Q: My wife and I are each opening up a TFSA with 75000 initial deposit in each account. We are thinking of putting 5-8 ETF's into the one account and 10-12 stocks into the other account. Wondering if this is a good strategy or if you would suggest something different? The emphasis would be primarily on growth, but not at extreme risk. Can you recommend 5 or more ETF's (and percentage allotted for each) for good diversity for the one account, and 10-12 stocks equally spread out to cover the $75,000 in the other account.
Please deduct as many credits as appropriate.
Many thanks, Jake

Q: I am participating in a fun challenge at work wherein all staff get $100,000 of play money to invest in stocks June 30, 2021. The "portfolios" will all be valued September 30, 2021 and the three highest value portfolios win a small prize. I know this is nothing more than a crap shoot, but can you recommend a few (I'm thinking 5 or less) stocks that might run during that period?

Q: Can you please provide recommendations for three US and 3 Canadian consumer cyclicals, with the strongest conviction names noted first? Medium risk-tolerance, with a preference for a longer-term hold (3-5 years).

On a related note, I already own PLC and am considering swapping it out for ATZ. Can you please rate these two stocks for growth and risk?

Thank you.

Q: I perceive a change in Bitcoin/crypto sentiment - El Salvador, other LatAm countries, now India is changing it's tune......
Rather than own cryptocurrencies outright, I'm looking for more torque on their appreciation. Would you consider either of these companies to be a good way to leverage any appreciation of the underlying cryptocurrencies? I understand this is a double-edge sword.

Q: This one looks like a great pick - thank you for bringing it to my attention. It looks like it has nice growing earnings and yet appears to be cheap when looking at some basic metrics. What is the risk on this one? Is this a case of the market not picking up on the value or is there a reason why it is cheap? I once bought research in motion instead of apple because it looked cheaper. Hence I stopped looking at the cheapness factor awhile ago. Thank you,

Jason
