

Q: Thank you for your insightful reply on a concentrated core US portfolio. Although greater than 5% allocations in the 3 Canadian portfolios provide guidance on building a Canadian core portfolio, I would appreciate your reply focusing on some of the key differentiating criteria [such as compounders, duopoly] that you identified in your US selections. I assume CSU will be on the list, but uncertain as to he rest. As with your previous answer, please provide key rstionale and target buy prices.
Thank you
