Q: I hold BIPC and ABBV in a US TFSA account. I want to add GOOG. I know that there is a 15% unrecoverable witholding tax on dividends and no tax on capital gains when withdrawal occurs. Since I will not be withdrawing for 5 to 10 years Should I keep these in the TFSA account or move them to a unregstered account? 80 year old value investor with some growth stocks.

Q: I am opening a TFSA and would like to transfer some of my holdings to that account, which I know I have in my RRSP (sell and re-purchase). My thinking is holding the items which offer more growth potential. Is this a good argument in deciding where to hold various holdings? From the following names, which would you think make more sense to hold in my TFSA than in my RRSP?
AEM, ATZ, BN, DSG, GSY, LMN, SHOP, TRP, TRI, WSP, TOI

Q: Hello Peter,
I tried to balance growth and income as well as dividends (no with holding tax in RRSP for US stocks but there is in TFSA), and hence, can you let me know if these make sense for a mid 20s person starting off to have a more growth in TFSA and more income in RRSP.
TFSA: veqt, vgg, and xfn and maybe xic ( veqt has cdn exposure so thought i would exclude xic )
RRSP: vbal, zuq, xic, and xuu all of these trade on tsx. Much appreciated.

Q: The Canadian market has been weak lately, and I think Trump's potential tariffs will mean more weakness near term. Rather than top up a TFSA in January, how about waiting for the near term anxiety to produce lower prices, and then get in?
